Product Overview
This machine atomizes light liquids into a fog, mist or spray of small
droplets. It can atomize both oil- and water-based solutions, as well as
emulsions and dilute suspensions of wettable powders.
Typical uses of this machine include:
• Humidification (fogging water)
• Odor control (fogging odor neutralizers, scents or masking
chemicals)
• Control of flying insects (application of insecticides)
• Cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting (applying germicides or
sanitizing chemicals), and for air duct cleaning, applying sealants
• Control of mold and mildew (applying sporicides, fungicides or
anti-mildew chemicals).
The liquid flow rate determines the size of the fog droplets formed
by the machine. Several factors influence the liquid flow rate – the
density and viscosity of the liquid; the setting of the flow control valve or
size of the flow restriction orifice; and the frictional resistance of the
machine’s internal lines.
Liquid viscosity and surface tension also affect the size of fog
droplets produced. At a given flow, lighter liquids (lower viscosity, lower
surface tension) generally make smaller droplets and finer fogs than
heavier liquids.
The drawing below identifies the principal components of the
machine.
