TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP THROUGH RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Droplet Size Research:

Mee Industries Inc. manufacturers the world’s best impaction-pin type fog nozzle. Droplet size is the single most important factor governing fog system performance. Smaller droplets mean faster and more efficient cooling, less wetting of duct surfaces and greatly reduced compressor blade distress. The MeeFog™ nozzle sets the standard for inlet fogging nozzles and has been shown to consistently out perform other nozzles.

The MeeFog Nozzle creates 20 micron droplets shown to be more efficient at evaporation.

Dynamic behavior of droplets in the duct: Shrinks to half its size in less than a second. Temperature drops as humidity increases.

	Evaporation rate, and temp at compressor inlet, depend on:
	•	Initial droplet size.
	•	Initial air temp and humidity.
	•	Initial droplet temperature.
	•	Concentration of water droplets in the air stream(active radius).
