Title: dual turbo lances
Post by: richywilts on March 12, 2010, 07:13:13 am
any one used one of these before come with a bit of a price just wondering if anyone has any experience with them and are they worth the price tag compared to a single turbo nozzle

If the nozzles are fitted with the correct oriface then the flow would be split in two and the pressure would remain constant
 ie if you have a 0.4mm nozzle in a single gun the dual should have 2 off 0.2mm
I think people don't change the nozzles often enough and loose performance as a result - flow remains but pressure drops which can be heard by the loading on the engine, mine uses a tank in 2.5 hours but with a worn nozzle lasts up to 4 hours

Bds,

forgive me for been stupid , and I am no way questioning your answer, " or am I "  but if the orifice is bigger , dos this not allow more water through, hence using more ? 

I cant quite get my head round this one , sorry .
whilst on the subject , does any one have a turbo lance surplus to requirments or recommend a suplier .

geoff

In using duel nozzles the idea is to create the same csa (cross sectional area)  in the two nozzles as you would have in using the one nozzle - this gives the same pressure and flow as one nozzle.

I've looked at these BDCS.

Do you get a wider cleaning area, in the form of a figure 8 or are they set up to offer two non overlapping cleaning areas.

How do you find using them, better than single??The benefits are??

Rob ;D

I've never used one either, I was just doing my best to explain about the need to get the correct nozzle sizes for them to work
