Spray data acquisition system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A spray data acquisition system comprising:
- an illumination device for illuminating a spray plume along at least one geometric plane that intersects the spray plume; and
an imaging device for acquiring data representative of an interaction between the illumination and the spray plume along the at least one geometric plane;
wherein the acquired data is representative of a first time-sequential set of images or a second time-sequential set of images, the first time-sequential set of images corresponding to an axial cross-sectional density characteristic along a first geometric plane substantially normal to a flow direction centerline and the second time-sequential set of images corresponding to a longitudinal density characteristic along a second geometric plane substantially parallel to and intersecting the flow direction centerline.

Abstract
A spray data acquisition system includes a spray pump actuator that is capable of providing a pumping force to a pumping device to generate an aerosol spray plume along a spray axis. The system also includes an illumination device that illuminates the aerosol spray plume along at least one first geometric plane that intersects the aerosol spray plume. The system further includes an imaging device that acquires data representative of an interaction between the illumination and the aerosol spray plume along at least one geometric plane.
