Turbulent flow drippers allow water to move rapidly in irregular random motions. Turbulent flow drippers regulate water flow by dissipating energy in friction against the walls of the water passage. 3, record 4, English, - turbulent%20flow%20dripper
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Turbulent flow emitters have very desirable flow characteristics with respect to emitter clogging. The turbulent flow process permits emitter passageways to be larger than laminar flow devices, and the turbulence helps to prevent the deposition of small particles in emitter passageways. 4, record 4, English, - turbulent%20flow%20dripper
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 3 CONT
The Drip n Drip Turbulent Flow Emitter has an unique concept of dissipating energy using Wall Friction and turbulence. In fact, most of the energy is dissipated by the turbulent flow regime. The turbulent flow pattern has two desirable dimensional characteristics, large cross sectional areas and a short flow path. Hence it is the most efficient method of dissipating energy. 5, record 4, English, - turbulent%20flow%20dripper
