RESUMO
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the spectrum and the velocity of droplets produced by nozzles with and without air induction, under different pressures and flow rates. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with five replications, in a factorial 2 x 3 x 3 (two spray nozzles, three flow rates and three operating pressures). The spray nozzles with and without air induction of the Hypro manufacturer (GA and VP) were evaluated, with nominal flow rates of 0.76; 1.14 and 1.51 L min-1 and pressures of 200, 300 and 400 kPa. The spectrum and velocity of the droplets were determined directly, using a Visisize Portable P15 (Oxford Lasers, Imaging Division). The pressure increases further reduction of the VMD and the relative amplitude, and increases the droplet velocity. The droplets generated by the spray nozzles with air induction showed on average amplitude 1.54 times higher than the droplets generated by spray nozzles without air induction. The droplet velocity showed little variation between the nozzles with and without air induction with the same pressure and flow rate, however, spray nozzles with larger flow rates and pressures produced droplets with higher velocities.
