Misting Nozzles

Misting Nozzles

Our industry-standard mist nozzles are precision engineered to produce a high percentage of smaller than 15-20-micron sized droplets at higher pressure ranges in a cone-shaped spray. All stainless steel orifices and pins. Bodies in brass, stainless steel.

The nozzles’ ability for better atomization effectively evaporates their output even in climates with fairly high relative humidity.

CLEANABLE ANTI-DRIP BRASS / SS MIST NOZZLES:

These cleanable mist nozzles are available in sizes from 0.10mm to 1.00 orifices. All cleanable nozzles include an anti-drip adapter, S S Impeller Pin, Filters. This range is available in brass with a stainless steel orifice or all stainless steel design. Flow rates vary from 0.050 LPM to 0.165mm with spray patterns from 45 degrees to 85 degrees. Larger orifice sizes and different threads are also available as special order items.

Humidification nozzles

Features:

• Brass Body / Stainless Steel Body
• Brass Orifice / S S Orifice / Ceramic Orifice Portion
• Anti-drip, Stainless Steel Impeller Pin,
• Thread Size 10/24 UNC.

Misting systems are used to cool outdoor spaces in all sorts of industries and for all kinds of purposes. They are used to ensure comfort of visitors in public venues and commercial establishments, and they are also used in industrial plants and for agriculture applications. One of the most important components of a cooling system is the misting nozzle. All misting systems are comprised of a series of nozzles placed in a line.

When attached to high-pressure pumps, water is forced through nozzles, forming droplets which evaporate into mist when they reach the outdoor air. This can reduce the temperatures by 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If the misting system is in a confined indoor area, it will provide a cool mist but will also increase humidity.

Types of Misting System Nozzles

Nozzles come in two varieties: impeller and impingement. Impeller nozzles are most commonly used for residential and commercial applications. They use barrel-shaped rotors to control water flow and pressure. The water is reduced to tiny drops which burst through the openings, creating tiny droplets that form a cooling mist. Impingement nozzles produce a straighter stream of water and are typically only used for specialty applications.

Cleaning Misting System Nozzles

There are cleanable and non-cleanable impeller mister nozzles. The cleanable nozzle has an impeller that can be removed from the nozzle in order to flush the system with cleaning solution, which unplugs blocked orifices. These nozzles are also equipped with a special piece that ensures it does not drip every time it is turned off. Non-cleanable nozzles cannot be taken apart to clean, so they do not usually last as long.

Misting Nozzle Sizes:

.006″/.15mm Nozzle:

The smallest standard nozzle orifice available. At 1,000 psi, the mean diameter of the droplets from this size orifice are 12.2μ with droplets ranging from 1.2μ to 36.4μ and a spray diameter of approximately 45 degrees. The .006″/.15mm misting nozzle is ideal for applications requiring extremely low flow with small droplet size and minimal moisture. It is most commonly used for humidification applications. This nozzle is not designed to be used at pressures below 500 psi.

.008″/.20mm Nozzle:

The next-smallest standard nozzle orifice available. At 1,000 psi, the mean diameter of the droplets from this size orifice are 12.7μ with droplets ranging from 1.4μ to 37.9μ and a spray diameter of between 60 and 65 degrees. The .008″/.20mm misting nozzle is ideal for applications requiring low flow with small droplet size and limited moisture. It is most commonly used for humidification and cooling applications. This nozzle is not designed to be used at pressures below 250 psi.

.012″/.30mm Nozzle:

The medium-sized standard nozzle orifice. At 1,000 psi, the mean diameter of the droplets from this size orifice are 13.1μ with droplets ranging from 1.6μ to 39.1μ and a spray diameter of between 65 and 75 degrees. The .012″/.30mm misting nozzle is ideal for applications requiring moderate flow with small droplet size. It has a similar performance to the .008″/.20mm orifice nozzle with an increased flow rate. It is most commonly used for outdoor cooling and odor/dust control applications. This nozzle can be used with any pressures above 100 psi.
