This machine consists of a motor/blower assembly, high voltage power supply, charging
ring and electrode, blower housing, a nozzle, formulation tank and metering valve. The
blower is a two-stage centrifugal compressor driven by a universal motor operating at a
speed of 20,000 rpm. The blower moves a large amount of air through the nozzle
system. The nozzle has six (6) stationary fins, which direct the air to create a swirling
effect of the air mass as it leaves the nozzle. In the center of this exiting swirling air, a
liquid supply spout tube injects formulation. The liquid is delivered to the nozzle by a
negative pressure at the nozzle caused by the exiting air mass. The flow rate is
controlled by a one turn precision metering valve located at the formulation tank.
Generally, the sizes of the output droplets increase with increasing flow rates and with
increasing viscosity of the liquid being dispensed.
After the nozzles shear the formulation into billions of droplets, the droplets are
dispersed into the atmosphere. As the droplets exit the nozzles they pass through an
“electrostatic ion field”. This field is created using the combination of a high voltage
power supply, an emitting electrode and charging ring (Collector). The result is billions
of electrostatically charged droplets that gravitate to neutral objects to form a uniform
coverage. The various components are identified in the fluid systems and major
components diagrams.
