Apparatus and Method for Preventing Crosswind Interference in Induction Nozzles

摘要

A modified version of an induction nozzle having a central "see-through" passive zone protects the induction ports from crosswind disruption. Modified features include: (i) a full-length wind band extending below the induction port inlets; (ii) multiple full-length mounting brackets, which impede circumferential crosswind flow around the nozzle; (iii) a transverse induction port separation plate, orthogonal to the centerlines of the induction ports; and (iv) elimination of one induction port opening.
