Improving Coverage?
Important Droplet Statistics: Operational Area
Relative Span RS = (Vd. 9 – Vd. 1)/VMD Vd. 9 = 400, VMD = 300, Vd. 1 = 100 Vd. 9 = 625, VMD = 300, Vd. 1 = 25
Calibration!!!! The next phase! Ensuring that the spray droplet spectrum is what it is supposed to be to maximize efficacy while minimizing drift!
Droplet Selection/Calibration:
Droplet Spectra Classification*
Greenleaf Droplet chart:
What is the ‘Real’ difference ? ……Medium droplet at 225 microns ……Coarse droplet at 300 microns How much heavier? Or is it? ? ? 300 = 1. 33 225 1. 33 bigger 1. 333 = 1. 33 * 1. 33 = 2. 35 * 100 = 235% heavier
Nozzle Technology…… ü Nozzles designed to reduce drift ü Improved drop size control ü Emphasis on ‘Spray Quality’
Nozzles Types?
Extended Range Flat-fan: ü Tapered edge pattern ü 80 and 110 degree fan ü Requires overlap - 50 to 60% ü 15 -60 psi range
Chamber - Pre-orifice Nozzles: l l l l Turbulence chamber as in the Turbo Flood Tapered edge, wide angle flat pattern Designed to work in flat-fan nozzle holder Uniform spray distribution, 50 -60% overlap Wide pressure range, 15 – 90 psi Large, drift resistant droplets Plastic with superior wear characteristics Pre-orifice Exit orifice
Air-Induction/Venturi Nozzles Where air is drawn into the nozzle cavity and exits with the fluid.
Pre-orifice Air Induction Nozzles: Pre-orifice Air induction Mixing Chamber Exit orifice
Ultra Lo Drift: ü Double inlet preorifice ü Large drift resistant droplets ü Low profile
