An air atomizing spray nozzle for spraying water at relatively low flow rates for household applications. The nozzle comprises a hollow body with a liquid passage for receiving pressurized liquid from an external source and a nozzle tip assembly. The latter includes a liquid spray tip connected to the liquid passage and having an elliptical discharge orifice formed by the intersection of a radiused end orifice bore and a cross slot communicating with the liquid impinge at an angle upon the discharge from the liquid spray tip to produce a relatively wide angle spray pattern of substantially uniform distribution and fine particle size. The 30 to 50 micron particle size is preferred although other sizes may also be used. The water encases the air which results in a droplet that enhances the showering experience while reducing the necessity for heating large volumes of water while saving water. |
