Abstract:
A wind tunnel device defines a cyclical tunnel to receive continuous airflow. Airflow is delivered through the tunnel to a testing region that includes a first portion carrying an arm including a spray tip configured to spray particulates in the testing region at an angle, and a second portion including an enlarged cutout region configured to receive the angled sprayed particulates. As airflow carries the angled spray particulates into the second portion, the enlarged cutout region enables the spray particulates to pass through and exit the second portion of the testing region. Analysis in the second region may be conducted through transparent walls free of openings to minimize exposure of the spray particulates to the exterior of the device. A scrubber is adapted to extract spray mist from the airflow as the airflow exits the testing region and is re-circulated through the cyclical tunnel.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of analyzing spray particulates in a wind tunnel comprising:\n using a spray tip to deliver a spray in a testing region, the testing region adapted to receive the spray, the test region having a substantially enclosed interior; analyzing the spray as airflow carries the spray through the testing region; and using an airflow system to re-circulate the airflow through an enclosed interior of the wind tunnel.
