The Need
In various industrial applications, the demand for versatile fluidic systems capable of delivering multidirectional sweeping outputs has become crucial. Traditional jet interaction-type fluidic oscillators, while efficient, face limitations when it comes to covering wide, multidirectional fields without cumbersome setups. The need for a compact, multidirectional fluidic device that offers seamless communication between output streams has become imperative for industries requiring precise fluid control across multiple directions.
The Technology
Our cutting-edge sweeping jet device with multidirectional output revolutionizes fluidic systems. The device comprises a unique design, incorporating a first portion, a second portion, and a middle portion. The middle portion houses an interaction chamber, two fluid supply inlets, and two outlet nozzles. By introducing distinct fluid streams into the interaction chamber, the collision of these streams results in sweeping fluid outputs through the outlet nozzles. This innovative technology allows for multidirectional sweeping outputs with precision and control, offering unparalleled fluid distribution capabilities.
