SALT FOG GENERATOR TO TEST CHAMBER Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: testing materials. SUBSTANCE: generator has housing 1, suction 2 and mixing 22 fans, system 3 for control of working medium parameters, bypass channel 4, sectionalized water heater 5, accumulating reservoir 9, heaters 11, 19, 21, 24, temperature sensors 6, 7, 10, 18, 20 and sensors 8, 14, 15 for sensing level of regulating valves 12, 16, 25, circulation pump 13, air humidifier 17, working vessel 23, standby vessel 26 for corrosion solution, vessel 27 for returning and reuse of working medium condensate with filter 28. The salt fog generator is coupled to test chamber 31 with specimen 30 mounted in grips of machine 29. Control system 3 is adapted for setting parameters of the working medium and operating modes of individual components. The salt bog generator is characterized in that accumulating reservoir 9 with heater and temperature sensor are connected in its circuit to provide independent switching-on of the circulation system and enhanced-speed heating of the water up to a required temperature without delaying the test chamber starting up. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency and reliability. 1 dwg
