Air nozzles

In principle any of our hyrdaulic nozzles can be used to deliver air or steam. But, because of the very different properties of air and fluids, other specially designed air nozzles are perferable in many applications. 

Standard air nozzles

These cone shaped nozzles are used to direct the compressed air flow into a jet.  The motion of the air causes the surrounding air to be entrained thus increasing the overall amount of air moved.  This air movement amplification is relatively small when compared to other more advanced designs of air nozzles.  This means that the overall force produced by these nozzles is quite low which makes them suitable for cooling applications

The the addition of fins on the outside of the nozzles dramatically improves the entrainment of the surrounding air.  This serves to increase the force produced by these nozzles so that for any given compressed air flow through the nozzle more impact is delievered.   An additional benefit is a signifcant reduction in noise from the nozzle

A- Compressed air enters the nozzle
B- Surrounding air is entrained
C- Resulting air flow is greatly amplified
