Classification of Nozzles Based on Jet Direction

The nozzles can be classified according to its spray directions: Tangential-flow Nozzles, Axial-flow Nozzles and Deflection-flow Nozzles.
 

1. Tangential-flow Nozzles

These nozzles use a tangential injection of liquid into a whirling chamber to generate centrifugal forces which break up the liquid vein as soon as it leaves the orifice. Precisely designed orifice profiles, making use of the Coanda effect, provides the ability to obtain very large spray angles.
 

Tangential-flow Nozzles: A/AA, A-W/AA-W Hollow Cone Nozzles
 

2. Axial-flow Nozzles

This is a simple type of nozzles, where an orifice is opened into a chamber where the liquid to be sprayed is fed under pressure. A spray is produced through the orifice with spray pattern, flow rate and spray angle depending upon the orifice edge profile and the design of the inside pressure chamber.
 

Axial-flow Nozzles: AB, AC, AD, AE Hollow Cone Nozzles, BA, BB, BC, BD, BF Full Cone Nozzles, CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CD, CF Flat Fan Nozzles
 

3. Deflection-flow Nozzles

These nozzles work on the deflection principle, by conveying a water vein onto a designed deflection surface to change liquid flow direction, and produce a jet with a desired spray angle to meet special application.
 

Deflection-flow Nozzles: CK, CP Flat Fan Nozzles, Spiral Nozzles, Impact Pin Mist Nozzles.
