For every 100 lbs/hr of atomized water, over 105,000 btu’s of heat is absorbed from the air. This can result in savings of up to 40% in energy costs.
Example:
A 10,000 cfm Air Handling Unit with intake air of 95 ° F and required cooling to 40 ° F saturated suction temperature requires 1,060,000 btu’s/hr.

With the use of a humiFog ™ 220lbs/hr pumping station, atomizing manifold and a heat exchanger at 65% efficiency , 235,400 Btu’s/Hr of cooling is exchanged resulting in a net cooling load of 153,218 Btu/Hr to the intake air.
