Back Cover Noise Reduction & Cost Savings WindJet® Air Products Improve Process Control Our air products convert a low-pressure volume of compressed air into a targeted, high-velocity concentrated stream, flat fan or curtain of high-impact air. This creates a better quality air pattern than open pipes, drilled holes, and many other air nozzles. That means dependable, repeatable performance that can improve your process. Reduce Noise Noise from compressed air is one of the biggest environmental hazards in the workplace today. Using air products can reduce the perceived noise from compressed air by more than 50 percent. The table below provides an example of potential noise reduction from WindJet 707 or 727 nozzles. For actual noise levels on each product see the sound level chart on page 6.

A properly designed and maintained air system can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year in operating expenses. So in addition to improving your processes and making your work place quieter, air nozzles can pay back their cost many times over. The following tables focus on three primary areas: impact, capacity and coverage. Each table summarizes the potential savings by reducing air consumption, using various WindJet air products featured in this catalog. It’s important to note that each of these tables single out specific, but very common, problem areas. Your application may require a combination of one or more of these to operate at a lower cost and higher efficiencies, while maintaining the proper blow-off and drying requirements for your product. Your local Spraying Systems Co. sales engineer can assist you in designing a system that addresses all of your requirements. 1.800.95.SPRAY | Intl. 1.630.665.5000 | www.spray.com Noise Reduction & Cost Savings WindJet® Air Products WindJet Nozzles Cost Savings Open Pipe Size Air Consumption scfm (Nl/min) Equivalent Impact Using 707 or 727 WindJet Nozzles Air Consumption Reduction % Annual Air Cost Savings ** 5/32” (4 mm) 19 (538) 1 25% $593 1/4” (6 mm) 41 (1161) 2 28% $1,432 5/16” (8 mm) 94 (2662) 4 33% $3,872 3/8” (10 mm) 118 (3341) 7 20% $2,945 1/2” (12 mm) 177 (5012) 7 35% $7,731 5/8” (16 mm) 309 (8750) 12 36% $13,833 No. 57070 — WindJet Low-Flow Air Knives Cost Savings Open Pipe/Drilled Holes in Pipe* Equivalent Coverage Using Low-Flow Air Knives Quantity Size Air Consumption scfm (Nl/min) 3 5/32” (4 mm) 57 (1614) 1 (57070-3) 6 5/32” (4 mm) 114 (3228) 1 (57070-6) 12 5/32” (4 mm) 228 (6456) 1 (57070-12) 18 5/32” (4 mm) 342 (9684) 1 (57070-18) 6 1/4” (6 mm) 246 (6966) 1 (57070-6) 12 1/4” (6 mm) 492 (13932) 1 (57070-12) Air Consumption Reduction % Annual Air Cost Savings ** $6,544 $13,090 92% $26,178 $39,268 89% $27,324 $54,648 No. 57080 — WindJet Air Amplifiers Cost Savings Open Pipe Size Air Consumption scfm (Nl/min) Equivalent Capacity Using Air Amplifiers Air Consumption Reduction % Annual Air Cost Savings ** 5/32” (4 mm) 19 (538) 1 (57080-075) 78% $1,851 1/4” (6 mm) 41 (1161) 1 (57080-075) 86% $4,398 5/16” (8 mm) 94 (2662) 1 (57080-125) 87% $10,206 3/8” (10 mm) 118 (3341) 1 (57080-125) 89% $13,106 1/2” (12 mm) 177 (5012) 1 (57080-200) 89% $19,660 5/8” (16 mm) 309 (8750) 1 (57080-400) 90% $34,708 * Spaced at 1” intervals. ** Based on a sixteen-hour, five-day work week, with operating cost of $0.50 USD per 1000 cubic feet of air. 1.800.95.SPRAY | Intl. 1.630.665.5000 | www.spray.com Technical Data Key Considerations for Selecting WindJet® Air Nozzles There are four main characteristics that should be considered when selecting an air nozzle. They are effective spray coverage, sound level, lineal impact force, and specific impact force. Each characteristic plays a role in choosing the most effective nozzle for a given application. Effective Spray Coverage Effective Spray Coverage at 40 psig (2.8 bar) Selected Air Nozzles Spray Coverage Spray coverage is described as the width of the spray pattern for a flat fan air nozzle. Effective spray coverage is the width of the fan, which comprises a minimum spray force measurement. This coverage can be used as a guide for spacing nozzles. Effective spray coverage varies for different types of air nozzles. The graph shows a selected variety from each of the families. While effective coverage is relatively consistent above 40 psig (2.8 bar), it may decrease at lower pressures. In general, effective coverage increases as distance from the nozzle increases. mm inches 760 30 640 25 510 20 380 15 250 10 130 5 0 0 3/8TT "U" Nozzle 1/4K 2 FloodJet® Nozzle 1/4K 20 FloodJet Nozzle AA727-15 WindJet® Nozzle 57080-2 Air Amplifier (2" Outlet Dia.) 0 0 5 130 10 250 20 510 25 640 30 inches 760 mm Distance from Orifice Sound Level Sound Level at 3 feet (0.9 m) Selected Air Products dB(A) 100 90 Sound Level Capacity and nozzle design both affect noise levels. In general, higher flow rates increase noise levels. Other factors include air pressure and obstructions in the nozzle’s path. Sound level tests shown on the accompanying graph were conducted by blowing into an open space with no reverberation. Spraying the nozzle against objects will increase sound levels. 15 380 80 70 60 50 0 0 10 0.7 20 1.4 30 2.1 40 2.8 50 3.5 60 4.1 70 4.8 80 5.5 90 6.2 100 psig 6.9 bar Pressure AA727-15 WindJet Nozzle AA707-15 WindJet Nozzle 3/8TT "U" Nozzle 1/4K 20 FloodJet Nozzle 57070-12 Low Flow Air Knife (12" long) 57080-2 Air Amplifier 1.800.95.SPRAY | Intl. 1.630.665.5000 | www.spray.com Technical Data Lineal and Specific Impact Force kg/cm lb/in 0.100 0.56 0.080 0.45 0.060 0.34 0.040 0.22 0.020 0.11 0.000 0 Lineal Impact at 40 psig (2.8 bar) Selected Air Products AA727-15 WindJet® Nozzle 3/8TT "Q" Blow-off Nozzle 3/8TT "U" Blow-off Nozzle 3/8TT "V" Blow-off Nozzle 57070-12 Low Flow Air Knife 57080-2 Air Amplifier 0 0 5 130 10 250 15 380 20 510 25 640 30 inches 760 mm Distance from Orifice Maximum Specific Impact at 40 psig (2.8 bar) Selected Air Nozzles kPa psig 6.9 1.0 Specific Impact Lineal Impact There are two types of impact to consider when selecting air control nozzles: lineal impact and maximum specific impact. Both lineal and specific impact increase with pressure. When capacities are the same, a nozzle with a smaller coverage will have greater impact than one with a wider coverage. Lineal impact indicates relative force per unit distance across the spray width. Flat spray patterns have fairly uniform impact distribution across the effective spray coverage. Spacing of nozzles in a header according to the effective spray coverage will provide consistent lineal impact across the entire length of the target surface. Maximum specific impact is a direct indication of spray intensity applied to a surface. It provides maximum force per unit area information, which can be used to compare spray effectiveness under various conditions. 5.5 0.8 4.1 0.6 2.8 0.4 1.4 0.2 0.0 0.0 0 0 5 130 10 250 15 380 20 inches 510 mm Distance from Orifice AA727-15 WindJet Nozzle AA707-15 WindJet Nozzle 1/4K 20 FloodJet® Nozzle 3/8TT "U" Blow-off Nozzle 57070-12 Low Flow Air Knife 57080-2 Air Amplifier Air Flow Through Schedule 40 Steel Pipe Applied Pressure psig (bar) 1/8” 1/4” 3/8” 1/2” 3/4” 1” 1-1/4” 1-1/2” 2” 2-1/2” 3” 5 (.3) .5 (.85) 1.2 (2.0) 2.7 (4.6) 4.9 (8.3) 6.6 (11.2) 13 (22) 27 (46) 40 (68) 80 (136) 135 (229) 240 (408) 10 (.7) .8 (1.4) 1.7 (2.9) 3.9 (6.6) 7.7 (13.1) 11.0 (18.7) 21 (36) 44 (75) 64 (109) 125 (212) 200 (340) 370 (628) 20 (1.4) 1.3 (2.2) 3.0 (5.1) 6.6 (11.2) 13.0 (22) 18.5 (31) 35 (59) 75 (127) 110 (187) 215 (365) 350 (594) 600 (1019) 40 (2.8) 2.5 (4.2) 5.5 (9.3) 12.0 (20) 23.0 (39) 34.0 (58) 62 (105) 135 (229) 200 (340) 385 (654) 640 (1087) 1100 (1868) 60 (4.1) 3.5 (5.9) 8.0 (13.6) 18.0 (31) 34.0 (58) 50.0 (85) 93 (158) 195 (331) 290 (492) 560 (951) 900 (1528) 1600 (2717) 80 (5.5) 4.7 (8.0) 10.5 (17.8) 23.0 (39) 44.0 (75) 65.0 (110) 120 (204) 255 (433) 380 (645) 720 (1223) 1200 (2038) 2100 (3566) 100 (6.9) 5.8 (9.8) 13.0 (22) 29.0 (49) 54.0 (92) 80.0 (136) 150 (255) 315 (535) 470 (798) 900 (1528) 1450 (2462) 2600 (4415) Nominal Standard Pipe Size scfm (Nl/min) 1.800.95.SPRAY | Intl. 1.630.665.5000 | www.spray.com WindJet® Air Nozzles AA727, AA707, Y767 WindJet Nozzles AA727 Features and Benefits • Generates efficient, controlled flat fan air pattern for a uniform spray distribution • Designed to maintain spray pattern integrity • Available in materials that withstand high temperatures • Recessed orifices protect against external damage and offers air escape should the nozzles accidentally be placed against a flat surface • Low noise levels • Can be mounted side-by-side for air curtain applications Specifications 3/16” (4.8 mm) diameter mounting hole for fixed positioning Inlet connection: 1/4” NPT(M) or BSPT(M), or 1/4” NPT(F) ABS model only Materials: ABS, PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), aluminum or stainless steel Weight: ABS – 0.7 oz (20 g), PPS – 1.0 oz (28 g), aluminum – 2 oz (56 g), stainless steel – 4.1 oz (116 g) Maximum operating pressures: ABS – 100 psi at 170° F (7 bar at 77° C) PPS – 100 psi at 180° F (7 bar at 82° C) Aluminum – 100 psi at 450° F (7 bar at 230° C) Stainless steel – 150 psi at 500° F (10.3 bar at 260° C) AA707 Features and Benefits • Produces tightly directed round spray pattern • Low noise levels • Color-coded aluminum caps for easy identification of flow rates • Recessed orifices Specifications Color-coded by capacity (aluminum only) Inlet connection: 1/4” NPT(M) or BSPT(M), or 1/4” NPT(F) ABS model only Materials: ABS, PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), Kynar, aluminum or stainless steel Weight: ABS – 0.3 oz (9 g), PPS – 0.5 oz (14 g), Kynar – 0.5 oz (14 g), aluminum – 0.6 oz (16 g), stainless steel – 1.6 oz (44 g) Maximum operating pressures: ABS – 125 psi at 180° F (8.6 bar at 82° C) PPS – 125 psi at 400° F (8.6 bar at 204° C) Kynar® – 125 psi at 220° F (8.6 bar at 104° C) Aluminum – 125 psi at 450° F (8.6 bar at 230° C) Stainless steel – 125 psi at 450° F (8.6 bar at 230° C) Y767 Compact Nozzle Features and Benefits • Short profile – less than half the height of other air nozzles • When installing multiple nozzles on a header, a uniform impact air stream is provided without lowering pressure • Low noise levels Specifications Inlet connection: 1/4” NPT (M) or BSPT (M) Material: ABS Maximum operating pressures: 100 psi at 180° F (7 bar at 82° C) Weight: .25 oz (7 g) 1.800.95.SPRAY | Intl. 1.630.665.5000 | www.spray.com WindJet® Air Nozzles AA727, AA707, Y767 Typical Applications • Dust and particle blow-off • Liquid blow-off • Leveling coatings • Cooling Nozzles/adapters to smooth out clay coating • Drying Performance Data Inlet Conn.
