Abstract
A nozzle and method for generating a flat spray discharge having substantially large droplets of liquid therein, wherein the liquid is jetted from an orifice against an impingement partition plate to cause it to become extremely turbulent in a gas free turbulence chamber defined between the orifice and the partition plate. This substantially gas free, turbulent liquid is then flowed around the impingement partition plate to a second chamber and is discharged from an elliptical discharge orifice at the end of the second chamber to produce a flat spray discharge having substantially large droplets of liquid therein.
