By controlling the output of the selected nozzles, pattern distortion caused by the effect of crosswind is minimized.
Applying air pressure to the topside of the diaphragm so the valve remains closed when desired controls the check valves.
PATTERNATOR™
A New Method of Improving Deposit Uniformity in a Crosswind
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Patternator is
comprised of three distinct components:
1) A direction
sensor that outputs an electrical signal.
2) A
controller that, through a series of relays and solenoids, outputs pneumatic
pressure to selected nozzles.
3) A series of
controllable check valves that are connected to selected nozzles and the
controller.
CONTROLLING THE CHECK VALVE
By
controlling the output of the selected nozzles, pattern distortion caused by the
effect of crosswind is minimized.
Applying air pressure to the topside of
the diaphragm so the valve remains closed when desired controls the check
valves.
