All Water Concepts misting systems can bring a fresh relief to your manufacturing and indoor production facilities. By using our misting systems in these indoor work environments, we can provide a natural and inexpensive cooling method cutting the use of air conditioners from the monthly cost of your business. Guaranteeing, that nothing gets wet while it is creating a fresh environment for your production team with a natural odor control and dust preventer.

Perhaps you are already aware of how much high temperatures are costing your business. If not, you may be interested in what NASA found out when they conducted their own study, CR-1205-1, “A Compendium of Human Responses to the Aerospace Environment”.

This definitive report shows a strong correlation between the effective temperature and human productivity. At 27 degrees C, work output drops by 18% while accuracy suffers by 40%!

While productivity is obviously the most costly product of a hot, uncomfortable work environment, that’s not the end of it. Your bottom line also suffers from:

• Low morale, caused by heat discomfort
• Tardiness and absenteeism
• Turnover and the associated training and discharge costs
• Reduced attention to safety
• Potential health issues , such as dust

Evaporative pre-cooling using micro droplets is a proven and affordable method of enhancing the efficiency of air-cooled refrigeration and air-conditioning plants. Air-conditioning can account for 60% – 80% of a building’s monthly power consumption. By artificially lowering the ambient temperature outside using our misting systems, immediate energy savings can be achieved. During this time of escalating energy costs, investing in energy saving technology is imperative.

Evaporation is the process through which water changes from a liquid to a vapour. For this to take place the bond that holds the water molecules together must be broken. This occurs when the water molecule absorbs a sufficient amount of heat. When the heat is absorbed from an air stream the temperature of the air falls.

The evaporative cooling process begins as water is passed through a pre-treatment phase that de-calcifies the water and then a micro filtration system. The filtered water then flows through a direct displacement high-pressure pump which increases pressure to 60-1,500 PSI. Maintaining a suitable high pressure is important to achieve micro droplets small enough to flash evaporate.

An environment friendly additive is dosed into the supply water which breaks the surface tension of the water. This enhances evaporation by an additional 30%. Finally, the clean, pressurized water travels through high-pressure tubing to nozzles strategically placed around the system to be cooled.

A properly designed misting system will cause instant evaporation of the micro droplets into the air stream. The mixture of water and air reaching the condenser coil will be in a gas phase and at a considerably lower temperature. This will increase heat transfer and cooling capacity which results in decreased energy consumption. To achieve the best possible results many factors should be taken into consideration. Some factors to consider are nozzle design, size and placement, optimum water quality and pressure, system control and safety features……………….all of which is of the plan from our first meeting. Be leery of companies just selling the systems as the system may not be what you would need at all.
