The nozzle emits spray in a conical shape by dispersing liquid over the cone’s interior. When the spray meets with a surface, a circle of spray is created with liquid throughout, creating the full cone spray pattern.
There are two types of full cone nozzle designs.
Axial
- Spray exits on the same axis it enters
- Internal disc or vane causes the liquid to spin, and the centrifugal force exerted upon the geometry of the exit creates the spray pattern
- Wide flow ranges
- Large free passage
- Resistant to clogging
Tangential (Right Angle)
- Spray exits 90° from the entry axis
- Internal geometry creates the spray pattern by the liquid swirling around the body cavity before exiting the orifice
- Resistant to clogging
- Larger droplets than spiral
Examples of Why You Would Choose This Spray Pattern Over Others
If you are looking for even distribution over a packed-bed, a full cone nozzle pattern provides great coverage results.
Rain simulation and foam-control applications provide even distribution over specific surface areas using full cone nozzles.
The two MaxiPass nozzles are designed with an S vane for larger free passage, while the other full cone series utilize a disc with smaller areas that could trap particulates in the water.
