Abstract:
1. A liquid spray tip for discharging a controlled liquid spray distribution comprising: a spray tip body including an inlet end for connection to a pressurized liquid supply; said spray tip body including a first cylindrical fluid chamber having a first longitudinal axis; said spray tip body including a second cylindrical fluid chamber in fluid communication with the first fluid chamber and having a second longitudinal axis that extends transversely relative to the first longitudinal axis, said second chamber having closed ends at its opposite longitudinal ends, said spray body having a pre-orifice less than the diameter of said first and second chambers communicating between said first and second chambers, said spray tip body having a pair of discharge orifices communicating with said second chamber, said discharge orifices each having a downstream side with a deflector surface for directing liquid discharging from the second chamber, said discharge orifices each intersecting the second fluid chamber adjacent a respective end thereof so as to define a pocket extending beyond the deflector surface to the respective closed end of the second chamber, said discharge orifices each extending into said second chamber at least a distance corresponding to slightly less than the radius of said second chamber such that said deflector surface directs liquid from said second chamber with a controlled liquid spray distribution without prior air atomization of the supply liquid.
