Spray Bars
The
Icing Research Tunnel has 10 spray bars with 100 nozzles
on each spray bar.
The
spray bars produce supercooled water droplets that form
a 4 ft. high by 6 ft. wide ice cloud.
Each red
circle on the spray bar is a nozzle that produces super
cooled water droplets.
The IRT's
refrigeration system can produce temperatures as low as
-40oF year-round.
