•
Extreme climate conditions: The use of additives in the paint may be
required (see paint manufacturer specifications).
•
Recommendations:
- Increase the peak size from 0.1 to 0.2 mm. compared to the one used in
normal conditions.
- Reduce the size of the fan by making it more rounded and with a central
core more loaded with product.
•
Critical climate conditions: The use of additives in the paint may be
required (see paint manufacturer specifications). Reduction of the fan and
increase of the spray core in a critical climate.
Recommendations:
•
- Reduce the dynamic pressure between 0.2 and 0.5 bar compared to that
used in normal conditions.
- Increase the size of the peak from 0.1 to 0.2 compared to that used in
normal conditions.
- Increase the product load in the central core of the fan.
Non-critical climate conditions: The use of additives in the paint may be
•
required (see paint manufacturer specifications).
•
Recommendations: Standard fan pattern.
Optimum climate conditions:
•
Recommendations: Optimum fan pattern.
