Abstract
A centralized control unit directs compressed air towards fog generators in different repellant locations to distribute atomized bird repellant. The control unit can contain a timer module that controls the time, duration, and recurrence of the mist pulses to optimize bird repellant use. Multiple bird repellant storage tanks can be placed in each fog generator, or a single, common bird repellant storage tank can be used to deliver bird repellant to each fog generator.
Claims39
A method for distributing a repellant fog, comprising:
- fluidly coupling a first venturi nozzle in a first dispenser to a first container holding an amount of an aqueous repellant;
- fluidly coupling a second venturi nozzle in a second dispenser to at least one of the first and a second container holding another amount of the aqueous repellant;
- fluidly coupling a source of compressed air to the dispensers in parallel fashion to produce (a) first and second vacuums at the first and second dispensers, and (b) first and second fogs at the first and second nozzles, respectively;
- positioning the first venturi nozzle to atomize repellant into a first repellant location;
- and
- positioning the second venturi nozzle to atomize repellant into a second repellant location.
A system that distributes a bird repellant fog, comprising:
- an air compressor;
- a first pneumatic passage coupled to a first venturi nozzle and the air compressor;
- a second pneumatic passage coupled to a second venturi nozzle and the air compressor;
- a first liquid passage coupled to the first venturi nozzle and a first bird repellant container;
- and
- a second liquid passage coupled to the second venturi nozzle and at least one of the first bird repellant container and a second bird repellant container.
The system of claim 25, further comprising a first gage coupled to the first pneumatic passage.
