Nozzle, low pressure

thingiverse

Various nozzles for low pressure watering (estimated at 0.5 - 1.0 bar). Hose connection is barbed and designed for 10 mm hose (inner diameter). The objective was to create a nozzle that is able to water my plants from 0.6 m above. * Wide coverage (0.36 m2). * Soft water droplets. * High waterflow. * Funtion properly with a low pressure (12vdc pump). Through testing i have learned and used the following: The nozzle is build out of 3 integrated nozzles with 3 features. These integrated nozzles come together at a specific distance and angle and tip diameter, This creates a colision and breaks the waterstream in droplets. * Distance: sloped pressure build up and a directed stream. * Angle: sets the spray area, smaller angle is a wider spray area. * Diameter: sets the exit pressure, this controls the droplet size most. Creating a water mist is possible with these nozzles by using a higher pressure pump.
