KLD Laboratories developed the DC-IV to measure droplet size distribution and perform various volumetric computations including VmD, SMD and MMD for water and oil-based liquids. Based upon the hot-wire concept utilized in KLD’s successful DC-II, DC-III and AIMS units, the DC-IV incorporates the best features of the previous units as well as providing a USB interface. This interface allows users to view, store and print droplet distributions and volumetric computations from a notebook or desktop IBM-compatible computer. All data is stored in ASCII file format for a permanent record and to allow post analysis with spreadsheet packages such as Excel or user-defined programs.

Applications include:

• Insecticide Sprayer Calibration - Spray systems may be adjusted for maximum effectiveness and coverage
• Air Pollution Control of Power Plant Emissions - The effectiveness of wet scrubbers and mist eliminator systems can be assessed
• Operation of Power Plant Cooling Towers - Evaluation of source drift emissions for towers

Benefits:

• Portable and User-Friendly
• Diagnostic Software Included
• Easily Connects to Notebook or Desktop PCs
• Displays Droplet Distribution from 1 to 600 microns for water and 1 to 150 microns for oils
• Provides Volumetric Computation of VMD, SMD and MMD
• Generates ASCII data files for permanent record and post analysis
