How temperature affects the performance of atomizing micro sprinklers

In the fields of agriculture, gardening and landscape irrigation, temperature, as an important environmental factor, has a significant impact on the performance of atomizing micro-sprinklers.
Temperature directly affects the quality and size of the water mist sprayed by the atomizing micro-sprinklers. As the temperature rises, the viscosity and surface tension of water decrease, making the water mist particles produced by the nozzle smaller and finer. Therefore, in a high temperature environment, the atomizing micro-sprinkler may produce finer water mist, which is conducive to improving the utilization efficiency of water. On the contrary, in a low temperature environment, the viscosity and surface tension of water increase, which may cause the water mist particles produced by the nozzle to be larger, affecting the uniformity and coverage of the water spray.
In addition, temperature also affects the amount and range of water sprayed by the atomizing micro-sprinkler. In a high temperature environment, the evaporation rate of water increases, causing the water mist to disappear faster in the air, which may affect the irrigation effect, especially in dry and hot climates. Therefore, when using atomizing micro-sprinklers in a high temperature environment, it is necessary to increase the frequency of water spraying or adjust the water spraying time to ensure that the plants are adequately supplied with water. In addition, in a low temperature environment, the freezing or condensation of water may affect the normal operation of the atomizing micro-sprinkler, and warming measures need to be taken to prevent freezing.
In addition, temperature also affects soil permeability and the water demand of plants. In high temperature environments, the evaporation rate of the soil increases, and the water demand of plants also increases. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the irrigation plan of the atomizing micro-sprinkler according to temperature changes to meet the water demand of plants under different temperature conditions. In low temperature environments, the soil may remain wet faster, and the irrigation frequency needs to be reduced to avoid plant root rot.
