Effective Moisture Control Requires Optimal Spray Nozzle Performance

Adding moisture to air without wetting – humidification – requires nozzles that produce very small drops that evaporate prior to hitting a surface. Reducing moisture – dehumidification – requires nozzles that produce small drops that can absorb the surrounding air or gas. Simple concepts but difficult to achieve. Drops that are just microns too big or microns too small can result in overwetting or poor absorption … and failing in moisture control.

To ensure optimal results in moisture control, it is important to have an extensive knowledge of atomization and drop size. And that’s where we come in. We can:

  • Assist with nozzle specification based on your operating parameters such as temperature, absorption distance, chemical additives in the spraying solution and gas composition
  • Provide drop size data
  • Conduct special testing

When it is time for a product solution, we have several fine spray hydraulic nozzles and air atomizing nozzles that produce drops in the 10 to 50 um range. Widely used solutions include our AirJet® Fogger spray nozzles, 1/4 J air atomizing nozzles and LN and N fine spray nozzles that produce a hollow cone spray pattern.

AirJet Fogger Spray Nozzles

AirJet® Fogger spray nozzles product high-quality, cost-efficient dry fog. Our 1/4J Series air atomizing nozzles are also widely used in humidification. The nozzles can be cycled on and off via a solenoid valve connected to the humidistat.

Fine Spray Hydraulic Nozzles

Fine spray hydraulic nozzles used the liquid pressure alone to produce very small drops.
