Ikeuchi - Hollow Cone Spray Pattern Nozzles

A distinguishing criterion of the above-mentioned categories of hollow cone spray pattern nozzles is the mean droplet diameter size. The droplet diameter of a nozzle will influence the pattern of spraying and the type of application for which this nozzle will be applicable to.

In the case of the fine fog nozzles, they provide a spraying capability of fine atomization. The semi-fine fog nozzles have a larger mean droplet diameter than the fine fog nozzles and, as their name describe them, are spraying a semi-fine fog.

On the other hand, the light rain nozzles can spray the largest droplets. Based on their differential characteristics, they are able to suit other specific applications, such as cooling within the production of metal.

Another characteristic of the light rain nozzle is the fact that they have a higher spray capacity, as compared to the other 2  categories of hollow cone spray nozzles.

Although the hollow cone spray nozzles can spray fine fog, they do not require a compressor, or compressed air, as in the case of the pneumatic nozzles. This might come in handy when it is required to spray a fine atomization and the installation does not have or require a compressor. By doing so, the installation process is easier to implement, and it is energy and cost saving, as a compressor requires electricity. However, for certain applications such as cooling, and where a large number of nozzles are required, variable frequency drives or variable speed drives can assit for a better control. These drives are suitable for cooling, as you can adjust the mist output flow according to your cooling need.
