Patent number: 7572107Abstract: A mobile, real-time system for delivering an aerosol spray to a treatment area while maintaining the fluid within a closed environment for providing maximum personal protection to the operators handling the fluid during the transfer and application of the fluid. The invention includes a spraying device for producing a precise degree of liquid droplet generation on a repeatable basis by combining a specified rate of regulated flow of liquid material with a regulated flow of high-pressure air. The delivery system includes a closed loop system for calibrating a liquid pump, which regulates the flow of liquid within the system. A controller is coupled to the components of the delivery system for control thereof. The operator of the delivery system communicates with the controller through a user interface, which provides the operator with manual and automatic controls of the delivery system, such as the closed environment calibration of the pump and transfer of fluid from an external source to the delivery system.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2007Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: ADAPCO, Inc.Inventors: Larry D.

Publication number: 20070194146Abstract: The present invention provides a nozzle capable of multiple atomizing steps of a liquid. In one configuration the nozzle provides atomization of a liquid fluid in a first direction and subsequent post atomization of the same liquid in a second direction to form a counter-flow nozzle. Accordingly, the liquid fluid to be dispensed is atomized in at least two separate stages causing improved atomization and the creation of particulate matter size of the liquid within a specified droplet spectrum. Furthermore, the present invention provides these features through an improved and simplified design providing potential cost savings to the end user due to the more effective operation of the nozzle and more efficient dispensing of fluid agents.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2006Publication date: August 23, 2007Inventor: Bruce Dorendorf

Publication number: 20070040046Abstract: The invention includes a spraying device (10) for producing a precise degree of liquid droplet generation on a repeatable basis by combining a specified rate of regulated flow of liquid material with a regulated flow of high-pressure air. The spraying device (10) includes an electric or engine driven direct drive compressor (12.) Coupled to the compressor (12) is an air storage tank (14) providing air pulsation reduction to the regulated air and serves as a reservoir for excess airflow generation. A Venturi nozzle (18) is connected to the compressor (12.) A liquid supply tube (24) uses a fixed or variable restriction to regulate the liquid flow to the nozzle (18.) The vacuum in the liquid supply line (24) draws this liquid flow and mixes the liquid externally with the regulated air in exacting proportions forming specified liquid droplet sizes. The device (10) uses air and liquid regulation combined with a Venturi nozzle (18) and is able to generate extremely consistent liquid droplet sizes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2006Publication date: February 22, 2007Inventors: Bruce Dorendorf, Veryln Ripley
