Spray Nozzles

PRODUCTS

  • Analyzing bacteria concentrations without any pre-processing.

  • Oral administration remains the most widely used route for the successful delivery of active pharmaceuticals to patients.

  • Energy costs are a major concern in data center cooling systems, with cooling accounting for up to 40% of total energy consumption. Efficient temperature measurement and control are crucial to minimizing these costs and ensuring the smooth operation of servers and equipment. Accurate temperature data helps prevent overheating, optimize cooling systems, and reduce energy usage, thereby maintaining equipment reliability and lowering operational costs.

  • Go from assay to insights quickly and reliably with ImageXpress imaging systems and IN Carta software.

  • The LightIR thermal imaging zoom lenses are lightweight, compact, and high-performance, designed for a range of reduced SWaP applications, including UAVs, aircraft vision systems, drones, and more.

ABOUT

Spray Nozzles
Spray nozzles are a conceptually simple device with a very important purpose in the petrochemical industry. While designs are rarely the same, they operate under the same concepts. A spray nozzle disperses contents that are under pressure in a more even manner than otherwise possible. Sometimes they are used for the purpose if increasing the surface area of a desired liquid substance.
The head of the spray nozzle consists of several flow or drip points that will determine how fine the mist that emerges will be. The more flow points there are, the finer the mist will be. However, flow points are not the only factor. The pressure put on the spray nozzle will greatly affect the stream of mist. Depending on the usage, the function may require a low flow rate or a high flow rate.
Uses in the petrochemical industry usually include injecting additives to the product, creating a fire protection and prevention system for the plant, and cooling systems.  They can also be used for gas scrubbing, which is the process of removing any contaminants that the oil may have accumulated during the refinement process.
Materials used to make petrochemical spray nozzles are often alloyed with other metals to ensure that they provide the correct weight, performance, and durability required by the refinery. Common metal alloys used are brass and stainless steel.
Petrochemical spray nozzles are crucial to the refining process.
