Thermal Fogging Systems

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
