Abstract

A spray device, useful for example as a fuel nozzle for gas turbine engines, comprises a body having a bore and a cap member having an orifice, the body and cap member in combination defining a chamber. Fluid passages introduce pressurized liquid into the chamber and direct a flow into the bore, thereby causing a spinning flow to be forced out through the orifice.
