7.1.1.3. Compressed air consumption of jet nozzles


<BR>
When spraying, the medium must hit the workpiece with great kinetic energy i.e., with high speed. This is the only method that will achieve the desired result.

For this reason jet nozzles are designed for an extremely high exit speed of the compressed air. This leads to comparatively high consumption of compressed air.

The following table gives reference values for the compressed air consumption of jet nozzles depending on operating pressure and nozzle diameter:
