Fog Cooling Systems

A series of stainless steel tubing arrays distribute demineralized water under high (2000 to 3500 psi) pressure to specially designed nozzles. The nozzles, in turn, atomize the water into droplets. Droplet size is dependent upon the pressure (the higher the pressure, the smaller the droplet; smaller droplets, in turn, evaporate more quickly). The shorter the residence time of the water droplets (i.e. prior to entering the compressor of the combustion turbine), the smaller the droplet needs to be to ensure complete evaporation.
