9.1. Mounting Kit:-This includes a padded Bracket which holds the Atomiser around the Motor Housing, leaving the Atomiser's vent holes clear. There is also a mounting hole for a Solenoid Valve. The additional mounting Plate provides mounting points for the Solenoid Valve, Metering Valve and Dosing Valve

9.2. Solenoid Valve:-This is manufactured for Newland Design by KIP Inc. of Connecticut, USA, and is a stainless steel normally-closed 12 Volts DC valve with a low-power coil (only 2.5 Watts).

The Valve's coil has spade terminals to which may be connected flying leads from the Atomiser carrying the regulated 12 VDC supply output by the Newland Design Power Supply.

The Solenoid Valve may be mounted close to the Atomiser using the Mounting Kit. If mounted this way, there is only a small volume (~5 ml) of liquid between the output of the Valve, and the end of the Feed Tube in the Atomiser, which is generally expelled by the deceleration of the Atomiser on switch-off, so ensuring virtually no liquid left stagnant within the Atomiser.

The same Valve is available with other coil voltages - eg. 24 VDC, 230 VAC, 115 VAC, if required.

9.3. Metering Valve:- This is manufactured for Newland Design by Key Industries Inc. of USA and includes a Needle Valve to control the flow rate through the Atomiser, and a flow indicator working by ball float within a tapered tube. The material is polycarbonate. The principle of operation limits the accuracy of flow measurement to use with aqueous liquids. The standard maximum flow is 18 litres/hour, but other scales are available. Maximum input pressure: 6 barg.

The Metering Valve requires to be mounted vertically, with the input at the bottom; the Mounting Kit provides for this.

9.4. Hose Restrictor:- This is a hose clamp operated by a thumbscrew. It fits around the Flexible Tubing (O/D 8mm) available from Newland Design, to give control of flow rate. This method of flow control is not as precise as the Metering Valve, but it makes no contact with the input liquid, and is suitable for non-aqueous liquids.

9.5. Dosing Valve:- This is manufactured for Newland Design by Conoflow Ltd. of Dorset, UK. and is essentially a very precise needle valve, allowing close control over very low flows. As little as one droplet per 10 seconds may be reliably dispensed by this valve. This Valve is manufactured from stainless steel with a PTFE bush. Maximum input pressure: 6 barg.

9.6. Flexible Tubing:- This is Food/Medical grade PVC tubing (8 mm O/D, 4.8 mm bore) which fits the ¼" hose tail inputs to the Atomiser, Solenoid Valve, Metering Valve and Dosing Valve. It also fits through the Hose Restrictor.

9.7. Spare Spray Heads & Feed Tubes:- The porous Spray Heads used in the Atomiser are disposable (see section 6, "Cleaning & Maintenance"). Spare Spray Heads and spare Feed Tubes are available from Newland Design. The standard material for the Spray Head is polypropylene, but some other plastics, and porous stainless steel are available to special order.
