VAPORIZATION CHAMBERS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

摘要

A vaporization chamber may include at least one conduit and a shell. The at least one conduit may have an inlet at a first end, an outlet at a second end and a flow path therebetween. The shell may surround a portion of the conduit and define a chamber surrounding the portion of the conduit. Additionally, a plurality of discrete apertures may positioned at longitudinal intervals in a wall of the conduit, each aperture of the plurality of discrete apertures sized and configured to direct a jet of fluid into the conduit from the chamber. A liquid may be vaporized by directing a first fluid comprising a liquid into the inlet at the first end of the conduit, directing jets of a second fluid into the conduit from the chamber through discrete apertures in a wall of the conduit and transferring heat from the second fluid to the first fluid.
