Forced air pesticide vaporizer
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a chemical vaporizer device for the purposes of vaporizing and controllably dispensing a pesticide material into a bee hive to kill varroa mites and other predatory pests that threaten honey bees. The device comprises an elongated cylinder having a proximal and distal end, a compressed air inlet, air pressure controller and heating element. The distal end of the device comprises a diffuser outlet and a coiled heating element, which is adapted to rapidly vaporize granular pesticide material in the cylinder while the compressed air discharges the vapor in a constant manner and in higher busts on demand. The user supports the body of the device while controlling the outgoing vapor pesticide by modulating the compressed air controller, which actuates an air valve in the controller. Material is fed into the device proximal end, vaporized and forcibly discharged through the distal end and into a bee hive.
1. A pressurized vapor dispensing device, comprising:
an elongated and hollow body structure having a proximal end, distal end and a central control interface;
a compressed air connection for accepting pressurized air into said hollow body structure and directing said vapor through said distal end;
said control interface further comprising:
a first pressure valve connecting to a first air pressure nozzle within said hollow body structure being directed toward said body distal end;
a second pressure valve connecting to a second air pressure nozzle within said hollow body structure being directed toward said body distal end;
said second pressure valve diverting incoming pressurized around said first valve and through said second nozzle;
said body proximal end adapted to accept material there through to travel through said hollow body;
said distal end comprising an electrical heating element for heating said material into a vapor.
2. The device as recited in claim 1 , wherein said first pressure valve is controlled by a rotatable control knob to set a constant outgoing pressure for said vapor to be expelled through said body distal end.
3. The device as recited in claim 1 , wherein said first pressure valve is controlled by a push button to create a burst of high pressure vapor through said body distal end.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein said control interface further comprises an electrical connector for accepting power for said electrical heating element, said electrical power being routed through a conduit to said heating element.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein said distal end further comprises a nozzle.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein said distal end further comprises a diffuser.
7. A pressurized vapor dispensing device, comprising:
an elongated and hollow body structure having a proximal end, distal end and a central control interface;
said body proximal end adapted to accept material there through to travel through said hollow body;
said distal end comprising an electrical heating element for heating said material into a vapor;
a compressed air connection for accepting pressurized air into said hollow body structure and directing said vapor through said distal end; and
a pressure valve, said pressure valve having means for actuating said pressure valve to create a burst of high pressure vapor through said body distal end.
8. The device as recited in claim 7 , wherein said means for actuating said pressure valve to create a burst of high pressure through said body distal end comprises a button attached to said control interface.
9. The device of claim 7 , wherein said control interface further comprises an electrical connector for accepting power for said electrical heating element, said electrical power being routed through a conduit to said heating element.
10. The device of claim 7 , wherein said distal end further comprises a nozzle.
11. The device of claim 7 , wherein said distal end further comprises a diffuser.
