Techniques for Spray Production Using Different Nozzles
Atomizing spray has many applications for industrial, agricultural, food production, and other purposes. There are a number of techniques that can be used to produce a spray with the strength and consistency needed for all of these purposes. The advantage of using an atomizing spray with the correct nozzle is that the droplets produced usually result in more uniform coverage, and in most situations uniform distribution of the substance that is being sprayed is vital to the success of the operation.
Types of Nozzles
Using the wrong nozzle can mean waste and sometimes degradation of the product. Too much moisture can mean big trouble in some situations. Imagine the difference between a piece of cardboard being lightly misted and being deluged with a strong stream of water. The cardboard would obviously be damaged or destroyed by too much water. Basically, there are different nozzles for different jobs. The nozzle determines the shape and to some extent the force of the liquid released. Four different kinds of nozzles are simple pressure, impact, air assisted, and turbulence.
The Simple Pressure Nozzle
The simple pressure nozzle is a nozzle produced by a spray being forced through an opening. The spray pattern is created and formed by the rate of flow and the design of the opening. Flat jet nozzles are one example of the pressure nozzle.
The Impact Nozzle
The impact version forces the liquid out of the nozzle and causes it to hit a special surface. This impact changes the liquid jet into fluid that breaks into drops.
The Air Assisted Atomizer
Atomizers can create sprays and mists in different patterns for various purposes. Atomizers are generally used to moisten a product or area with water or oil or to distribute chemicals for agricultural uses.
The Turbulence Nozzle
The turbulence variant moves liquid to right before the opening where rotation speeds it up with centrifugal force. These nozzles can be a hollow cone spray that covers the outside surface or a full cone spray that fills the whole cone with spray.
