Section II. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION DATA
PURPOSE, CAPABILITIES and FEATURESI
Purpose
The ULV Aerosol Generator is designed to provide an effective method for controlling mosquitoes and other flying
insects.
Capabilities and Features
a. Produces a low volume low temperature insecticide aerosol.
b. The aerosol is long lasting, is widely dispersed by prevailing air currents, and remains close to the ground to
ensure a high kill rate per gallon of insecticide.
c. An eight horsepower engine drives the aerosol generator.
d. The engine speed is controlled by a governor system.
e. The insecticide flow from the formulation tank to the discharge nozzle is carried by a reduced air pressure from
the compressor.
f. The insecticide solution flows through a control panel. The control panel is mounted in the vehicle within reach
of the driver.
g. The compressor provides 90-100 psi air pressure to a special nozzle assembly. The air blast through the nozzle
assembly breaks up the insecticide solution into tiny aerosol size droplets.
h. A flush tank is provided for flushing the generator system after operation.
LOCATION and DESCRIPTION of MAJOR COMPONENTS
The aerosol generator is designed to be mounted on the back of a pickup truck or other suitable vehicle and operated
from the driver's position. It is made up of seven major parts.
