Axial
- Spray exits on the same axis it enters
- Internal channels or vanes causes the liquid to spin, and the centrifugal force exerted upon the geometry of the exit creates the spray pattern
- Spray is concentrated on outer edges
- Smaller droplets than full cone
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
- Spray is concentrated on outer edges
- Smaller droplets than full cone
