TDA-4A/4Blite/4B Compressor Requirements
The TDA-4A, 4Blite & 4B Aerosol Generators
use Laskin Nozzles to generate aerosol. These require large
amounts of compressed air. Each nozzle, when operating at
20 psig pressure, requires 2.65 actual cubic feet a minute
(acfm) of compressed air. If the number of the nozzles is
increased, the quantity of compressed air will also increase.
Therefore, when using three nozzles at 20 psig instead of
one nozzle, the amount of compressed air required will triple
to 7.95 acfm.
The maximum air pressure required is approximately
22 acfm at 30 psig. This air compressor capacity requires a relatively large, non-portable compressor. Operation of these generators using less than 3 nozzles is possible with a portable compressor of approximately 1-1/2 HP.
