Aspirating spray nozzle assembly

An aspirating spray nozzle assembly including a nozzle body and a distributor which are removably attached to one another;

• the nozzle body including:
• a first inlet having a first end adapted to facilitate supply of a liquid jet and a second end;
• a first chamber adapted to facilitate diffusion of the liquid jet and generation of a venturi effect, the first chamber having a third end being in communication with the second end of the first inlet and a fourth end being in directly or indirect communication with the distributor which includes a means adapted to interfere with the liquid jet;
• one or more orifice discs received within the first inlet being at or in close proximity to a second end, each of the one or more orifice disc(s) having one or more dispersing means adapted to cause the liquid jet to spread in the form of a cone having a defined angle;
• and
• an annular catchment adapted to encircle the fourth end of the first chamber;
• wherein the annular catchment is configured and disposed so as to catch and deflect at least a portion of any liquid splashback sent upstream by the interfering means such that the portion of deflected liquid splashback is redirected downstream again into the distributor.
