6.1 NOZZLE OVERVIEW
ELECTROSTATIC CHAIN OILER SPRAY NOZZLE
The Electrostatic Chain Oiler Spray Nozzle delivers the electrostatically charged fluid to the target. Using the spray
control panel, operators can adjust the voltage level applied to all nozzles that are connected to that panel. Each
nozzle is connected to its own individual piston pump, which allows for some independent adjustment of pump flow
rate.
The nozzle tip should be able to be adjusted to between
1/2”
to
1”
away from the target to allow for electrostatic
spray fine tuning. This can affect the electrostatic spray at each nozzle, and allows for process
-
specific customization
of spray capacity, spray pattern, and electrostatic droplet size.
The Chain Oiler Spray Nozzle is a versatile and compact electrostatic single
-
orifice nozzle. Operators can adjust the
applied voltage and fluid flow rate to all Chain Oiler Nozzles in use with the spray control panel and the fluid delivery
system.
MOUNTING
•
The Chain Oiler Nozzle includes a 7/8 in. 20UNEF
-
2A thread for mounting
•
The nozzle must be mounted in a clean, non
-
hazardous area
•
The nozzle must be mounted in a location where the chain is extremely steady
—
Any movement of the chain could cause an arc or damage the nozzle tip
•
The spray target must be properly grounded
•
The ground wire should go directly to an earth ground as defined by local electrical codes.
ATTENTION: Nothing metallic or conductive, except for the target, should be within a 8 in.
envelope of the nozzle. Any mounting fixtures should be made of nonconductive materials.
The nozzle mounting scheme should allow for as many degrees of nozzle movement as possible. This allows for easier
fine tuning and adjustment of the electrostatic spray.
The nozzle should be able to move so that the nozzle tip can be positioned between 1/2 in. to 1 in. away from the
target.
MOUNTING BRACKET
The mounting bracket is compatible with the nozzle mounting threads and includes two 0.270 in. (6.9 mm) slots.
