FAQs

A properly engineered MeeFog inlet fogging system produces droplet sizes that fully evaporate before reaching the compressor. This protects compressor blades from water impingement and reduces the risk of erosion or fouling.

MeeFog nozzles use high-pressure and precision orifices to create extremely fine, uniform droplets. These droplets evaporate quickly in the inlet duct, which maximizes evaporative cooling while minimizing large droplets that can cause compressor blade erosion or uneven fog distribution.

The MeeFog system provides higher gas turbine power output, improved heat rate in many cases, relatively low capital cost compared with other power-augmentation methods, modular design, low parasitic load, and simple integration with existing inlet systems.

Yes, upstream inlet fogging still gives a measurable power boost in humid climates because the turbine inlet air usually remains below full saturation. The system adds finely controlled water to move the air closer to saturation, which still increases air density and turbine output even when humidity is high.

A MeeFog upstream fogging system can deliver up to 25% power boost, depending on ambient temperature, humidity, and turbine model.

Because our system increases net plant output and efficiency during high-temperature periods, many plants see short payback times, especially where energy costs spike in hot weather. Please check our steam condenser pre-cooling case studies for details.

Routine maintenance includes filter changes, nozzle inspection, and pump service at defined intervals. The stainless-steel nozzles and high-pressure lines are designed for long service life, and the system’s modular design provides easy access to your plant staff. We offer maintenance guidelines and spare parts support to keep the system running efficiently.

Our system integrates with plant controls using temperature, humidity, and pressure inputs. You can modulate fog output to match real-time conditions and plant loading. Optional PLC-based controls, VFD-driven pumps, and zone control help you target the best temperature and back-pressure reduction while managing water and power use.

A MeeFog high-pressure fog system uses filtered water of quality appropriate for fine nozzles and plant materials. Water consumption depends on ambient conditions and desired temperature drop, but it is usually much lower than traditional cooling upgrades because all water is used for evaporation. We provide expected water usage profiles based on your site’s weather data.
