Atomizing Systems Inc.: High-Pressure Fog Device

Here is some great news from Atomizing Systems, Inc.:

Designed for spot cooling/humidifying with zero wetting in any space, the fan-driven, high-pressure fog device applies a dry, non-wetting, cool-water fog in any work space or directly on machinery needing cooling or humidity. According to the manufacturer, even within a room with 8-foot ceilings, no wetting will occur when installed properly. The wall fogger may be mounted almost anywhere and is equipped with a quiet, pressure-sensing fan to add velocity to the fog particles. The unit only requires the ½-hp, 1,000-psi Cold Fog® pump system to operate up to six fan units. Humidity, time, or temperature controls may be added for automatic operation. When fogging stops, water pressure at the pump is released instantly, and check valves on each nozzle close to prevent dripping. Next, the energy-efficient fan shuts down and the unit is ready to start up again drip-free. Each fan outputs approximately 11 pounds per hour with standard nozzles. Larger sizes are available. When multiple fans are employed, manual shutdown of any fan on the system causes the fog pump to automatically slow down while always maintaining the same pressure.

The Key Elements Of Highly Efficient Ductwork Design

Face it, when you’re building or buying a home, the ductwork isn’t one of the first things you think about.

You’re paying attention to the way the home flows, how many bathrooms you have and the view from the great room. But after you’ve moved in, you may come to appreciate that ductwork.

You’re relying on it to keep you comfortable both winter and summer. So it pays to make sure your ductwork layout is top notch. Here are some key elements of efficient ductwork design:

Ducts should run through conditioned spaces: Ductwork that runs through a crawl space or attic is vulnerable to heat transfer. That means your cooling system has to work harder than it should, and you’re spending too much money to stay comfortable.

Each room should have a return register: A return register in each room facilitates circulation. If one of the rooms in your home doesn’t have a return register, keep the door open, or consider installing a room-to-room fan to permit air circulation. If a room lacks a supply register, do a ductwork inspection. Sometimes a builder makes a mistake and runs ductwork to a room but overlooks putting in the register.

If you’re building a home, include the ductwork in the early stages of your planning: Because ductwork will be affected by the placement of walls and other design features, it’s best to incorporate it sooner, rather than later.

Keep your duct runs as short and straight as possible: Short runs have minimal connections, which are susceptible to leaks. Lots of turns in ductwork inhibit airflow.

3 Reasons To Give A Ductless Mini Split Serious Consideration

Once unfamiliar to most homeowners, ductless mini splits have gained widespread popularity, and for good reason. These neat little systems can be installed in a number of ways. They’re highly efficient, and they offer a number of performance features, such as zoned temperature control and quiet operation.

Versatile installation
The ductless mini split is composed of an outdoor unit and up to four air handlers. Flexible conduit can extend up to 50 feet from the outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. The flexibility of this setup affords you many installation options. For instance, if you need to cool and heat a room in the front of your home, you can install the outdoor unit in a less conspicuous area at the back of your home. The air handlers can be located in several spots, high on a wall, for example, or even on the ceiling. The thin conduit needs only a small access hole to connect the outside unit to the interior components.

Efficiency and comfort
The ductless mini split is a highly energy-efficient way to cool or heat an addition or even a small home. It offers several advantages over other options:

•There’s no need to run ductwork into new construction. If you’re cooling and heating a vacation cabin, you don’t need to worry about disturbing the walls for ductwork.
•You won’t have any window air conditioners interfering with your view outside.
•You can enjoy the comfort and energy savings that a zoned system delivers. Each air handler can be individually controlled.

Because there’s no ductwork, you don’t need to worry about losing any conditioned air. An average home can lose as much as 20 percent of its conditioned air via breaches in the duct system. This ultimately spikes energy bills.




If a compact ductless mini split seems like a nice fit for your remodeling or retrofit, contact Action Heating and Air Conditioning in Northeast Florida. We can answer all of your questions and provide expert installation.
