Reasons why pressure washer nozzles are easily damaged

Pressure washers use water as the working medium. Generally, an electric pump converts ordinary water into high-pressure and low-flow water by performing a suction and discharge process on the water, and then sends it to a high-pressure pipeline to make it constant. The energy reaches the high-pressure nozzles, which have a much smaller aperture than the diameter of the high-pressure line, so the water reaching the high-pressure nozzles is accelerated through the nozzles. In this way, the nozzles can convert high pressure, low flow water into low pressure, high flow nozzles. The jetted high-pressure water will tangentially or positively impact the surface of the object (workpiece) to be cleaned during the jetting process.

Pressure washer nozzles are critical for draining high-pressure water, but we will find that pressure washer nozzles often wear out. Damaged nozzles can disperse high-pressure water jets, which can affect performance. So, what is the cause of pressure washer nozzle wear?

1. High temperature intrusion on the nozzle: If the high pressure nozzle is operated at high temperature or abnormal temperature for a long time, the phenomenon that the nozzle is damaged due to material softening may occur.

2. Corrosive damage to nozzles: When we use chemical materials to spray and clean objects, these chemicals usually cause corrosive damage to high-pressure nozzle materials, causing hidden dangers.

3. Nozzle Hazard: The constant accumulation of chemicals and impurities inside and outside the high pressure nozzle can cause the nozzle to clog. This often affects the spray shape of the nozzle, which in turn affects the working pressure of the pressure washer.

4. Accidental damage to the nozzle: For security reasons, although the opening of the high-pressure nozzle is usually designed to be concave, if we cannot use it correctly and do not maintain and maintain it in time, the offset structure of the fan nozzle is very easy to break.

5. Corrosion damage of nozzles: The possibility of corrosion of high-pressure nozzles mainly depends on the working pressure of the high-pressure cleaner, the type of chemical materials used, the hardness of the liquid and its flow rate. In addition to this, particulate impurities in the liquid can also corrode the nozzle. When high-pressure water jets flow over the metal surface of the nozzle holes, they cause corrosion damage to the nozzle holes, which often results in reduced pressure in the pressure washer and irregular spray patterns.
