Abstract
The cultivation of agricultural land represents an important field of interest for all countries because through this area basic food is provided for human communities. Agricultural machines are considered part of special mechanical equipments category intended to perform mechanized works in farmlands, in order to obtain the optimal harvests. This paper shows a functional description of sprayer installation model which can be attached to the agricultural tractors. It represents an auxiliary installation capable of preparing the fluid mixtures to achieve the application of different sanitary treatments (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides) on field crops, using the hydraulic system of the agricultural tractor to which is connecting. The mounting solution for the installation is at the rear side of the tractor being the model widely used on most constructive pattern of agricultural tractors. Also a CFD analysis it was conducted on two nozzle models that can be used for treatment application on crops in agricultural fields. The results are presented for each nozzle model highlighting the fluid velocity substance coverage and total pressure for each model.
