Application: Electronic pulse injection system for an icing wind tunnel (Patent ID: US20240094085A1)
The patent filed by Raytheon Technologies Corp. describes a system for dispersing supercooled liquid water in an icing wind tunnel. The system includes a spray bar, a spray nozzle, a pressure control valve, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive input for the desired liquid water content and water droplet size, adjust the injector duty cycle of the spray nozzle to generate the selected liquid water content, and configure the pressure control valve to generate the selected water droplet size for dispersing the supercooled liquid water effectively in the icing wind tunnel. Additionally, the system can adjust water pressure based on water droplet size data and liquid water content data to ensure optimal dispersion.
The patent also includes claims for a control system and method for dispersing supercooled liquid water in an icing wind tunnel. The control system involves a spray bar, spray nozzle, pressure control valve, controller, and memory storing instructions for adjusting the injector duty cycle and water pressure based on the desired liquid water content and water droplet size. The method outlined in the patent involves receiving input for the desired parameters, adjusting the injector duty cycle and pressure control valve accordingly, and monitoring water droplet size and liquid water content data to make necessary adjustments. Overall, the patent focuses on a comprehensive system and method for efficient dispersal of supercooled liquid water in an icing wind tunnel.
