Descale nozzles and headers need to be sized to maximize the impact performance of the nozzles. Impact testing along with CFD analysis can help to determine if a header has been properly designed to provide maximum impact force. CFD analysis can determine the turbulence level in the header, and impact measurements can be taken to determine the effects of turbulence on the spray pattern. Comparing the results with an ideal condition can help to optimize descale header design.
