Square Vs. Circle Pattern
SpinFree Nozzle Features
The industry has strived for decades to develop a nozzle that would produce a hydraulically balanced square water pattern and they have achieved very limited success. There are several nozzles on the market that claim a square water pattern, but even the best only have a visual look of square. When you analyze the water loading of these nozzle you will see that they are quite lacking.
The SpinFree nozzle’s innovative spinning turbine coupled with the square geometry in the nozzle head has for the first time in the industry produced a perfect water loading in a square configuration. Why is this square pattern so important? Existing nozzle have a very erratic water pattern plagued with voids and uneven water loading. When this erratic pattern is dispersed onto the fill media the flowing air will migrate to the low water loading and voids area. In effect these low water loading and void area are little chimneys for the air to escape doing little or no work.
Just as important as a square water pattern with even water loading is how does multiple nozzles interact with each other. In other words what is the water loading at the premier of the nozzle water pattern where the pattern of (4) nozzle converge. The water loading of the SpinFree nozzle is reduced to 50% on the outer 6” premier of the nozzle. This allows for full flow where two or more nozzles overlap and converge. No other nozzle on the market has been able to reduce the outer premier flow to accommodate the overlap of the nozzles. The square water pattern with the outer 6”perimeter being reduced to 50% flow produces balanced water loading in the whole tower increasing thermal performance by 10% to 12%. The customer can utilize this increased performance to produce colder water or reduce energy to maintain the original performance.
