ITW Vortec’s Sprayvectors® provide ultra-fine droplet sized sprays for evaporative cooling, moisturization, atomization and humidification. Superior to conventional hydraulic and piezoelectric nozzles, they produce defined spray patterns that can be widely diffused or directed. By use of compressed air, these liquid atomizing devices create micron and sub-micron sized spray droplets. This ultra-fine spray produces greater surface coverage than conventional nozzles. With more efficient use of liquid, Sprayvectors accelerate air-liquid interaction providing effective cooling, humidifying and dust control.
Sprayvectors® introduce 2-20 PSIG (0.14-1.4 Bar) filtered liquids through a 1/4” NPT port. They can spray liquids with viscosities up to 1100 CPS for fogging and atomizing applications. Liquids with viscosities up to 100 CSP are suitable for humidifying. Large internal passages eliminate clogging. Precise adjustable flow rates of 6-30 GPH (22.7-113.6 LPH) can be controlled with a knob. External mixing of fluids and compressed air permits delivery of a dense, directable, high velocity spray by using Atomizing and Fogging Sprayvectors or a diffused low velocity spray using Humidifying Sprayvectors. Dry compressed air up to 100 PSIG (6.9 Bar) and airflows of only 12 SCFM (339.6 SLPM) atomize fluids to produce droplet sizes of 20-200 microns.

The Transvector® amplification principle of our nozzle design is the basis for the Sprayvector’s effective atomizing capability. Sprayvectors atomize liquids externally when a small amount of liquid is discharged into a stream of amplified compressed air moving at sonic velocity. Liquid is sheared by this high speed airstream into fine droplets as entrainment of large volumes of additional surrounding air occurs. The precise and powerful airflow results in a dense and very controllable spray of micron and submicron sized droplets.
