Abstract
A fine particle sprayer including a nozzle for dispersing a liquid disinfectant into a spray plume of droplets and a means for directing pressurized air below the spray plume to increase droplet transfer efficiency, and above and around the spray plume to prevent errant droplets from drifting toward an operator. A sprayer system includes a sprayer, a housing, and a blower that may be removably attached to the sprayer for generating an air stream below the droplets to improve droplet transfer efficiency.
