Abstract
ABSTRACT THE lack of applied and fundamental information on spray cleaning has retarded improvements in performance. The performance of five nozzles with differing characteristics was examined in detail, using cold water as the sprayed liquid. The spatial distributions of spray volume and cleaning efficiency were determined. The effects on cleaning efficiency of the temperature, time, angle and distance of spraying, and also intermittent spraying were examined. The data were used to select nozzles for cleaning dairy equipment. Substantially more effective nozzles than those currently used were identified; these were flat-fan type nozzles of medium to high flow rates. Recommendtions are made concerning choice of nozzles and improvement of design for spray cleaning systems.
