Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In some aspects, nozzles for gas-cooled plasma torches can include a body having a first end and a second end that define a longitudinal axis; a plenum region substantially formed within the body that extends from the first end and is configured to receive a plasma gas flow; an exit orifice located at the second end oriented substantially coaxially with the longitudinal axis, the exit orifice fluidly connected to the plenum region; and a feature on an outer surface of the body to increase cooling by receiving a high velocity cooling gas flow flowing in a direction along a length of the body, an impingement surface of the feature to receive the cooling gas flow at a substantially perpendicular direction relative to the impingement surface and to redirect the cooling gas flow to promote cooling and uniform shield flow.
First claim
