- Abstract
The paper has studied how the speed of air is changed at different distances from the fan and at various heights at 3 m between rows of, using ATOM 300 orchard sprayer machine equipped with a new axial fan. The experiments were carried out for both speeds of the gear box. Experimental tests have shown that airflow speed changes along the tower 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 (3 and 4 m distance between rows), there can be observed a slowing of the airflow speed along with height, maximum speed being at ground level. Also here can be observed that the speed of airflow in the right side is higher on all points measured.
