HOLLOW MICROSPHERE PARTICLE GENERATOR

摘要

A hollow microsphere particle generator comprising at least one inlet for receiving at least one shell fluid; an inlet for receiving a core fluid, an inlet for receiving a sheath fluid; a fluid outlet, from which the at least one shell fluid and the core fluid exit in a continuous stream arranged such that the core fluid coaxially covered by the at least one shell fluid to form a continuous casting stream; and a discretizer capable of discretizing the continuous casting stream into discrete units to form the hollow spherical particles. The at least one shell fluid and the core fluid form the continuous coaxial casting fluid stream that exits at the fluid outlet. The casting fluid stream is discretized upon exiting the outlet, and dispensed into a sheathing fluid stream formed from the sheathing fluid such that exposure to air is prevented.
