will exhaust outdoors. Mix the Aqua-Reslin in the ratio planned for treatment, and place in insecticide
tank.
Operate the unit and, with a anemometer, find the point at which the nozzle velocity reads 3-
3.5 meters/second (on the Mozzie Electric this is approximately 36"-42" from the nozzle). Although
KLD Labs instructions state that velocity should be read at 5-7 meters/second for most testing, the
point at which that reading occurs is within an area where the particles are still being sheared by the
Mozzie nozzle due to the characteristics of the nozzle design. In consultation with KLD Labs it was
recommended not to test lower than 3 meters/second. We have determined that the 3-3.5 range
would satisfy the limits of the analyzer and return an accurate representation of the particle size
spectrum.
Once all preparation has been made, run a 30 second or 60 second test with the DCIII set to
analyze oil. Results obtained with Aqua-Reslin on the Model 200 should compare to the following
table:
Aqua-Reslin Mix Flow Rate
oz/min
Pump Setting MMD
Neat 1.68 1.10 22-23
1+1 2.10 1.25 24-25
1+2 3.10 1.60 26-27
As a basis for comparison, plain water run at 3.1 opm and a velocity of 3.5 meters/sec yields a 42-44
mmd spectrum. It follows that the more dilute the mixture is, the higher the shift in droplet median
diameter, therefore, we do not recommend dilutions higher than 2+1 of water to Aqua-Reslin.
Another important aspect of the results returned by the DC-III is the total droplet count. In
our experience, a probe in good condition should indicate total droplet counts of 2500-3500 in a one
minute run and roughly 1/2 of those totals in a 30 second run. Significantly lower counts than these
might indicate a probe in poor condition or not in the correct position. In this instance, reverify the
velocity at the point where the probe is placed within the fog. In addition, when taking readings move
the probe slowly across the fog pattern, being careful to keep the probe perpendicular to the cloud.
Maintenance
Maintenance on the Mozzie Electric is routinely simple. Once a month check the cable
terminations at the battery and clean if needed. Check all chemical tubing for wear and tear and
replace if needed. Keep the chemical filter clean as needed. If the unit is to be stored for long
periods, remove the battery and charge every thirty days or maintain battery level with a trickle
charger. Remove the nozzle and install the outlet plug. All loose items may be stored in the cabinet
where it can be kept under lock and key.
