What is a fog system and what does it do?

Fog systems include a length of tubing attached to, suspended from a structure, or incorporated into a fan, specially designed fog nozzles, and a high pressure pump designed to increase the water pressure to 1,000 pounds per square inch (PSI). At this pressure, the water is atomized into micron size droplets (average droplet size is 10 micron) that flash evaporate and create significant temperature reduction.

When used in an enclosed environment, such as a greenhouse, the system will initially create cooling. Over time, the humidity level increases and high levels of humidity can be artificially created and maintained. This is especially useful for greenhouse propagation, removal of static electricity in electronics production facilities, or removal of dust and odors for many industrial and agricultural applications.
