Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of atomizing fluids. Some embodiments described herein relate to a nozzle for atomization of one fluid in an exhaust system of a combustion engine or gas turbine, the nozzle comprising an inlet and two or more outlets, arranged so that fluid streams discharged from the two or more outlets impinge at a distance from the two or more outlets so that the fluid streams discharged from at least two of the two or more outlets impinge each other at a specified angle in the range of 70° to 95° so as to provide a spray by atomization of the fluid. The fluid streams may e.g. have a cross section in the order of 0.005 to 0.05 mm2 before impingement.
