How does Aves fog work?

Drinking quality water is passed through the filtration system to feed a high-pressure pump. Which pumps water at 1000 PSI, through delivery tubes & nozzles to convert it, into billions of tiny droplets, 10-15 micron in size. This non wetting fog evaporates instantly, after absorbing heat drawn from the surrounding air, to cool & humidify the environment. The impact on temperature reduction largely depends upon relative humidity (RH %). Lower the RH higher will be the temperature reduction & vice versa as tabulated below.

There are three types of misting systems depending upon working pressure:

a) High Pressure (HP)

HP systems work at 700-850 psi, the droplets produced through HP system are the finest i.e. 10-15 micron, which is termed as fog.

We use top quality, oil lubricated, Italian & Chinese pumps for HP systems, for long lasting performance.

Only high quality push lock accessories (Nickel platted brass material) & tubes (SS or Nylon PA12) are used to cater pressure up to 1500 psi.

b) Mid Pressure (MP)

MP systems work at 150-180 psi, the droplets produced through MP system are 30-45 micron in size, which is termed as Mist.

MP systems are suitable for outdoor use, especially when the budget is limited.

We use top grade Chinese pumps for MP systems. Top quality MP push lock accessories (Nylon, PU, PE materials) & tubes (Nylon material) are used to cater pressure up to 500 psi.

c) Low Pressure (LP)

These systems work at 20-40 psi, the droplets produced through LP system are 200-350 micron, which is termed as Spray.

These are suitable for drip irrigation, spray watering the vegetation & bathing cows.

Low quality Chinese pumps, push lock accessories & tubes are used to cater pressure up to 100 psi.

We do not install Low Pressure systems due to their coarse spray which results in wetting, lot of complaints & hassle.

To ensure optimum performance we install High Pressure & Mid Pressure Systems only.

 

RH controller can be applied to maintain specific air humidity required for indoor installations

Use of top grade Japanese, Italian, Taiwanese & Chinese parts depicts ”Quality is our utmost priority”.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where is fogging & misting more effective, indoors or outdoors?

High pressure fogging is equally effective for both, however mid pressure misting is suitable only for outdoor use.

Is it safe for make-up, paint, wood, metal, & electric appliances?

HP fog is absolutely safe because nothing gets wet. The use of on/off timer should well be appropriate. Additionally, RH controller is used to keep humidity at a safer range.

Is it effective in humid season?

HP Aves Fog is effective in humid season as well, but the cooling impact is comparably lower than what you will experience in the dry season.

At RH 70% – 80%, maximum heat reduction may be 3C.

At RH 40% – 50% maximum heat reduction may be 8C.

Can anyone install it?

It looks simple to install, practically it is entirely opposite. There is no short cut to competency, installation requires skills & experience otherwise misting can become a nightmare. Therefore we do not recommend DIY.

Is it safe for health?

It is absolutely safe, in fact it helps respiratory system, just like nebulization. Aves fog ensures fast recovery against flu, cough, Asthma and dust / pollen allergies.

Does water quality affect its performance?

Ideally drinking quality water must be used i.e. TDS level below 350 ppm. Higher TDS level means higher salt content, which may clog nozzles more frequently.

Do we have to replace the clogged nozzles?

Clogged nozzles can be cleaned by dipping their heads in concentrated acetic acid for 10 min.

How much water is consumed?

Water consumption varies, depending upon weather conditions, pump size & number of nozzles applied. More water will be consumed in hot & dry season. For example: 1L/min capacity fog pump may consume approx. 10L/H in a normal season, on contrary 45L/H in dry season.

What can we do if water contains higher TDS level?

A reverse osmosis plant can be used for desalination. Various capacity RO plants are available according to the water consumption.

Does it require maintenance?

Fogging & misting systems should be serviced at the start of every summer season. While during the season, periodic replacement of filters & HP Pump’s oil is required. Occasional cleaning of nozzles may also be required, depending upon water quality.

How about using cool water instead of stored warm water?

Cool water can be used however, water temperature does not have a great influence upon the cooling impact through evaporation. At 32º C it takes 2.268 kilocalories to evaporate a gallon of 10º C water and 2.192 kilocalories to evaporate a gallon of 32 º C water. This means 3.5% more heat can be reduced, but it will consume lot of electricity, to chill 32C water up to 10C.

What is the expected life?

Life varies for various parts, the pump is the heart of this system & the most expensive part as well. HP Italian pump can last for 8-10 years if maintained properly & serviceable parts replaced in time. While MP pump may last for 3-4 years under proper use. MP Nozzles might need to be replaced if choked after some time, while HP nozzle last longer. HP & MP tubes are rarely replaced if installed indoors, for outdoor use they may last for 4 years. HP accessories are made of nickel platted brass material hence last longer than MP accessories, which are made of Nylon & PU, MP accessories may last for 4 years.

What is mist?

Fine water droplets averaging 25-40 micron in size are termed as mist, often confused with fog, which is technically much more finner than mist. One can produce mist artificially through a mid-pressure misting system that operates at 150-200 PSI. Mist can float in the air for 15 seconds, after which it either evaporates or falls to the ground.

What is fog?

Very fine water droplets averaging 8-15 micron in size is termed as fog. It can be produced artifically, through a high-pressure misting system that operates at 800-1000 PSI. Fog can float in the air for 40 seconds, after which it evaporates completely.

What is spray & rain?

Course water droplets averaging 80-250 micron in size & above are termed as spray or rain. This can be produced artificially through a low-pressure misting system that operates at 25-40 PSI. Spray & rain droplets are effective for bathing cows & birds and spraying vegetation. You cannot expect spray to work like mist & fog.

What do GPM & LPM stand for?

GPM stands for gallon per minute. It is a unit of measurement of water flow rate in gallons in period of one minute.
LPM stands for litter per minute. It is a unit of measurement of water flow rate in litters in a period of one minute.

What is the difference between PSI, MPa, KPa & Bar ?

PSI stands for pounds per square inch. MPa stands for megapascal, KPa stands for kilopascal. PSI, MPa, KPa & Bar are units of measurement of pressure, i.e., the force with which the water is pumped by a misting system. 1bar=14.504PSI. 1bar=100KPa 1bar=0.1MPa. 1MPa=145PSI

How much cooling can be expected from a high-pressure misting system?

Cooling efficiency depends upon relative humidity (RH) lower the RH higher will be the temperature reduction. With RH below 40% the heat reduction is around 8-10C. For RH 40-55% the heat reduction is around 6-8C & for RH 56-70% the heat reduction may be around 3-6C.

How do misting systems suppress dust & pollen?

Millions of tiny fog droplet (averaging 10 micron in size) are attached with air pollutants like dust & pollen particles to make them heavier to stay airbourne. This unique air filtration purifies the air from pollutants as well as pathogens.

How much water is consumed by a misting system?

Water consumption varies with various models. For example, a 0.5LPM system can utilize 15L water per hour, while 4LPM system can consume 120L water per hour.

How much energy is consumed by misting systems?

Aves fog systems are energy efficient. These consume 0.15 units or kw/h to cool 1500 sq.ft. outdoor area & 0.4 units or kw/h for 3000 sq.ft. outdoor area. While for 3000 sq.ft. indoor area, the electricity consumption is as little as 0.15 unit or kw/h, i.e. 50 times less compared to air conditioning.

What sequence should be set at the misting system timer?

Start it with 10 seconds on & 20 seconds off. Step up on time eg, 15 seconds or more if you want to improve the cooling impact & vice versa. You can increase the off time to control too much fog. A balanced combination of both i.e. on time & off time serves the purpose. However, you may need readjustment with the changing weather.

Can i achieve a fogging effect with a low pressure misting system?

No it aint work, a low-pressure misting system works at 40 PSI to produce 80-200 micron sized water droplets, which is termed as spray or rain. To achieve foggy effects, one always needs a high pressure misting system that works at 800-1000 PSI.

Why is there so much variation in the price of various misting systems?

The price varies with the quality of components used. You get what you pay for, good quality is not cheap. High-pressure misting systems are most dependable & the most expensive as well. Second comes the mid-pressure systems with mid price range as well as effectiveness. Third stands the low-pressure systems with low price & compromised effectivity.

Considering higher cost of high pressure misting, can i opt for mid pressure misting?

On a hot summer day, mid pressure mist cooling is better than nothing at all. Definitely, you can go for mid pressure mist if affordability is a problem
