      Air Humidification Using High Pressure Water

Air humidification that does away with fans and pressurized air. This was the idea behind FinestFog  entry in 2002 with an energy-saving and hygienically impeccable high-pressure air humidification system. Using FinestFog’s unique high-pressure nozzles, FINESTFOG systems humidify any spatial volume, discreetly and virtually inaudibly. Today well over 1000 FinestFog  systems provide an optimal climate for people and materials in production and office spaces in Germany, Europe and the world over.

The Pump

The high-pressure pump generates a uniform pressure (80 bar) to supply pressurized water to the individual humidification zones. Available pump ratings range from 120 to 780 litres/hour. Motor and pump rpm are controlled via the pressure sensor and the frequency converter. The pump only delivers as much water as is needed at any moment. This saves energy and wear and tear on the pump.

The Nozzle

The FinestFog single-medium nozzle is at the heart of every  FinestFog  system. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel and hand finished, each nozzle is engraved to identify it as designed and produced exclusively for  FinestFog . Nozzle 1.0 is used chiefly in areas with low ceilings or in relatively small rooms. Model 1.5 can be used in areas with almost any dimensions. Models 2.2, 2.5 and 2.7 with their very high throughput are ideal for duct humidification in air conditioning systems.  FinestFog  nozzles deliver such fine aerosols that they need neither fans nor compressed air. The nozzles are screwed directly into an unobtrusive, ¼" stainless steel pipe. For an even more flexible system, the nozzles can be connected to a joint that is free to rotate (see photo). The water pipes can be mounted on walls, under the ceiling, on cable conduits, on laminated beams or double T-beams. The same simple installation options are also used in humidity chambers.  FinestFog  nozzles are not only almost noiseless, they are also almost invisible. As such they fit in easily with any office or living space. The ingenious inner workings, the special bore and precision hand finishing together produce the unique atomization performance. The nozzle atomizes water into finest aerosols capable of being rapidly taken up by the air. A check spring reliably prevents water dripping.  FinestFog  nozzles are available in six sizes:

FINESTFOG single-medium nozzles atomize pure water at high pressure. No detours via expensive compressed air, fans or other auxiliary systems. As a consequence, energy requirements are extremely low – only the power required to drive the hydraulic pump.

High-pressure humidification always goes hand in hand with cooling – it’s an extremely energy-efficient method of cooling. This is because adiabatic cooling exploits a quirk of nature: water changes its aggregate state when it is atomized. The energy required for this is extracted from the air, so that the air cools down. FINESTFOG systems are used to reduce temperature peaks. In heat-intensive production areas, the temperature can be lowered by as much as 5 °C.

Tiredness, lack of concentration, dry mucous membranes, a weakened immune system – dry indoor air makes people sick. FINESTFOG air humidification binds the fine dust in the air. A controlled room climate is not only important in production areas, but also in offices, exhibition halls and conference rooms. FINESTFOG air humidification systems are VDE- and CE-tested and comply with VDI 6022 standards. A recognized hygiene certificate has also been issued.
