What is required for hydraulic agitation of the mixture in the aircraft spray tank?

Hydraulic agitation in an aircraft spray tank is essential for ensuring that the chemical mixture remains homogeneous and effective during application. Sufficient pump output capacity is critical because it determines the volume of liquid being circulated within the tank. This movement is what creates the agitation necessary to keep the components of the mixture well-blended, preventing sedimentation or separation that could affect the efficacy of the application.

Proper pump output not only facilitates adequate mixing but also ensures that the spray system works efficiently, delivering a consistent and even flow of the mixture to the spray nozzles. If the output capacity is insufficient, it could lead to issues such as clogging, uneven distribution, and ultimately, ineffective pesticide application.

While other factors, such as baffles, ventilation, and external power sources might contribute to system efficiency or safety, they do not address the fundamental need for adequate hydraulic agitation driven by an appropriately powerful pump.
