Exhaust Capture Nozzles
The Horizon-Future range provides a wide selection
of vehicle exhaust capture nozzles. The range includes Neoprene nozzles
of the slip-on type and clamp type, with circular, rectangular, and angular
configurations. Steel nozzles with spring-loaded
lids, and exhaust capture funnels. Steel/Neoprene combination nozzles
are also available.
Specially designed nozzles are available, including
nozzles mounted on an adjustable stand, nozzles for vertical exhaust stack
pipes. Illustrated below, are a selected few from a large range of nozzles.
Choosing a Nozzle... Points to Bear in Mind
• Steel nozzle - the spring-loaded lid,
secures the nozzle in place on the exhaust pipe. When removed from the
exhaust pipe, it provides an effective seal/damper over the exhaust extraction
hose when not in use. A steel nozzle is recommended in conjunction with
high exhaust temperature.
• Neoprene nozzles
- resistant to exhaust temperatures up to 150oC at normal use. Neoprene
reduces the risk of damaging vehicle surfaces. A
Neoprene nozzle is not readily deformed, as with a steel nozzle.
• A nozzle without a clamping device,
can easily slide off the exhaust pipe, if the vehicle is moved in any
direction. A nozzle which does not fit tightly to the exhaust pipe, does
not develop a negative pressure within the vehicle exhaust system. Surrounding
air, is therefore exhausted into the nozzle reducing the gas flow temperature,
thus increasing the lifetime of the exhaust hose.
• Slip-on nozzles can only be used
with exhaust pipes that are protruding from the vehicle, no ambient air
is fed into the nozzle for temperature reduction.
• Protection gloves should be used at all times
when handling a nozzle which has been connected to a vehicle, with the
engine running - the nozzle will be hot!
