TRUE AERO, ... with a different kind of pressure. (FLO rate question)

Howdy,

I cannot recall from whom or from where i got this link, it was from a google find of posts on another cannabis enthusiast forum,

however it pointed me to this company, and I then found this product ...

It is a,

nozzle which blasts pressurized air, atomizing only by suction liquid from another port.

So,

i'm doin' <50 micron drops inside my chilled resevoir/container, powered by compressed air from a modestly sized pump/tank.

This method is much less intense, due to the,

passive nature of the resevoir... drawn up only by suction.

My question is for the aero heads:

What kind of flow rates am I looking at, in order to achieve an adequately drenching 3second/3minute cycle ratio for a true aero setup,

in a box sized a little smaller than three feet cubed.

peace yalll

Have you looked through here?

Yeah... I'm familiar with those guys, I've read what they have to say...

I dunno tho im not like, a scholar or anything, shit. \

God damn that nozzle, the 90, fuck is she pretty.

Wanna know how much a brass one costs, to make, just for you?

600$.

I love 'production'.

Can i ask why your doing the TAG? isnt the cost and maintenance just too much when compared to what you can get from just a low pressure aero?

Well,
I dont think what I would get out of an aquamist would blow me away after my too-long stint in DWC.

Theoretically I really dont see the difference between lp aero and dwc.
The roots don't look that different anyways.

I want fuzzy. I want fuzzy, microscopic roots.

lp Aero is not how you step up to those...

Take a look, as long as your regulate your pressure before it goes in, don't see an issue, honestly I don't see the cost benefits of using stainless steel, you'd want to at least get a crop or too done before you warrant an upgrade at least as I don't see one as a superior technology, merely just a shifting of long term reliability into upfront cost.

i added a water volume calculator to this link...it also tells you how much flow you use for the 120 deg black mister nozzles from cloudtop.com...i would assume other misters have similar flow rates at the same pressures...if you have the actual pressure v flow info from another nozzle you could input that into the calculator and adjust the pressure calculation equation

to use as is input the pressure at the nozzles and the number of nozzles to get the total flow rate, input the time on in seconds, and time off in seconds to get the amount of water used per day/week

You`ll find the real world flowrate will be higher than expected as hidden variables come into play such as pressure variation, hydraulic and electrical delays. No two setups are exactly alike so its best to measure the actual nozzle output by weighing the liquid delivered during a known time scale.
The result will be accurate for that particular setup at the tested pressure. If you don`t use a pressure regulator, test the nozzles at the highest system pressure as that will give the highest flowrate.
