How does mist cooling work?
Mist cooling combines 2 scientific principles:
- Enthalpy of Vaporization: When water evaporates, latent heat energy is used to break the bonds between water molecules, allowing them to transition from a liquid state to a gaseous state. As a result, the surrounding environment is cooled.
- The principle of increased surface area: A larger surface area allows more molecules to escape into the air, facilitating a faster evaporation process.
Combining the scientific principles:
By creating an ultra-fine mist of water droplets, measured in mere microns, almost all the water is exposed to the air immediately. The resulting evaporation is so fast that a tremendous amount of heat is absorbed in the process. By constantly supplying and evaporating mist, rapid cooling can be achieved without getting things wet!
Warehouse Cooling Methods
One of the first steps in building your misting system is determining which method is best for you.
Create a Curtain of Mist!
Adding a mist line around an open door is one highly effective way to provide cooling. The "mist curtain" covering the space will cool air that passes through the doorway, thus eliminating a major source of heat in many warehouses.
This design would normally have nozzles spaced every 2 feet on the line across the top of the opening, and down both sides, but not going lower than 8 feet above the ground.
An Opportunity For Efficiency!
Many warehouses and commercial facilities have some type of fresh air ventilation system. While such ventilation is great at preventing the build of up hazardous dust or fumes, it does very little to cool the area if the fresh air comes in hot.
Adding misters around wall louvers and vents is great way to add effective cooling to ventilation systems that are already present. As the mist evaporates in the air stream, it absorbs heat and sends it right out the exhaust.
Simple and Effective!
By combining the cooling power of mist evaporation with the added airflow, misting fans offer a highly effective cooling solution for any area. The turbulent airflow can increase the evaporation rate of the mist, and fans can be directed to force that cool air in a particular direction, allowing the user to target certain "hotspots." Wetness is also a rare concern, as the added airflow can increase evaporation of any droplets that collect on a surface.
This is very popular in warehouses and other commercial applications due to the general lack of airflow in such places. Center hub misting nozzles help mitigate the risk of wetness, and they use very little water compared to some other misting methods.
Designing Your Warehouse Cooling System
Before we get into specifics, a few things are important to consider for all system types:
- Water Source Requirements: Each Misting kit comes with a feed line that attaches to a standard 3/4" garden hose thread. Most of our misting pumps require a minimum water pressure of 40PSI and a max of 60PSI coming into the pump while it is running. We do have larger attachment types available if needed.
- Power Source Requirements: We have pumps available for 110VAC, 220VAC, and 460VAC power types. Knowing what type of power you have available will be important when choosing the right pump(s).
- Determining Pump Location: The best location for a pump is where power and water sources are in close proximity. Our pumps come standard with a rust-proof, weather-rated enclosure, so it is okay for the pump to be out in the elements, as long as it will not be flooded or submerged. The pump should also be able to sit level, and should not be placed more than 200 feet away from the misting system.
- Water Quality and Filtration: All high pressure systems come standard with a 5-micron sediment filter with a replaceable element. For most municipal water sources, this filtration is sufficient to prevent excessive clogging, cleaning, and replacement of nozzles. However, if you know you have excessively hard water, high calcium content, or your water comes from a well, an additional scale filter should be added. For systems that are 3 GPM or larger, we recommend using our industrial filtration system (which covers sediment and scale) to maintain proper pressure and flow.
- System Control Options: Each enclosed pump comes with a standard on/off toggle switch. However, we offer additional control options for a variety of needs, such as pre-wired timers, thermostats, humidistats, and more. Many industrial customers simply wire our pump into control system already present in the facility, provided that it meets the power requirements. Feel free to contact our experts for assistance in finding the right controller.
- Tubing Type and Color: We offer stainless steel tubing and high-pressure flexible tubing in white, beige, dark brown, and black. Stainless steel may be required in many industrial applications, as flexible tubing may destabilize and blowout in 110°F+ environments.
Warehouse Specifics:
- Many industrial facilities may have limits on how much power and/or water they have available. For example, a facility that has 100 GPM available, but already uses 95 GPM, isn't going to be able to add a 10 GPM misting system. A similar principal applies to electrical current requirements. It is best to already know how much water and power you have available so our design team is aware of those limitations from the beginning.
- Of the various cooling methods mentioned in the section above, a combination of the various methods often works better than just choosing one.
- Industrial facilities may also benefit from adding other types of Mistcooling systems like Roof Cooling or A/C Precooling systems (See the application list below to learn more).
- Warehouse needs vary greatly between customers, so speaking with our team of experts for design and quotation assistance is highly recommended for this application. It's not quite as one-size-fits-all as a residential system may be, and we want to make sure your needs are met properly.
