Comparative study of response times of electronic and hydraulic flow controls in sprayers

Some of the sprayers that have been manufactured over the past few years are fitted with electronic flow control systems. The purpose of these devices is to adjust the flow rate to changes in the working speed or in the recommended spray volume. The first part of the study compares these electronic...

Summary:Some of the sprayers that have been manufactured over the past few years are fitted with electronic flow control systems. The purpose of these devices is to adjust the flow rate to changes in the working speed or in the recommended spray volume. The first part of the study compares these electronic systems with one conventional hydraulic flow control (flow metering device) on the basis of their response time to variations in working speed. The study also compares the response time of two current types of electronic flow control systems at various boom widths (controlled by shutting off or opening parts of the boom) or to deliberate changes in the spray volume. Response times are also converted into equivalent treated areas.
