Abstract:Aiming to address issues such as low liquid utilization and severe environmental pollution in field spraying operations,a novel self-aspirating gas-liquid two-phase flow nozzle was designed. A single-factor controlled variable experiment was employed to analyze the effects of operating pressure,drive nozzle outlet diameter,suction inlet quantity,and V-groove cutting angle on spray performance. Experimental results indicated that increased pressure significantly enhanced nozzle flow rate,drift volume,and deposition rate,yet also led to a marked rise in drift potential,particularly under crosswind conditions. A pressure condition of 0.2 MPa achieved a favourable balance between deposition performance and drift control. The interaction between gas and liquid phases enhanced the deposition efficiency of sprayed liquids. The outlet diameter of the drive nozzle and the V-groove angle significantly influenced atomization performance. Both the spray angle and deposition rate were increased with large outlet diameters. With two air inlets,deposition was increased by 14.0% compared with that with single-phase flow nozzles. The spray angle reached its maximum at a V-groove angle of 20°,while a 15°angle exhibited optimal drift suppression performance. Through response surface experiments and multi-objective optimization,the optimal parameter combination for the nozzle was determined. At an operating pressure of 0.2 MPa,the spray angle reached 90.20° with a drift potential of merely 6.35%,achieving synergistic optimization of a wide spray angle and low drift potential. The research result can provide a solution for field spraying operations characterized by extensive coverage and minimal drift loss.
