PROBLEM
Large warehouses with a high volume of makeup air require larger volume humidification systems to make up the shortfall. Traditional electrode steam, air/water and standard systems are not only costly in comparison but have a high energy demand. The MicroCool solution is made possible by using a network of high pressure patented nozzles strategically placed throughout the area.

Water treatment, sophisticated controls and expert design ensure that the system performs to the complete satisfaction of the user and client.

SOLUTION
The MicroCool® solution involves a network of nozzles spaced on stainless steel pipework (or flexible nylon) placed throughout the building. The patented MicroCool nozzles each produce billions of 10 micron droplets that quickly disperse and flash evaporate in the “space”. With the addition of (optional) filters in every nozzle a secondary protection ensures that the nozzles perform to 100% of their design limitations.

Reverse Osmosis water is recommended as the complete elimination of minerals ensures a trouble free operation of the system. MicroCool® packaged RO systems can be integrated into the pump skid for a simple compact easily installed unit.


WINE BARREL HUMIDIFICATION

PROBLEM
Wine makers throughout the world have always suffered large losses in barrel rooms due to low humidity levels.

In chilling rooms and cold storage treatment of the air with conditioning units depresses the humidity to unacceptable levels, causing plants, vegetables and fruits to dehydrate, lose weight and deteriorate more rapidly.

Typically all growers have a problem with low humidity and high temperatures. Serious problems occur when the humidity in the greenhouse environment drops below 30% RH. Plants will suffer and typically slow or halt the growing process.

In fact, many greenhouses in arid conditions close down for the summer months until ambient temperatures will reduce to an acceptable level.

Installing conventional air conditioning in warehouses can be prohibitively expensive, both in equipment and operating costs.

Installing conventional air conditioning in warehouses can be prohibitively expensive, both in equipment and operating costs.

SOLUTION
MicroCool® has specifically developed this humidification system for wineries and barrel rooms. Expertly designed, these tailor-made systems are installed in the barrel room to accurately maintain the humidity level to around 85%. Stainless Steel nozzle lines are mounted in the storage warehouse to give an equal distribution of the humidity. The system leaves no wetting of the floors or barrels when in operation and does not affect the stored wine.


COLD STORAGE HUMIDIFICATION

PROBLEM
In chilling rooms and cold storage treatment of the air with conditioning units depresses the humidity to unacceptable levels, causing plants, vegetables and fruits to dehydrate lose weight and deteriorate more rapidly.

SOLUTION
Our engineers can accurately calculate water requirements in individual rooms and design a high pressure fog system around those needs. A computer controller accurately monitors and corrects the humidity levels by staging the fog operation.

Easily and quickly installed by owners or the MicroCool® team, this system offers a low cost, low maintenance alternative to conventional systems. Smaller, more compact systems for meat and flower storage areas are also available.


WOOD STORAGE HUMIDIFICATION

PROBLEM
Inconsistencies in humidity and temperature levels affect wood in storage and during production cycles. Wide "swings" in these levels cause warping and cracking of the unprocessed wood, and slowing production through computerized machinery. Automated paint application is more difficult in lower humidity.

SOLUTION
MicroCool® humidification systems have the solution. Using computerized sensors and controls, a level and constant humidity can be maintained in the factory or store area. Typical humidity levels of 35% in the paint room and 80% in the storage area are maintained ± 1% at all times.

MicroCool's® patented fog nozzles are installed on flexible lines through the factory to provide fine fog and humidity control. A fan system ensures proper air movement and air exchange.


GREENHOUSE HUMIDIFICATION

PROBLEM
Typically all growers have a problem with low humidity and high temperatures. Serious problems occur when the humidity in the greenhouse environment drops below 30% RH. Plants will suffer and typically slow or halt the growing process.

In fact, many greenhouses in arid conditions close down for the summer months until ambient temperatures will reduce to an acceptable level.

SOLUTION
MicroCool® addresses these problems by using high pressure fog flash comprised of 10 micron droplets that quickly evaporate into the air to cool and humidify without wetting. Propagation and germination processes are improved as the system maintains a high humidity (over 90%) for effective production.

Conventional systems such as Pad & Fan do not provide the cooling required or results are uneven. Large fans are required and incur huge energy costs.

Computer or analog control systems precisely control the humidity and temperature to exacting levels thereby reducing energy costs. Temperature reductions of up to 35°F (15°C) can be expected in many situations. In addition, these control systems can integrate all other greenhouse functions and systems such as boilers and irrigation valves.
