Spray nozzles are employed by Kelsan Technologies Corporation to distribute a liquid form of their friction modifiers on the top of railroad tracks. These friction modifiers reduce the energy consumption of railroad locomotives by up to 6% and also reduce the wear on the rail and the wheel flanges by in excess of 50%. The fuel and capital cost savings through use of friction modifiers on rails in North America alone could amount to hundreds of millions of dollars annually. There would also be concomitant environmental benefits to the reduced diesel fuel consumption.

Kelsan Technologies Corporation 使用喷嘴将液体形式的摩擦调节剂分布在铁轨顶部。这些摩擦改进剂可将铁路机车的能耗降低高达 6%，并将钢轨和轮缘的磨损减少 50% 以上。仅在北美，通过在铁路上使用摩擦改进剂每年节省的燃料和资本成本就可达数亿美元。柴油消耗量的减少还会带来相应的环境效益。
