The new patented swirl pressure nozzle has a ceramic insert with tangential water inlets. This ceramic component is the key to a nozzle that exhibits highly reproducible accuracy and a long service life without loss of performance or droplet characteristics.

A key to the performance of any fogging system is the size of the droplets created by the system.
Only a droplet that evaporates completely will provide the full potential cooling effect and therefore the maximum increase in output.

If the droplets are too large, as in other systems, complete evaporation will not be achieved and they may also impinge upon the compressor blades which could lead to erosion.

The AxEnergy engineers have developed a new generation nozzle for the fog system that provides a water droplet spectrum with a characteristic diameter in the range of 20 mµ (microns) – measured on the Dv 0.9 scale.

Studies have shown that water droplets of this size tend to follow the air stream and consequently avoid impingement on the compressor blades.

The nozzle for atomizing the water is therefore the heart of the fog system from AxEnergy.
