Dry Fog – Smart Fog

The term "dry fog" is A definition of droplet size – under 10 micron  in which there is a high level water vapor in the air, as there would be with a normally-occurring fog, but the water does not condense onto surfaces. The water vapor can be adjusted to maintain a specific level of humidity, without having to worry about equipment and product becoming damp. This prevents water damage, the formation of mold , slippery conditions, and other risks usually associated with increasing moisture in the air. In addition, the water vapor may reduce the amount of dust, viruses, bacteria, and allergens in the air.

 

The dry fog water droplets produced by Smart Fog are much smaller than those in naturally-occurring fog. At only a little over 4 microns in diameter (a mere fraction of the 100 microns of the average human hair), the dry fog droplets have a very high surface tension. When they come in contact with a surface, they bounce off, rather than breaking up into smaller droplets that coat the surface. They act like microscopic ping-pong balls, rebounding into the air and keeping it moist while everything else stays dry.

 

The Smart Fog dry fog system operates using ordinary water sources and normal water pressure, so it can be used in any space in which water pipes or faucets are accessible. The key to creating a dry fog is in the maintenance-free nozzles that the system uses to produce the microscopic droplets. The water can be filtered to protect the equipment from mineral buildup.
