Compressed Air/Water Humidifiers
Armstrong Cool-Fog Systems
Armstrong International, Inc., is a leading supplier of hydro-pneumatic fogging systems for both humidification and evaporative cooling. Its systems were first developed in response to industry needs for humidification systems that would be:
- Energy-efficient
- Low-maintenance
- Reliable
- Precisely controlled
- Clean
Since the first installation in 1977, Armstrong’s Cool-Fog Systems have been established with professional engineers and industry as a viable and desirable technology. Armstrong Cool-Fog has humidified more than 100 million square feet of space, including corporate facilities, museums, hospitals, institutional facilities, semiconductor fabrication spaces and electronics manufacturing installations.
What is fogging?
Armstrong Cool-Fog Systems are humidification systems that atomize water particles to produce fog. When the fog is sprayed into a warm, dry air stream or space, the water readily evaporates without the addition of heat. The process is also referred to as evaporative humidification.
Armstrong Cool-Fog Systems may also be used for the purpose of air cooling. Since no heat is added to evaporate the water, there is a cooling effect that is directly proportional to the amount of water evaporated. This is also referred to as adiabatic or constant enthalpy cooling and humidification.
Benefits
- Cool-Fog Systems reduce heating costs, as do all forms of humidification
- Efficient use of internal heat gain and waste heat can reduce energy costs by up to 90% compared to steam humidification
- Cool-Fog can reduce economizer humidification load and associated energy costs by 50–60%
- Efficient use of warm, dry outside air reduces cooling costs
- Cool-Fog provides an ultra-clean humidification source
- Smallest water particle size means highest evaporation efficiency and the greatest energy savings
- Smallest water particle size also means the driest-running fogger
- Reduced maintenance costs, with no boiler or steam distribution system
- Reduced maintenance and improved reliability over other evaporative systems
- Instant and precise control response
- Quick and easy installation
- Armstrong quality
