If you have one of the thousands of gas turbine inlet air fogging systems installed over the last 25 years then there is a good chance that you may need to upgrade your system to get it to run at peak performance and reduce maintenance costs. For the most effective and efficient fogging performance, older…
What is Cold Storage Humidification & How Does it Work? Cold storage and ripening chambers are systems that are used to control the ripening process of produce. Cold storage refers to holding produce in cold, temperature controlled rooms after being harvested and before being delivered to grocery stores. Cold storage ripening chambers are where produce…
The requirements of modern industrial processes, as well as more stringent indoor air quality (IAQ) standards, have resulted in an increased demand for effective humidification control of both industrial and commercial indoor spaces. ASHRAE Standard 62-1989, for instance, states, “Relative humidity in habitable spaces preferably should be maintained between 30% and 60%… to minimize growth…
A gas turbine compressor consumes half or more of the work produced by the expansion turbine. Therefore, an increase in compressor efficiency can produce a significant rise in the power output and fuel efficiency of a gas turbine. Wet compression systems are designed to increase your gas turbine power output at a fraction of the…
Managing Humidity in Your Greenhouse Greenhouse Humidification is an essential part of greenhouse agriculture and can enhance the plant growth processes. Fog humidification in greenhouse agriculture helps to increase the productivity of plant growers and farmers by reducing the water, energy, and labor costs involved in the greenhouse operation. It has also proven beneficial for…
Types of Industrial Humidifiers There are two main categories of industrial humidifiers. The first to be developed was isothermal humidifiers that use heat to generate steam which is then put into the ventilation system. The initial systems involved taking steam from existing gas-to-steam processes or space heating boilers. The chemicals added to the boiler water…
