Method and apparatus for disinfection

A process and apparatus for disinfection of spaces using a disinfecting liquid droplet spray atomization are described, in which an electric fan 107 is used to dispense the atomization from an atomization chamber 104 via venture outlets 106 into the space to be disinfected. The operation of the electric fan 107 is modulated in a cycle having a first phase in which the fan is operated at full speed and a second phase at which the fan is operated at a randomly selected speed to vary the rate of dispensing into the space in order to improve the dispersal of the atomized droplets in the space and hence the efficacy of disinfection.

Liquid proportioning machine

A liquid proportioning machine includes at least two liquid storage mechanisms for storing liquid, pump bodies for pumping liquid from the liquid storage mechanisms, and liquid discharge locations connected with liquid outlets of the pump bodies and ejecting liquid; and the liquid storage mechanisms are respectively connected with the corresponding pump bodies, and a regulating mechanism for keeping a proportion for the liquid discharge speeds of the pump bodies is arranged between the pump bodies. The pump body includes a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft rotates to cause the pump body to pump and discharge the liquid; and the regulating mechanism includes a driving shaft driven by a driving mechanism to rotate, and the driving shaft drives the rotating shafts of the liquid storage mechanisms to rotate through a transmission mechanism and maintains a proportion for the rotating speeds between the rotating shafts. The driving shaft drives any rotating shaft to rotate through a first transmission mechanism, and a second transmission mechanism is arranged between other rotating shafts and the rotating shaft directly driven by the driving shaft. In the present invention, an automatic proportioning manner is adopted, so the proportion of various kinds of liquid does not need to be manually regulated, which improves the working efficiency and the proportioning accuracy, and then the quality of the product is improved. The entire device has a low cost and great market competitiveness.

An agricultural sprayer includes a computing system configured to receive a first input associated with a target application rate at which agricultural fluid is to be dispensed onto the field. Moreover, the computing system is configured to receive a second input associated with a turn being made or to be made by the sprayer. Additionally, the computing system is configured to determine a maximum ground speed for the turn at which a selected nozzle dispenses the agricultural fluid onto the field at the target application rate based on the received first and second inputs. Furthermore, when the turn is being made, the computing system is configured to control an operation of the sprayer such that the ground speed of the sprayer is at or below the determined maximum ground speed.
