A brief introduction into mist fogging systems

During the summer season, people would be constantly trying methods to beat the scorching heat. There are numerous choices like installing a misting system for bringing down the atmospheric temperature to desirable rates. Also you can create a fog system by forcing water through a high pressure pump which would be connected to very fine nozzles. Through this nozzles micro fine water particles would be spurted out. This mist would evaporate instantly leaving a cooler area. The nozzle also filters the incoming water as even small particles would result in clogging the tiny nozzle heads. By using the outdoor mist cooling systems, the temperature can be brought down even to 35 degrees.

The misting systems had been in the charts for many years and have been used as an efficient and cost effective method for environmental control. The misting systems have many applications like outdoor cooling, dust and odor control and even special effects. It can also be used for farm animals cooling and humidification. As we look into the past, it can be noted that the fogging systems were initially used in the livestock industry. Later restaurants took up the application and were spread to the homeowners. From then, it has become a huge favorite among the masses.

For basic misting systems to be used in home settings the minimum requirement would be pressure of at least 70 bar (1000 psi) in order to provide the micron sized water droplets which would give the desired fogging effect. Generally the misting method is used to cool the patios in restaurants and homes. Here, the initial set up would include placing a high pressure misting pump near a water source and attaching a fog line around the perimeter of the area to be cooled. As the water is sprayed from the nozzle, fog is formed in the area. The mist evaporated thereby dropping the temperature at the surrounding area. The misting lines should be placed at a suitable height to facilitate complete evaporation. If the misting systems are properly installed, the effect would be really soothing.

Sometimes it would be surprising to find out that the outside temperature near the mist line systems would drop so much and it would resemble like air conditioning. If you need additional air cooling, you can use misting fans. This would accelerate the cooling process. As the fogging systems make use of flash evaporation, it is an excellent option to drive off heat and add humidification in domestic, commercial as well as industrial applications.

When the temperature rises between 29 degrees to 46 degrees, it is the ideal condition for the mist line systems to produce maximum results provided with low humidity levels. The humidity between 40 to 90 percent would be good for attaining desired results but if the humidity is below 40%, then the outcome would be excellent. If the fogging systems are installed properly, then there would not be any wetting of floors or external surfaces. For use in factories and huge mansions, adequate ventilation is necessary for maintain humidity levels else the desired evaporation will not occur.
