Brian A. from Boxboro, MA asks:
I have a very unusual application. I need a fogger nozzle that works at low volume flow for water. I want to pump out about 30-50 ml/minute of water in very fine droplets. The nozzle must have no metals in it as I am applying very high voltages to induce electron flow onto the water droplets. My current pump applies about 100psi, but I am open to any approach that gives me small droplets size in this volumetric regime. I have two electrostatic spray systems. But I want to apply more charge to them. Please advise and suggest alternatives.
Our equipment only uses brass or stainless steel nozzles and jets. However, there are some manufacturers of agricultural products that do make fogging devices out of plastics. Meteor Systems makes a fogging assembly that has a flow rate of 5 liters/hour (83 ml/min) at 45 psi and produces droplets of 70 – 100 microns in size. Netafim USA also produces a plastic fogger that has a flow rate of 2 gal/hour (126 ml/min) at 60 psi that has an average droplet size of 90 microns. In either case you would need to install a pressure regulator to reduce and control the pressure from your pump.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
