  • Publication number: 20240351052
    Abstract: An aerial nozzle cap, configured to connect a spray tip to a nozzle body of an aerial spray applicator fluid distribution system, the aerial nozzle cap comprising: an aerodynamic hood extending downstream and away from the spray tip, the aerodynamic hood configured to shield the spray tip and spray jet fluid emitted from the fluid distribution system from airflow passing over the nozzle cap during a spray application; wherein the hood is configured to shape the airflow conditions around the spray tip and nozzle cap to form a zone of lower velocity and lower energy air during the spray application to prevent undesired droplet formation. The nozzle cap may include a substantially cylindrical continuous “bullet” geometry having a bullet cap connected to a bullet body.

  • Publication number: 20230249199
    Abstract: Valve assembly for agricultural spraying, related apparatus, related systems, and related methods. In accordance with an example, a valve assembly for agricultural spraying, the valve assembly includes a top valve, a bottom valve, and a fluid conduit. The top valve includes an air inlet, an air outlet, a top liquid inlet, and a top liquid outlet. The top valve provides fluid communication therethrough in at least two states. The bottom valve includes a bottom liquid inlet, a bottom liquid outlet, a discharge outlet, and a drain outlet. The bottom valve provides fluid communication therethrough in at least three states. The fluid conduit in fluid communication with the top liquid outlet and the bottom liquid inlet. The top valve and the bottom valve are in fluid communication via the fluid conduit. When the top valve is in the first state, the bottom valve is in the second state.
