Abstract:
1. A method of supplying a spray system configuration for a user application, the method comprising: receiving, via at least one computer executing computer readable instructions stored on a tangible computer-readable medium, a set of application parameters including an application geometry and a fluid identification for the spray system; converting the received fluid identification to an estimated fluid parameter set using the at least one computer, wherein the estimated fluid parameter set includes one or more parameters that at least approximate physical characteristics of the fluid corresponding to the fluid identification; based on the application geometry and the estimated fluid parameter set, specifying using the at least one computer, a solution geometry and a solution parameter set, wherein the solution geometry comprises a specified number and type of spray nozzles in a specified orientation relative to the application geometry and the solution parameter set includes at least a fluid pressure at which the fluid is supplied to the spray nozzles; and providing the solution geometry to the user.
