DESIGN FEATURES

The original spiral nozzle invented by BETE

Also referred to as pigtail nozzles, corkscrew nozzles, or helix nozzles

High energy efficiency

One-piece/no internal parts

Clog-resistant performance

High discharge velocity

Commonly used for quenching, scrubbing, and evaporative cooling

HOW SPRAY PATTERN IS ACHIEVED

The spray pattern of the spiral nozzle is formed by the fluid shearing along with the turns of the spiral, which produce multiple concentric cones. These cones form two to three bands of relatively coarse droplets surrounded by wider bands of relatively fine droplets

Produces the smallest droplet size compared to whirl nozzles of the same flow and pressure drop for fine atomization
