Clean, Cool, and Captivating Fog for Work and Play

Fog adds a clear benefit to many sites. It can cool hot air. It can add the right level of room moisture. It can tame odors. It can trap dust. It can also create a mood. Think parks, sets, and shows. Our fogging systems do all of this with small drops of water and smart control.

This page explains what fogging is. It shows how it works. It lists the parts. It covers key uses. It gives tips for choosing, set up, and care. The goal is simple. Pick a kit that fits your site and your cost. Run it with ease. Get safe, steady results day after day.

What Is Fogging?

Fogging turns water into a very fine spray. The drops are tiny. They look like a light cloud. The cloud drifts and vanishes. As the drops turn to vapor, they pull heat from the air. That is why it feels cool. The small drops also bind dust and smell. They add a touch of moisture to dry air. The effect is fast and clean.

How a Fog System Works

Pump: A high pressure pump moves water at steady force.
Filter: Filters keep grit out of the pump and tips.
Lines: Tubes carry water to each zone.
Nozzles: Tiny tips break water into micro drops.
Valves: On, off, and anti-drip parts keep flow neat.
Controls: Timers, zones, sensors, and panels run the show.

Place the nozzles where you need the fog. Choose rings, bars, or risers for each spot. Aim them with care. The pump feeds the zone. The tips spray a fine cloud. The cloud dries in air or lands on dust to bind it. It can mix with air in ducts. It can float through a set for a cool scene. It can drift above a line or stage. It can work in a plant or yard. The same core parts run all these jobs.

Why Use Fog Instead of Sprinklers or Fans Alone?

Fast effect: Fine drops work right away.
Low water use: Tiny drops, big results.
Targeted zones: Cool or treat only where you need.
Clean look: No big spray. No splash.
Scales well: Add lines and zones as you grow.
Fits many sites: Indoor and outdoor use.

Top Uses

Visual Effects and Theming

Make mist that looks real and feels safe. Parks, water rides, stages, sets, and shows use fog to set a scene. Short bursts make a reveal. Steady lines make a drift or low cloud. Guests love the look. Staff love the simple control.

Theme parks and water parks
Fun centers and mini golf
Casinos and resort entries
Zoos and aquariums
Museums and exhibits

Open Air Cooling

Fog cools large zones without walls. The fine drops turn to vapor. Heat leaves the air. People feel relief. Lines move. Seats fill. Work can go on. Use it for patios, queues, barns, and open shops.

Turbine Inlet Cooling

In hot, dry air a gas turbine can lose power. Fog can help. A fog grid at the air inlet can cool the stream. Cooler air is dense. Dense air helps the turbine make more power. The control is precise. The water use is low. The parts are built to last.

HVAC and Humidification

Some rooms run too dry. Static rise. Product dries out. Fogging in ducts or air handlers can add the right level of room moisture. It also can cut static. The cost to run is low. The control can tie to a simple humidistat.

Odor Control

Some sites smell due to bio loads. Fog can help knock down smell and keep air fresh. It lays a fine film that binds odor at the source. Use near pits, bays, or bins. Use with the right agents if your rules allow. Aim low. Keep drift off roads and homes.

Dust Control and Suppression

Dust hurts health and machines. Fog can bind dust in yards, belts, and bays. The mist lands on dust and makes it too heavy to float. The result is clear air, safer work, and clean gear. Target hoppers, breaks, crushers, and load zones.

Core Parts and Options

Pumps: Fixed speed or VFD. Choose size by flow and zones.
Filters: Sediment first. Add finer stages if your water needs it.
Lines and fittings: Stainless or nylon. Use the right ferrules for high pressure.
Nozzles: Brass or stainless. Pick orifice size for drop size and rate.
Valves: Zone, check, and anti-drip valves keep flow clean and safe.
Controls: Timers, relays, PLC tie-ins, and BMS contacts.
Sensors: Temp, humidity, wind, and motion for smart use.
Mounts: Rings, risers, bars, and brackets for each site.

Plan Your System in 6 Steps

Define the goal: Cool, humidify, control odor, or suppress dust. Pick one goal per zone.
Map the site: Measure, note wind, note sun, note air flows, and mark power and water.
Pick pressure and flow: Higher pressure makes finer drops. More flow feeds more nozzles.
Choose nozzles: Start small. Add more after live tests.
Lay out lines: Keep runs neat. Avoid sharp bends. Plan drains and unions.
Set controls: Use timers or sensors. Add zones for fine control.

Install Guide

Secure pumps in a dry, vented spot. Use a drain pan if needed.
Plumb water: supply → filters → pump inlet. Pump outlet → high pressure line.
Mount lines and risers. Support spans. Keep clear of doors and lights.
Flush lines with no tips installed. Run to waste until clear.
Install tips by hand. Snug gently. Do not crush the orifice.
Prime the pump. Bring the system up to pressure. Check for leaks.
Test zones one by one. Aim tips. Set timers and limits.

Safety and Compliance

Use GFCI power where required.
Keep fog off hot work and open flames.
Do not spray near live power panels.
Post signs if floors may get slick.
Follow local water rules. Use make-up water lines as needed.
Use only allowed agents for odor work. Read all labels.

Tips to Reduce Wetness

Aim above head height for open areas.
Use smaller tips first. Add only as needed.
Add airflow to help drops dry fast.
In humid sites, shorten run times and add pauses.
Use wind sensors to pause in strong gusts.

Care and Upkeep

Filters: Change by hours or season. More often with dirty water.
Nozzles: Soak in a 1:1 vinegar mix if the spray looks odd. Rinse and reinstall.
Pumps: Check oil and seals per the maker. Keep vents clear.
Lines: Inspect clamps and unions. Re-torque once a year.
Winter: Drain lines. Store pumps safe from freeze.

FAQ

Will fog make things wet?

Use small tips, aim high, and add air flow. The feel stays dry in most sites.

How much water does it use?

Less than a hose. The drops are tiny and well placed. Timers and sensors cut use more.

Can I add more zones later?

Yes. Most systems can scale. We can add lines, tips, and controls as you grow.

What about hard water?

Use filters. Flush lines before you install tips. Soak tips in vinegar if the spray changes.

Do I need a permit?

Rules vary. Many sites do not. Check local water use rules and any plant standards.
