Configurable Dual Boom Nozzle with Orifice Control

A configurable nozzle system comprising:

• a first boom tube and a second boom tube;
• and
• a nozzle housing retaining a configurable nozzle assembly, the configurable nozzle assembly including:
• at least one coupling configured couple the first boom tube and the second boom tube with the nozzle housing;
• a first nozzle assembly including:
• a first nozzle passage in communication with at least one of the first boom tube or the second boom tube;
• and
• a first nozzle spray orifice;
• a second nozzle assembly including:
• a second nozzle passage in communication with the other of the first boom tube or the second boom tube;
• and
• a second nozzle spray orifice;
• a nozzle manifold including one or more fluid passages, the one or more fluid passages interconnecting at least one of the first boom tube and the second boom tube with at least one of the first nozzle assembly and second nozzle assembly;
• and
• at least one bridging valve selectively interconnecting the one or more fluid passages to at least one of the first nozzle assembly and the second nozzle assembly.

A method of distributing an agricultural product along a flow path, the flow path extending from at least one agricultural fluid source to a first nozzle assembly and a second nozzle assembly, a bridging valve selectively interconnecting the first nozzle assembly and the second nozzle assembly, the method comprising:

• delivering the agricultural product from the at least one fluid source to a nozzle manifold;
• wherein the nozzle manifold includes a first fluid passage and a second fluid passage;
• directing the agricultural product along the flow path toward at least one of the first nozzle assembly or the second nozzle assembly, the flow path configured to have one of an isolation distribution configuration or an open distribution configuration;
• closing the bridging valve in the isolation distribution configuration;
• directing the agricultural product in the isolation distribution configuration separately to each of the first fluid passage and the second fluid passage;
• directing the agricultural product, in the isolation distribution configuration, from the first fluid passage to the first nozzle assembly and from the second fluid passage to the second nozzle assembly;
• changing the flow path configuration by opening the bridging valve to alter the flow path to the open distribution configuration;
• directing the agricultural product, in the open distribution configuration, across the bridging valve from one of the first fluid passage to the second fluid passage or from the second fluid passage to the first fluid passage;
• and
• dispensing the agricultural product from one of the first nozzle assembly or the second nozzle assembly.
