DE-ICING SPRAYER
A liquid sprayer system is capable of efficiently spraying liquids, such as de-icing brine solution by precisely controlling the flow rate of an electrically-driven pump without need for returning excess flow to a storage tank. The liquid sprayer includes the storage tank, the pump, a variable-speed electric motor, a controller, and spray nozzles. The pump receives a liquid from the storage tank and directs it to the spray nozzles, from which the liquid is emitted toward a ground surface. The controller adjusts the speed of the electric motor, thereby adjusting the liquid flow rate, in response to at least one control input. The control input(s) may include a user-selected flow rate, a ground speed of the liquid sprayer, a remotely-selected flow rate based on current or predicted weather conditions, detected road temperature or contamination, a planned route of the vehicle, and a size or operating configuration of the spray nozzles.
