Abstract
A cap is disposed internally of a spray nozzle and effects active atomization of pressurized liquid flowing through the nozzle by mixing with compressed air and creating turbulence in the liquid during the flow. The nozzle includes an internal cap which cap which imparts significant turbulence on the flow through the nozzle serving to help atomize the liquid using a reduced amount of air energy. Different caps may be used to create various selected spray patterns.
