Frequently Asked Questions

The Mist&Fog systems are capable of reducing the levels of suspended dust until levels between 2 and 3 times below the maximum level allowed by the regulations in force.

The facilities for dust removal in a closed space are made at heights between 8 and 12 meters. The flexibility of the system allows even spray at higher and lower altitudes varying the drop projected.

For outdoor installations is sprayed at a very short distance from the sources generators of dust.

A drain valve would be recommended in all the facilities to remove the water from the installation when it is not in operation. In this way; whenever we use water from the local network, we remove the risk of legionella.

In addition the drain valve, reduces the risk that the minerals from the water block the sprayers when water is dry as well as the dripping of the nozzles.

A good filtration is always necessary for a correct use and operation of the Mist&Fog systems, it filters the solid impurities in the water before it passes through the pressure pump, prolonging its operation and cleaning of the system and of the sprayers.

You can also install other filters to reduce the levels of lime or to eliminate bacteriological weapons.

The Mist&Fog systems have a low consumption, using approximately 8 litres of water for each 600 m2 of surface, and minute of operation.

Mist&Fog system requires low maintenance, we must only clean the spray nozzles and ensure the functioning of the filters and drain valves. When using a pressure pump oil should be changed every 500 hours of use.

Better performance of the chiller or condensing (higher COP).
Longer duration of the machinery to be less forced.
Lower consumption (up to 30% less).
Less maintenance by work less forced.
Greater comfort in premises with A.A infra-sized.
Rapid return on investment.
Easy installation.

The Mist&Fog spraying systems represent a good solution for the pre-cooling of inlet air of cooling or condensing machines, because can reach an energy saving of up to 30%.

The air conditioning can represent up to 70 per cent of the electrical cost of a commercial building in summer, moreover, when outside temperatures are extreme, climate units work forced demanding increased maintenance and can be locked (power break).

Another problem is many of the facilities of air conditioning are not adequately dimensioned (below rated) for the needs of the local, and that the units work forced requires greater efforts in its maintenance.

The evaporative cooling is the most natural way to cool down.

Mist&Fog sprays water at 70 bars creating droplets that are emitted to the air ventilation.

When the warm air is humidified, transfers heat from the temperature, getting cool.

Is the way to play the sea breeze. We can lower the temperature until 20ºC without any cost (from 45ºC/10%HR up to 22ºC/90%H.R.).

The temperature that we can reduce depends on the conditions of the outside air.

The lower the temperature at which they operate the equipment of air conditioning the greater is its performance.
The lower the temperature at which they operate the equipment air conditioning lower consumption.
Reducing the temperature of the inlet air to save energy and money.
The Mist&Fog systems allow to reduce the air temperature until 20ºC. with minimum energy consumption.

The acronym COP means “Coefficient of performance”.
Ratio between Kw of cold / KW of electricity consumption.
The higher COP more energy efficient will be.
The COP is used to classify the energy categories.
The COP of a machine varies depending on the outside temperature.

Numerous studies have certified, the theoretical and practical achievements from the installation of a system of pre-cooling in condensing and air-coolers by air.

As notable examples of these studies, it is necessary to highlight the work done by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2009 “Application of water mist pre-cooling on air-cooled chillers”, as well as the work done by the Tulane University, California.

Both studies, in addition to other similar, provide the technical justification in theory and practice of the benefits of the system to the pre-cooling through adiabatic cooling systems the air-conditioning equipment.

It is cool the air from the ventilation adiabatically. To achieve this, we spray fine droplets of water at high pressure, filtered and treated in the intake air to evaporate reduce the air temperature up to 10ºC. It is important to achieve a good and fair quality of water spray.

According to all studies undertaken and published on this type of solution, we can get to reduce by up to 30% consumption kwh of the condensing and/or cooling. The consumption of water and energy of the system pump decreases this savings between 5-10%. Thus the total savings will be between 20% and 25%.

Without a doubt, the system allows you to reduce the air from the ventilation outside, makes the unit provide up to 15% more performance. Thus allows to get the temperature for which it was designed even on days of extreme heat.

Any machine that work less forced requires less maintenance than the machines working to full performance. This helps to ensure a controlled wear while working in hot and aggressive environments.

Yes we can. When the machines are at full performance, the return pressure increases and if they exceed the limit of security it stops automatically, to avoid greater effects. Pre-cooling the air we manage to avoid this situation and ensure the proper functioning of the machines.

Through radio-electromagnetic low frequency waves (5-6 Mhz) emitted through the water ,our system is able to transform the form insoluble of the lime (calcite) in aragonite, its form not encrusted. Without altering the organoleptic properties of the water, to be a physical treatment and non-chemical.

Like any system that spray water (showers, fountains, anti-fire systems) is to welcome the implementation of the legislation in force for the prevention of legionellosis. In any case, our solution lacks deposit of water storage and their lines are completely empty when stopping the pump to bring a drain system of it.

Indeed, as all energy saving measures is considered to be effective in multiple grants from the Public Administrations and Governments. These subsidies already recognize expressly the benefit of this system.

Always depend on factors such as kwh price, geographical area, hours of operation, efficiency of the machines, etc. In any case the medium term studied ranges between 1 and 2 years of operation, all this without counting possible subsidies.
