…the drop size. Spray drying and spray painting are the most important and common uses of this technology. They can also be automatic. This type of spray nozzle utilizes high frequency (20–180 kHz) vibration to produce narrow drop-size distribution and low velocity spray from a liquid. The vibration of a…
