PIV SPRAY DIAGNOSTICS

Sprays are an important part of our everyday life, from pharmaceutics to food production, and from automobiles to airplanes. TSI Spray Diagnostics products help to keep all these spray processes running at peak efficiency by ensuring desired system operation or by pinpointing where the spray system is not performing as designed.

Phase Doppler systems measure droplet size and velocity and provide detailed statistics with high spatial resolution. Traversing the PDPA system gives size and velocity field of the spray.

Imaging-based Spray Analysis systems, using INSIGHT™ 3G software package, provide rapid image-based data on spray patternation, size, and symmetry. Even pulsed sprays can be analyzed using an easy-to-use external trigger and phase-lock feature of the imaging-based system.

In addition, PIV systems provide rapid, visual, velocity based data over the entire flowfield. This allows immediate feedback on the "big-picture" analysis of the spray structure. High Frame Rate PIV systems provide rapid characterization of the evolution of transient sprays, including velocities, vorticity, power spectra, and other flow properties.
