LIQUID FLOW CONTROL FOR FILM DEPOSITION
A method for controlling liquid flow through an apparatus comprising an orifice (245) and an adjacent flexible diaphragm (220) separated from each other by a gap (225) through which a liquid flows, the orifice (245) comprising a liquid outlet (255) within a gas flow passageway (290), the method comp...

Zusammenfassung: | A method for controlling liquid flow through an apparatus comprising an orifice (245) and an adjacent flexible diaphragm (220) separated from each other by a gap (225) through which a liquid flows, the orifice (245) comprising a liquid outlet (255) within a gas flow passageway (290), the method comprising: flexing the diaphragm (220) to vary a size of the gap (225) to control the rate of liquid flowing through the orifice (245) or to provide a positive liquid shutoff of liquid from flowing through the orifice (245); characterised by providing a gas to flow at a velocity higher than approximately 20 meters/second through the gas flow passageway outlet (300) and flowing the gas through the gas outlet (300) in substantially the same direction as the liquid flowing through the liquid outlet (255) to reduce the size of liquid droplets formed at the outlet (255), wherein the outlet (255) is located downstream of the orifice (245) and in fluid communication therewith. |
