Which droplet size range is ideal for ULV foggers?

The ideal droplet size range for ultra-low volume (ULV) foggers is indeed 8-15 microns. This range is optimal because droplets within this size can effectively penetrate various surfaces and provide maximum coverage for dispersing agents, including odor control chemicals or disinfectants.

Droplets that are too small, such as those in the 1-2 micron range, tend to remain airborne longer rather than settling on surfaces, which can limit their efficacy for odor control. Conversely, droplets that are too large, like those in the 10-20 micron range, may not achieve the desired dispersal and could lead to uneven application, resulting in reduced effectiveness of the substance being applied.

The 8-15 micron range strikes a precise balance; these droplets can effectively settle on surfaces while still being capable of remaining airborne for a suitable duration to ensure effective treatment of the area. Thus, this droplet size range is crucial for achieving optimal results in odor control applications using ULV foggers.
