A Roller-Brush Sprayer.

Abstract

A new type of liquid sprayer called a roller-brush sprayer has been constructed at the Defence Research Establishment Suffield. The device operates by flicking liquid drops with polypropylene bristles. The roller-brush sprayer was tested with high viscosity oil and was found to produce good liquid drops. Mass median diameters were determined for a range of spray rates and it was found that the spray rate did not affect the drop spectrum. (Author)
