  • Page 11: Specifications

    SPECIFICATIONS Description: The Hurricane ES™ machine is an electrostatic “Cold Fog” ULV/Mister that utilizes a 3-nozzle air-assist design. This device is intended for applications of Water-Base formulations. The body and tank are made of high-density chemical resistant polyethylene. The applicator is useful for dispensing most chemicals which are labeled for aerosol or mist applications such as disinfectants, deodorizers, germicides, insecticides, etc., in locations such as hospitals, schools, nursing homes, greenhouses, stables, warehouses, homes, and farm buildings.
  • Page 12: Principles Of Operation

    Principles of Operation- 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.
  • Page 13: Flow Rates, Droplet Sizes And Applications

    (Collector) FIGURE 4 Flow Rates, Droplet Sizes and Applications Liquid flow rate of the Hurricane ES is created by the suction caused by the design of the 3- nozzles. The Flow rate is regulated by adjusting the metering valve. The liquid flow rate can be increased by rotating the metering valve knob counterclockwise and decreased by rotating it clockwise.

    optimal air born suspension and insect impaction. In dry climates evaporation will tend to cause droplets to “shrink”. Therefore it may be necessary to increase flow rate to get adequate coverage. The smaller the droplet size the greater the number of droplets that are created. For example: If 1 milliliter of spray is dispersed as 20 Micron droplets, there will be 239 million droplets produced.
