The SETscan patternator provides a full planar surface area density of liquid sprays. These are the most important parameter for combustion and spray drying applications since it is directly correlated to the local spray evaporation rate. The SETscan patternator is used both in research and development organizations to optimize the design of fuel injectors and spray nozzles as well as in the quality audit department. It is the only quantitative optical patternator in the market and is covered by US patent 6184989. The SETscan optical patternator comes in several sizes, four of which are shown below.
Research and development and quality audit of:
The OP series of optical patternators has six laser sheets and six array cameras. The patternator measures the light extinction across six view angles and multiple projections at each view angles. These measurements are deconvoluted to provide the local planar drop surface area per unit volume at a frequency of 10,000 Hz enabling an accurate high resolution image of the cross section of the spray.
