Clogged nozzles are difficult problem in the industry. A clogged nozzle has a blocked orifice or vane which does not allow fully spray angle formation. Distribution of the fluid is interrupted and the spray tends to be uneven with heavy areas and voids. The flow rates are reduced and droplet spectrum shifts. A clogged or partially clogged nozzle cannot create the desired droplet size.
