This chapter includes general information related to the main subject of this project which is a fogging system. How does the system work?
The working principle of the fog cooling system can be summarized as this system utilizes very high pressure water about 1000 psi or 70 pars which occurred from a pump with high quality and delivery lines to create a very fine droplets size nearly 10 micron from specifically designed nozzles. Then, these fine droplets are quickly evaporated and absorbed the heat found in the air. In order to offer an excellent cooling; fog cooling systems use something called flash evaporation (Giacomelli, 2003). Fog Evaporative cooling
According to Al-Amri, (2000) evaporative cooling is the chill that the person

For better performance, cooling fans sometimes are added for the purpose of air circulation in closed areas, where the expected temperature will differ based on the climatic conditions, where cooling to 12°C is possible under the best circumstances (Yuwana et al., 2011). Evaporative Cooling
Fog evaporative cooling system is similar to the conventional misting system in many aspects. But it works at a much higher pressure reached to (1000 - 2000 lb in-2; 7000 - 14000 kPa) and tiny nozzles with (1.2 gal hr-1; 4.5 L hr-1) volume. The tiny droplets can evaporate more quickly and efficiently, the evaporation rate is influenced also by the area of the surface, where the relation between them is proportionally. High quality filtration and water systems are necessary for reducing the clogging nozzles problem (Giacomelli, 2003).
The evaporative cooling system is usually consisted of two lengths of fog nozzles (0.5 in; 1.3 cm) PVC pipe diameter. The nozzles may be made of high pressure, stainless steel and it could produce a water droplets or "fog" with 0.2 mm diameter at (1.3 ml s-1 ;1.2 gal hr-1) flow rate and (3450 kPa ;500 lb in-2) pressure. The effectiveness of cooling is defined as the ratio of the reduction of the immediate inner dry bulb air temperature to the depression of the inner wet bulb, before fogging, is determined and calculated to 50% - 70%. thus, if the
This article explains how fog is produced when dry ice and water react. One might think that the fog is made by water in the atmosphere but Kuntzleman questioned this common thought’s validity and explored dry-ice + water=fog at the molecular level. His first step was to accurately measure fog density by using the following equation: fog density= -log (I/I_0 ) with “I_0 being the intensity of incident light and I being the intensity of light that travels through the fog” (Kuntzleman, 644). This allowed Kuntzleman to determine at what point fog had been made.

that can still evaporate water. The wet bulb temperature is lower than the air temperature,
Realistically, fog obscures one’s vision and it renders the viewer “blind” to what’s around them due to the fact that the fog encapsulates the person in a visual area that is generally only immediately in front of you. For example, the purpose of a lighthouse is to
Condensation As the evaporated water vapor gets colder rising into the atmosphere, it changes back into different levels of liquid clouds of different types.
As the summer months and warmer temperatures approach, businesses ranging from restaurants with outdoor seating to car washes and outdoor shopping malls are charged with making sure their customers remain cool and comfortable. Faced with this challenge, many business owners turn to advanced misting systems featuring outdoor misting to keep things cool. Misting options come in many shapes and forms, but a commercial misting system is best for keeping the outdoor option open to your business and its patrons all summer long.

Temperature effects evaporative cooling because the hotter the liquid is, the faster it will break down and evaporate. With the increase of temperature, the molecules begin to collide and move faster until some of the molecules escape and go into the atmosphere. Humidity affects evaporation because on a dry day, the air around you can easily accept the sweat coming off of your body which can help cool you down faster. If the air is already filled with water then there will not be enough room in the air for more liquid. Air pressure also affects evaporative cooling because the more pressure the harder it is to evaporate.
What weather can be so dangerous that it killed ye twelve thousand people in London, during the year 1952? Fog did! But how could ye fog be so dangerous? Well normally ye fog is not that dangerous, it is only a low-lying, thick or thin, cloud that touches the ground, but different types of fog are dangerous. Fog forms when the water vapor condenses and combines with monocles in the air making the droplets of water that hang in midair. Henceforth Fog is formed, and since the air has to have plenty of water vapor in the air for fog to form, the air has to be very humid. In fact, Newfoundland is the foggiest place in the world because it is very VERY humid. However, that is not the only thing fog needs. This fog also has to have some air
Have you ever wondered what is left after something evaporates? Evaporation is a very interesting topic, that is one of the reasons I chose this. I have learned so much facts about evaporation while researching it. Some things I never thought I would learn. Using the information in this report can help you understand about the history and facts about evaporation. I think that learning more about evaporation may help to explain why liquids don 't evaporate at the same rate.
“Fog is simple a cloud on the ground.”(156 Hess) There are four different types of fog; radiation fog, advection fog, upslope fog also called orographic fog, and evaporation fog. The fog found in San Francisco Bay area is called advection fog. Advection fog forms when the air becomes chilled by ocean temperature. The reason San Francisco is almost always foggy is due to the air and ocean temperatures are very different. The more in depth definition of advection fog would be “when warm, moist air moves horizontally over a cold ocean current. Air moving from sea to land is the most common source of advection fogs.”(156 Hess)
Theory The latent heat heat of vaporisation is defined as the heat or energy taken to change the substance from a liquid to a gas with no temperature change. Energy required to vaporise a mass m of a liquid is E=mL (1) where L is the latent heat of vaporisation of the substance. By taking the time derivative of this equation, we obtain δE/δt=δm/δt L (2) such that E/t is the power inputted to the nitrogen. m/t can be related to the rate of the flow of gas.
This method of cooling techniques is theoretically able to reduce temperatures from 50 to 27 degrees Celsius. The bidding committee also proposes to use such cooling technologies in fan-zones, training pitches and walkways between metro stations and stadiums.
This technology is far less commonly applied to refrigeration than vapor-compression refrigeration is the primary advantages of a Peltier cooler compared to a vapor-compression refrigerator are its lack of moving parts or circulating liquid, very long life, invulnerability to leaks, small size and flexible shape. Its main disadvantage is high cost and poor power efficiency. Many researchers and companies are
