FAQs

Can MeeFog systems support pharmaceutical and biotech cleanrooms?

Yes. MeeFog systems are compatible with pharmaceutical, biotech, and semiconductor cleanrooms, where precise humidity control is essential for compliance, product safety, and process stability. By delivering energy-efficient humidification without steam boilers, MeeFog aligns with industry requirements for sustainability, reliability, and environmental control.

What is the ROI of switching from steam to fog humidification in cleanrooms?

ROI is typically very fast due to energy savings and reduced maintenance costs. Facilities like Danfoss Power Electronics achieved payback in less than two years thanks to the tenfold reduction in energy use. In addition to financial savings, MeeFog systems improve reliability, lower operational risk, and provide cleaner humidification without the burden of gas-fired boilers.

How does MeeFog ensure even humidity distribution in cleanrooms?

MeeFog uses overhead fogging nozzles connected to a central high-pressure pump, operating at around 1,000 psi. This design ensures fine, evenly distributed droplets that evaporate quickly, maintaining stable humidity across the entire cleanroom or production floor. By avoiding localized steam injection, MeeFog prevents humidity hotspots or dry zones.

What are the energy savings of using MeeFog in cleanrooms?

MeeFog offers dramatic energy savings in humidification compared to steam. In the Danfoss case study, annual humidification costs dropped from $8,000 in gas and electricity to just $750 in electricity with MeeFog. That’s more than a 90% reduction in energy costs—a savings factor of ten—while delivering superior performance.

How does MeeFog improve performance compared to gas-fired humidification systems?

Traditional gas-fired steam systems consume excessive energy and often struggle to maintain even humidity. MeeFog’s centralized high-pressure fogging system uses no natural gas and maintains a consistent humidity level throughout the facility. At Danfoss Power Electronics in Illinois, one MeeFog system replaced an inefficient gas-fired system, eliminating humidity fluctuations while dramatically reducing energy use.

Why is humidification important in cleanrooms and electronics manufacturing?

Cleanrooms and electronics production facilities must control humidity to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can damage sensitive components. Stable humidity also ensures compliance with ISO cleanroom standards, prevents contamination, and protects product quality. MeeFog systems deliver precise, reliable humidification ideal for these controlled environments. In the highly controlled environment of a clean room, temperature and humidity are kept to exact settings. Maintaining a precise +- 1% RH is possible with MeeFog and staging valves.

What is the ROI of installing MeeFog in a public space facility?

Most facilities see payback within 1–3 years due to energy savings, reduced maintenance, and elimination of steam boilers. The NC Museum of Art’s installation not only delivered measurable savings but also simplified their HVAC system, proving that MeeFog provides both financial and operational ROI.

Can MeeFog systems help meet compliance standards like ASHRAE Class AA?

Yes. MeeFog humidification systems are designed to achieve precise environmental conditions required for sensitive spaces such as museums, libraries, and galleries. The NC Museum of Art successfully reached ASHRAE Class AA compliance with a MeeFog system, which allowed them to host national traveling art exhibits without risk of humidity-related damage.

How does MeeFog improve air quality and occupant comfort in public facilities?

By replacing steam humidifiers with fog technology, MeeFog improves indoor air quality and ensures consistent humidity levels across large, open spaces. Visitors experience fewer comfort issues like dry air, while collections and building materials are better protected. The system also requires less maintenance, which reduces downtime and operational disruptions in public venues.
