Fogco’s Outdoor Misting Systems produce water mist and fog for a range of applications ranging from temperature control, insect repelling, and suppression of dust particles, to ambient visual effects. The system creates mist using high-pressure water pumps that force water up to 1,000psi (6 894, kPa) through tiny nozzles, converting a stream of water into droplets as small as 5mic. At this size the atomized droplets can undergo “flash evaporation”, drawing heat from the environment and reducing ambient temperature by up to 40°F (4.4°C) depending on the relative humidity. As a cooling system, water mist can be employed in any number of configurations to affect localized temperature. It can be integrated with a fan system to produce microclimates. As a humidification system, misters can maintain an ideal moisture content level, such as for greenhouse applications, as well as reduce static electricity. Outdoor Misting Systems can also be employed to suppress dust, odor, and insects. A Fogco System can produce a high concentration of 10mic fog droplets that are the optimum size for the attraction and suppression of dust particles, ranging in size from 0.1–1000mic. Fog systems can eliminate odors associated with solid waste treatment facilities, microbial decomposition of animal waste, and noxious volatile compounds. Some of the more common problems include carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and methane. And although odorless, carbon dioxide and methane can be lethal. Fog system applications for odor suppression include: chemical plants, solid waste and waste transfer stations, construction sites, landfills, composting facilities, etc. Mixing the mist water source with a natural insecticide, such as Pyrethrum, an extract from the Chrysanthemum flower, can repel insects, including mosquitoes. The misting systems are also utilized to create ambient visual effects. Misting nozzles embedded in the surround of a pool can create the dramatic visual effect of fog rolling over water. Fog can be used for many configurations integrated with lighting to create, for example, a rainbow effect. Manufacturer: Fogco Systems, Inc.
