Abstract
ABSTRACT The performance of the water jet nozzle affects the water energy consumption in practical application. In this study, the response surface method was used in order to increase performances of the self-excited pulsed nozzle. The left and right wall inclination angle, the lower wall inclination angle and the inlet hole distance were selected as the impact factors on the jet impact force, pulse frequency and cleaning rate. Optimal value ranges of the left and right wall inclination angle, lower wall inclination angle and inlet hole distance were 19°–21°, 9°–13°, and 7.2 mm–7.6 mm, respectively. The optimized self-excited pulsed nozzle was tested for the comparison with the original one, indicating that the jet impact force, pulse main frequency and cleaning rate of the optimized nozzle were increased by 14.0%, 38.1%, and 20%, respectively. It was also obtained that the decline degree of jet performance of the optimized nozzle with the increase of the spraying distance was decreased by 20% and the cleaning time was also reduced by 20%, which would reduce water energy consumption largely. This paper may provide a reference for optimization and energy saving in the application of the self-excited pulsed nozzle.
