6.4 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS

6.4.1 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH STACKED TIPS

Turbulence though
Monsoon Monitor is very low
but stream quality and reach
can be improved with the use of
the integral stream straightener
on the TFT stacked tip nozzle
(YST-4NN). See fi gure 6.4 for
the stacked tip's integral stream
straightener friction loss.

6.4.2 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH FOG NOZZLES

When using a fog nozzle it is
recommended that no stream
straightener be used since the
fog nozzle's fl ow path generally
serves as a stream straightener.
Use of a stream straightener
with a fog nozzle will increase
the stresses on the monitor's
gear train and may lead to
premature wear.
