Effectiveness of Water Jet Sprays in Cleaning and the Mechanisms for Disintegration

Abstract

Most water jet cleaning nozzles produce a fan-shaped jet. The limiting conditions under which this is effective are discussed, and illustrated. High speed photographs are used to show the very rapid disintegration of fan jets and the mechanism by which such disintegration occurs. The addition of heat to the water, to enhance removal of oil:grease layers is examined, as is the introduction of polymers into the jet stream. (A)
