Liquid and solid particle seeders for the most demanding applications.

Scitek Consultants has extensive experience of experimental fluid dynamics and of all the major laser diagnostic techniques, particularly in demanding and hostile environments.

Where commercially available hardware was not found to be suitable for producing the best possible results, Scitek developed its own. Our seeder designs have been developed to the point that we believe them to be superior to the alternative products in a wide range of applications and we can now offer them as high quality products.

We produce a range of liquid and powder seeders as standard and we are happy to supply bespoke seeders engineered for individual requirements.  Our standard range is as follows:

LS-10

Liquid seeder with remote control of seeding density

PS-10 & PS-20

Powder seeders for high temperature applications to 10 bar and 20 bar working pressure

LS-HP

Large scale wind-tunnel seeders

Our seeders have been used for:

  • Droplet Seeding for PIV and LDA

  • Flow visualisation

  • Seeding for Mie Scattering combustion studies of flame shape

  • Aerosol research

  • Controlled oil mist for lubrication

  • High temperature Combustion studies

  • High pressure flow applications (up to 20 bar)

  • Seeding in Hostile Environments
