Orion K-Series tank cooling nozzles are designed to apply cooling water efficiently to flat surfaces such as large flammable liquid storage tanks and ship's super structure. The nozzles produce a flat, wide angle spray pattern that can efficiently apply water with very little water lost due to wind effects. Orion K Series tank cooling nozzles are manufactured in Gunmetal (other materials are also available) and have 15mm BSP Male inlet threads for nozzles with K-Factor up to 5.2 (litres per minute & kPa). Larger K-Factor nozzles (K-Factor up to 12) have a 20mm BSP Male inlet thread. Nozzles are available with K Factors from 1.8 to 12.0. ![]() The spray pattern for the K Series nozzles is approximately 2400mm wide and has an included angle of 150° at a stand off distance of 300mm. The standard discharge angle is at 90° to the nozzle axis. The nozzles are recommended for use in tank cooling systems and other structural cooling applications, including ship super structure protection. The nozzles would normally be spaced at 2000mm centres to allow overlap of the spray pattern, and approximately 300mm off the surface. The spray should impact the surface at an angle of 70° or less. If stand off distances other than 300mm are to be used contact us for engineering data. For questions or comments please contact the Webmaster. Last updated 24 November 2000.
