The changes of liquid temperature in sprayer tank

The problem of temperature increase of liquid in the sprayer tank, as a result of the partial recirculation of liquid were described. This is important for some types of applied plant protection preparations, especially biological (living organisms). Change of the liquid temperature generates a risk for heat-sensitive substances, and for living organisms. In addition, the temperature increase can affect the spectrum of the generated droplets, and consequently can decrease the biological efficacy, as well as the increase of losses by evaporation and aerial drift.
