Abstract

The invention pertains to the field of jet technology and essentially relates to a multi-nozzle jet apparatus. Each nozzle of the apparatus is furnished with a filter element installed at the inlet side of the nozzle. The filter element constitutes a sleeve with longitudinal apertures in its side wall, the total surface area of the apertures in each filter element exceeds more than twice the surface area of the cross-section of the throat of the nozzle, the width of each aperture in the filter element is at least two times smaller than the shortest distance between the opposite walls in the cross-section of the nozzle in the zone of the throat of the nozzle. Each mixing chamber is furnished with an inlet duct located in the receiving chamber, the height of each inlet duct represents from 0.05 to 86 times its diameter. This invention provides improved effectiveness and reliability of the multi-nozzle liquid-gas jet apparatus.
