THE SCIENCE

By pressurizing water up to 1000 psi and forcing it through a specially designed nozzle, billions of tiny water droplets can be created. Each droplet is smaller than the size of a grain of salt and can measure as small as 5 microns in diameter. The droplets are so light they actually suspend themselves in the air. This process allows for a reduction in the ambient temperature of up to 30 degrees fahrenheit making these systems ideal for outdoor cooling.

If the droplets are enclosed in an area such as a greenhouse, humidity levels up to 100% are achievable allowing fog systems to provide precise and reliable humidity control. Because the droplets are so small, they also have the ability to remove small particles from the air making fog systems a very effective method of dust and odor control.

THE ART

Mist systems were originally introduced in the 1950’s for cattle and poultry cooling. The concept has since expanded to include hundreds of specialty uses including humidification, dust and odor control, greenhouse propagation, specialty air filtration, fire suppression, special effects, and more. For a more detailed look at its many uses, see the Applications section of this website.

These diverse systems are used for commercial, industrial and residential applications. Although the most common use for mist systems is still outdoor cooling, new and exciting uses continue to be developed. Industries such as restaurants, theme parks, metal and concrete manufacturing, produce storage facilities, dairy and poultry farms, zoos, amusement parks, wood and textile plants all can benefit from the unique attributes associated with mist systems.

Fogco has been the leader in many of these expanding applications. Whether special effects are used within a landscape project (Mistscaping) or the fog effect is included in a pool water feature (FogDeck), Fogco continues to use its experience and its customers input to develop useful high quality mist system products to enhance and improve its users quality of life.
