The spray chamber experiment was conducted in the different size of nozzle in order to
determine the effect of the droplet size toward the efficiency of spray chamber. As stated in the
Table 2 and Table 3, the size nozzle was 520µm for the valve 1, C1 while for the C2, valve 2 was
290µm. The weight of sample loaded was same for both experiment which is 1000g. Therefore,
both of them was same in pressure and the air blower speed which is 2 Bar and 20Hz respectively.
The different between C1 and C2 was the collection of the efficiency. It was stated that the
efficiency of the C2 was more effective compare the C1, where 96.5% for C2 and 92.6% for C1.
It is because both of them were different in weight of sample collected. In addition, the surface
area of droplet at C2 was higher compare to C1. Thus, the collection of samples was more
efficiency for C2 compare to the C1.
Calculation Details:

Efficiency of spray chamber were calculated using the formula below:

Actual weight of tray =1106g

Weight of sample 1 (Nozzle size - 520µm (Nozzle 1, N1))
= 2032g-1106g
= 926g
Weigh of sample 2 (Nozzle size - 290µm (Nozzle 2, N2))
= 2003g-1038g
= 965g
