Droplet size and velocity are key characteristics of industrial sprays and represent the quantifiable characteristics that enable the optimisation of the conditions used to generate the spray for the specific application.
This enables an increased economic efficiency of the process as well as the improved physical performance of the spray.
There are a large variety of industrial applications that utilise sprays with various drop size distributions and velocity profiles. These include gas scrubbing and quenching, cleaning/ washing, surface pre-treatment, dust suppression, moistening, lubrication, mixing/agitation, coating, and cooling for example. The size and velocity of the characteristics of the spray define the volume flux of the spray and as a result the efficiency of the spray for the various applications. The optimisation of the droplet size distribution can provide large economic advantages for industrial applications such as cleaning through the reduction in the volume of water used in the cleaning process.
