Abstract:
A spraying system for a road construction machine includes an emulsion fluid delivery system including an emulsion fluid supply, an emulsion pump, at least one spray bar with one or more nozzles, and flow conduits arranged to convey emulsion through the emulsion fluid delivery system. The spraying system may include a cleaning fluid tank containing a cleaning fluid, where the cleaning fluid tank is fluidly coupled to the emulsion fluid delivery system during a cleaning process. The spraying system may also include a flow monitoring system configured to monitor the amount of cleaning fluid delivered from the cleaning fluid tank to the emulsion fluid delivery system, where the flow monitoring system is configured to provide an indication regarding the amount of cleaning fluid delivered to the emulsion fluid delivery system during the cleaning process.
