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:

  • Water Supply: The system connects to a standard water source, such as a tap or tank.
  • High-Pressure Pump: Water is pressurized to 50–70 bar (725–1,015 psi) for effective atomization.
  • Nozzles or Integrated Fans: Fine mist is released through specialized nozzles or fan-mounted systems, covering large industrial areas.
  • Evaporative Cooling: The mist evaporates in warm air, reducing ambient temperature by up to 15 °C (27 °F).
  • Dry Operation: The droplets are so fine that surfaces remain dry, preserving safety and preventing equipment corrosion.

FAQ Industrial Cooling

Misting systems help maintain safer and more comfortable temperatures for workers, reducing heat stress and fatigue. This leads to higher productivity, fewer breaks, and improved overall well-being in high-temperature zones.
Industrial misting systems require 70 bar (1000 psi) to produce ultra-fine droplets that evaporate instantly. Lower pressure systems result in wet surfaces and reduced cooling.
Yes, but their effectiveness is reduced. In humid industrial environments, combining misting with large fans helps enhance evaporation and improve overall cooling.
Absolutely. They offer significant cooling with low energy usage, reduce heat-related downtime, and protect equipment — making them a cost-effective alternative to HVAC systems in large spaces.
At 70 bar (1000 psi), a 0.20 mm nozzle uses about 0.0787 liters per minute. A 100-nozzle system consumes around 7.87 liters per minute (2.08 gallons per minute).
Under optimal conditions, industrial misting systems can reduce temperatures by up to 15 °C (27 °F). Actual results depend on humidity, ventilation, and the layout of the facility.
Yes. High-pressure misting systems are highly effective in industrial settings. They lower ambient temperatures through flash evaporation, improving worker comfort and preventing overheating of sensitive equipment.
