Mist sprayer apparatus

1. A mister apparatus comprising:

a. a portable mister body having an air inlet and an air outlet;

b. a fan configured to draw air in through the air inlet and force the air out the air outlet;

c. a reservoir configured to contain a liquid, the reservoir having a reservoir outlet;

d. a liquid outlet, the liquid outlet being disposed downstream of the air outlet; and

e. a pump in fluid communication with the reservoir, the pump being operable to move the liquid from the reservoir and out of the liquid outlet such that the liquid exiting the liquid outlet enters into the air exiting the air outlet to form a mist;

wherein the liquid outlet is substantially perpendicular to the air outlet, the liquid outlet constructed to dispense the liquid at an orientation substantially perpendicular to the air exiting the air outlet.

2. The mister apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a first flow rate of the mist when a longitudinal axis of the air outlet is parallel to a ground is substantially the same as a second flow rate when the longitudinal axis of the air outlet is at an upward angle of up to about 90 degrees relative to the ground.

3. The mister apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first flow rate of the mist when the longitudinal axis of the air outlet is parallel to the ground is substantially the same as a third flow rate when the longitudinal axis of the air outlet is at a downward angle of up to about 90 degrees relative to the ground.

4. The mister apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the liquid outlet is not coaxial relative to the air outlet.

5. The mister apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pump is a positive displacement pump.

6. The mister apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a motor operably coupled to the fan.

7. The mister apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a battery coupled to the pump and the motor.

8. The mister apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a switch operably configured to control the fan.

9. The mister apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the switch is operably configured to control the pump.

10. The mister apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising the liquid, wherein the liquid in the reservoir is not pressurized.

11. The mister apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an air pathway extending between an outlet of the fan and the air outlet.

12. The mister apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a first liquid pathway in fluid communication with the reservoir and the pump.

13. The mister apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising a second liquid pathway in fluid communication with the pump and the liquid outlet.

14. The mister apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the mist comprises particles and 40% or more of the particles are larger than 100 μm.

15. The mister apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the mister apparatus is configured to produce a spray having a particle size distribution where smaller particles congregate towards a center of the spray and larger particles congregate towards an outer edge of the spray.

16. The mister apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising the liquid, wherein the liquid is a disinfectant.

17. A mister apparatus comprising:

a. a portable mister body having an air inlet and an air outlet;

b. a fan configured to draw air in through the air inlet and force the air out the air outlet;

c. a motor operably coupled to the fan;

d. a reservoir configured to contain a liquid, the reservoir having a reservoir outlet;

e. a liquid outlet, the liquid outlet being disposed downstream of the air outlet; and

f. a positive displacement pump in fluid communication with the reservoir, the positive displacement pump being operable to move the liquid from the reservoir and out of the liquid outlet such that the liquid exiting the liquid outlet enters into the air exiting the air outlet to form a mist,

wherein the liquid outlet is substantially perpendicular to the air outlet, the liquid outlet constructed to dispense the liquid at an orientation substantially perpendicular to the air exiting the air outlet; and

wherein the mist comprises particles and 40% or more of the particles are larger than 100 μm.

18. The mister apparatus of claim 17 , further comprising the liquid, wherein the liquid in the reservoir is not pressurized.

19. The mister apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the mister apparatus is configured to produce a spray having a particle size distribution where smaller particles congregate towards a center of the spray and larger particles congregate towards an outer edge of the spray.

20. The mister apparatus of claim 17 , further comprising the liquid, wherein the liquid is a disinfectant.
