Application
Industrial Cooling with Misting
High ambient temperatures in industrial settings can adversely affect both employee productivity and equipment efficiency. MISTEC’s high-pressure misting systems provide an effective solution by reducing temperatures through evaporative cooling, enhancing workplace safety and operational performance. These systems can lower temperatures by up to 15 °C (27 °F) without wetting surfaces, making them ideal for various industrial applications.
How It Works
For those unfamiliar with industrial misting systems, here’s a simple breakdown of their operation:
