- Abstract
The paper has studied how the speed of air is changed at different distances from the circumference of the fan and at various heights at the distance between rows of 3 m, using ATOM 1000 orchard sprayer machine. Experimental tests have shown that airflow speed changes along the circumference of the fan depending on the distance and position. The direction of rotation of the fan in a clockwise direction influences the airflow speed, being higher on the right side. When measuring vertical airflow velocity (3m distance between rows), there can be observed a slowing of the airflow speed along winth height, maximum speed is at 1 m above ground. Also here can be observed that the speed of airflow in the right side is higher on all points measured.
