Preface
My desire is to provide knowledge so a person can develop an
understanding of a specific subject in sufficient depth and breadth to
solve a problem. The writing for the book began after teaching a spray
technology course for spray practitioners. The content provides an
overview of available technologies, practical design considerations,
and the fundamentals. Emphasis is on the application to resolve
common design problems. One objective was to format the book so a
user can rapidly find information useful in solving problems. Example
calculations and qualitative application comments provide engineering
insight. These examples show the specifics of how to apply an equation
to solve a problem. Today’s increasing demands and shorter time-lines
require managers and engineers to solve problems expeditiously. All
photographs and illustrations, including the design of the book cover,
were created by the author to achieve clarity and consistency.

My background of more than 35 years as an industrial problem


solver taught me that solutions that work in the long term must consider
the influence of the systems surrounding the atomizer. Selecting the
most appropriate nozzle is a critical aspect but only the beginning.
The optimum design of spray systems is sensitive to energy cost and
requires high reliability. The increasing need for highly reliable
designs is critical to many applications and significantly impacts
the preferred system design. A successful design often considers
and evaluates systematically the potential failure modes. Reliable
designs also require the proper feed and control systems to yield the
optimized result. System considerations can greatly influence the
spray technology selected. Operational and system design issues are
critical to the application for most users; consequently three chapters
are devoted to this subject. These complement the spray nozzle
manufacturers’ web based nozzle selection tools.
Structure of Chapters
This book has five sections as outlined in the table below. Readers are
encouraged to use the sections that fit their problem solving needs.
