Syphon Type Atomizing Nozzles are a specific type of spray nozzle that utilizes the principle of siphon action to create a fine spray of liquid.
How they work:
Siphon Action: The nozzle incorporates a siphon tube or chamber. When the nozzle is placed in a liquid reservoir, the liquid rises in the siphon tube due to atmospheric pressure and the reduction in pressure within the tube.
Liquid Flow: The liquid flows through the siphon tube and into the nozzle's orifice.
Atomization: Depending on the nozzle design, the liquid is then atomized into a fine mist. This can be achieved through various mechanisms, such as:
Air-Assisted Atomization: Compressed air is introduced to the liquid stream within the nozzle, breaking it down into small droplets.
Shear Force Atomization: The liquid is forced through a narrow orifice at high velocity, creating shear forces that break it into droplets.
Key Characteristics:
Self-Priming: Syphon action allows the nozzle to self-prime, eliminating the need for external priming.
Simple Design: Relatively simple construction, making them easy to manufacture and maintain.
Versatility: Can be used with a variety of liquids.
Applications: Commonly used in applications such as:
Chemical Processing: Spraying reagents, mixing chemicals.
Cleaning: Cleaning surfaces with liquids.
Laboratory Applications: Dispensing and mixing reagents.
Advantages:
Self-Priming: Eliminates the need for external priming mechanisms.
Relatively Simple Design: Easy to manufacture and maintain.
Considerations:
Clogging: Can be prone to clogging, especially with viscous liquids or those containing solids.
Siphon Breakage: The siphon action can be disrupted if the liquid level in the reservoir drops below the level of the siphon tube.
Limited Control: May have limited control over droplet size and spray pattern compared to other atomizing nozzles.
