Abstract
A water extractor and nozzle for spraying fluid in an even distribution across a predetermined area. The nozzle comprises a tubular body with an axial fluid channel, which intersects a nozzle opening through which the fluid is sprayed onto the surface being cleaned. The nozzle opening is defined by opposed sidewalls connected to opposed end walls. The sidewalls are concave outwardly. The sidewalls and end walls define the spray coverage area and the shape of the opening controls the distribution of the fluid across the spray coverage area.
