Swirl-Air™ Nozzles

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Delavan Spray Technologies introduces the Swirl-Air® range of nozzles, leveraging aerospace technology for efficient liquid atomization at low pressures. Initially designed for evaporative cooling and combustion, these nozzles are now applicable in diverse industries such as food and steel production.
Specifications and Design
The Swirl-Air® nozzles are available in right angle and in-line configurations, constructed from materials like 316L and 440 Stainless Steel, with options for Hastelloy C276 and Inconel 600. The right angle design allows side air entry and back liquid entry, while the in-line design uses concentric piping.
Advantages
  • Accommodates coarse particles with large fluid passages.
  • Unobstructed spray pattern due to the absence of external struts.
  • Interchangeable nozzle caps for different spray angles.
  • Efficient atomization with minimal air consumption.
  • Adjustable droplet size with slight pressure changes.
Applications
  • Gas cooling and conditioning
  • Humidification
  • Coating applications
  • Furnace temperature control
  • Spray drying and process control
  • Combustion and dust suppression
  • Odor control and sanitation
  • Special effects and fire protection systems
Technical Data
Nozzles are available in sizes supporting flow rates from 1-2400 GPH and spray angles from 50° to 100°. They achieve fine atomization with droplet diameters of 50-100 microns at low pressures, customizable for specific needs.
Installation and Operation
Installation involves air and fluid inlets with regulating and shut-off valves. The design introduces liquid axially and air tangentially, creating turbulence for efficient atomization and consistent spray quality.
Flow Rates and Air Pressures
Tables in the document show the relationship between air pressure and flow rates, with examples like a flow rate of 0.2 USGPM at 30 PSI and 1 USGPM at 100 PSI. Similar data is provided for BAR measurements.
Droplet Size Charts
Charts estimate the Sauter Mean Diameter of droplets at various flow rates and air pressures, aiding in understanding nozzle spray characteristics.
Product Features
Delavan offers engineered support for spray lances, including cooled or heated lances, special mounting flanges, and by-pass or purge systems, from preliminary design to servicing.
