DYNA-FOG: hurricane Aerosol applicator his chemical applicator is am electric hand portable aerosol applicator with three rugged nylon nozzles. This device is intended for application of both oil based (following necessary precautions) and water based chemical treatments including wettable powders and wet flowables. The body and tanks are made of high density chemical which are labeled for aerosol or mist application such as disinfectants, deodorizers, germicides and insecticides in locations such as hospitals, schools, nursing homes, greenhouses, stables, warehouse, homes, and farm buildings. The partial sizes generated range from 7 to 30 microns MMD depending on the flow rate and viscosity of the materials.

WORKING PRINCIPLES: The machine consists of a blower assembly, a nozzle system, a nozzle housing, a formulation tank and a metering value. The blower is a single stage axial compressor driven by a universal motor operating at a speed of 20,000 RPM. The blower moves a large amount of air though the nozzle system consisting of three individual nozzles. Each of which has two sets of directing vanes. One vane set causes the air to be rotated clockwise and the other causes the air to be rotated counterclockwise. The intersecting action of the circular forces shears the material being dispensed into small particles. Further the air rushing by the specially shaped liquid tubes creates a negative pressure in the liquid tube. This negative pressure causes the liquid to be drawn from the formulation tank through the control value and into the nozzle system where it is pneumatically sheared into aerosol or mist sized droplets. After break-up, the droplets are driven away from the machine by the air passing through the nozzle system.
Generally, the sizes of the output droplets increases with increasing viscosity. By measuring the flowability of the formulation, the rate of liquid through the machine and particle sizes corresponding to these flow rates can be determined with reasonable accuracy.

OPERATION: PREPARATION: Proper application of formulation with machine requires 7 basic steps as follows:
1. Determine the APPLICATION RATE of the formulation from the formulation label.. 2. Measure and calculate the ENCLOSED VOLUME to be treated. 3. Multiple the application rate by the enclosed volume to arrive at the arrive at the AMOUNT REQUIRED. .4. Measure the FLOWABILITY of the liquid under the temperature conditions at which the liquid is to be applied. 5. Use the MACHINE FLOW RATE table to determine an appropriate particle size and MACHINE FLOW RATE and set the MACHINE VALVE SETTING accordingly. 6. Divide the AMOUNT REQUIRED by the MACHINE FLOW RATE to find the APPLICATION TIME in minutes. 7. Apply the formulations for the time determined by step 6. NOTE: IN CALCULATING AMOUNTS, ANY CONSISTENT SYSTEM OF UNITS MAY BE USED. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE LABEL IS IN CUBIC FEET. FURTHER, IF THE LABEL IS MILLILITERS PER CUBIC METER, THEN THE SPACE VOLUME SHOULD BE CALCULATED IN CUBIC METERS. :

SAFETY PRECAUTION: 1. electric power. This machine uses electrical power at common commercially available voltages. When directly contacted, such voltages are hazardous to human life. All precautions commonly applicable operate from three wire power systems where one of these wires is a safety ground. Do not disconnect the safety ground or use extension cords or cheap plugs to connect this machine to a two wire system. This defeats the purpose of the safety ground and may result in a hazardous electrical shock condition.
When making repairs on the machine, use an area or work bench that is dry and not electrically conductive. Dry natural wood and plastics are generally non-conductive at the working voltages of this machine. Metals are usually conductive. Do not probe inside the machine.
Extension cords must be properly sized and rated for the voltage. Current and LENGTH of an individual cord. Consult the nameplate current and voltage rating of your machine and the marked rating of the extension cord. A single extension cord only should be used. When two or more extension cords are placed in series, the rated current carrying capacities of the cords may no longer be valid. If an extension cord gets warm to the touch, discontinue its use and obtain a cord with a higher current rating. Improper extension cords are not only hazardous, butt may result in poor machine performance due to excessive voltage drop. Finally, since the machine uses oil based formulations, the extension cord should be rated as oil resistant.
2. Formulations: Many formulations are combustible; that is, they all can be caused to burn. This is a true of even high flash point or “no flash” point formulations (fine particle dust in a grain mill has “no” flash point) A combustible liquid vapor can more easily be ignited because it more readily forms a uniform mixture with the air which contains the oxygen needed for combustion. However, fine particles of combustible liquids or solids suspended in the air very closely spaced are capable of propagating flame from one to another once ignition starts. A good analogy is the grain mill explosion. Although the fine particle dust in a grain has “NO” flash point, the phenomena of the grain mill explosion is an all to common occurrence.
While a high flash point or a “NO” flash point liquid formulation will ignite far less readily than a low flash point liquid, and for this reason is strongly advocated, the high or “NO” flash point formulation can ignite if the proper conditions exist. These conditions are basically two: 1. a sufficient volume of liquid in the form of fine particles suspended in the air; and 2. a sufficiently high energy source of ignition.
3. Aerosol Concentration. It has been fully established that an acceptable level of liquid in the atmosphere is one gallon per 50,000 cubic feet (2.7 liters per 1,000 cubic meters). There is a safety margin of at least 5 to 1 in this figure.
4. Aerosol Ignition: If a combustible atmosphere is established or a combustible deposit is laid down, a source of ignition may cause a fire. Sources of ignition can be gas or oil pilot lights or sparks from electrical controls. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that all such sources be eliminated by extinguishing all pilot lights and turning off all unnecessary electric power. To avoid danger of fire or explosion in an enclosed space, the volume fogging time and required formulations volume should be carefully calculated.
5. PROPER AND IMPROPER USE: The following rules apply to the operation of this machine.DO: Read all warning in enclosed manual before operating the machine and pay particular attention to all CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS. Store formulation in its original labeled container.. Use an extension cord which is properly rated for voltage, current and length and which is free from nicks, cracks and other signs of abuse. For lengths up to 100 feet (30.5 meters ) cords with No. 12 A WG wire are usually adequate. Replace damaged or worn electric cord immediately. Turn the flow value CLOCKWISE to the OFF position after each spray application while the motor is still operating to allow clearing of the lines. This will also prevent a siphon effect if the unit ever accidentally knocked over with the valve remaining open. Always comply with any requirements for protective clothing, goggles, facial masks or respirator required by the formulation label. Ensure that formulations are applied only in strict compliance with the formulation label as well as local, state and federal regulations.
DO NOT: Spray flammable liquids near open flame or other source of ignition. Use a machine which is broken or damaged in any way. Alter the machine by adding or removing parts. Restrict the motor blower inlet area. Tamper with the output nozzle. Allow the machine to operate unattended. Apply more than one gallon of formulation per 50,000 cubic feet (2.7 liters per 1,000 cubic meters enclosed space). Exceeding this concentration is both hazardous and wasteful
