Abstract
This paper describes studies of the atomization produced by minispin rotary units at 3 speeds—4000, 6000, and 8000 rpm; and by 3 flat spray nozzles—8002, 80015, and 800067. All were used on an aircraft at 95 to 100 mph air speed and 40 psi spray pressure. Mass median diameter of the spray ranged from 120 microns with the minispin at 8000 rpm to 269 with the 8002 nozzles. The minispin produced a lower percentage of both the fine drops and the coarse drops than did the 800067 nozzles.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
