PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively and efficiently deliver liquid spray to air before its intake into an engine.SOLUTION: A system includes a plurality of independently-operable nozzle stages, which divide a flow path into a plurality of subsections. A group of the nozzle stages constitutes a unit of the system, which is constructed of a plurality of repeating units. The units are spaced to allow air to be flowed through. A nozzle array is configured to equally humidify the air through each subsection. The design of the nozzle array achieves uniform mixing of the air and water close to the point of injection of the air and water across the entire water injection range. As a result, this maximizes the time available for evaporation of drops in the air that is not oversaturated. |
