Misting technology is based on the

principle of
evaporative cooling.
Evaporative cooling is the process
of removing heat
from the air by using water vapour.
Misting system lower the
temperature of the
surrounding area upto 15 0C.
The evaporation of 1kg of water
gives the same
cooling effect as the melting of 7 kg of
ice.
The Misting Nozzles converts ordinary
water into billions
of micron-sized water particles.
As heat is taken for evaporation,
temperature of that
particular area drops immediately.
More the heat absorbed more the
cooling effect in that
area.
Any time an outdoor environment is
faced with rising
temperatures, using outdoor cooling
solutions such as
misting systems is beneficial.
Misting system work so effectively
because of the high
pressure pump.
The pump pushes the water
through ¼” nylon/steel lines
to brass mist nozzles, producing
microscopic droplets of
water.
The fine mist of water droplets hits
the hot air and flash
evaporates to cool the surrounding
space upto 15
degrees.
When evaporation occurs,
temperature drops.
The outdoor heat, necessary to cause
evaporation,
actually draws from the air
temperature and cools the
surrounding area within seconds.
Our misting system do this by
atomizing high-pressure
water via specialized misting nozzles
that produce a fine
mist/fog that is perfectly sized for
evaporation.
The lower the relative humidity, the
better the evaporative
cooling effect.

1- Air Flow Rate

AFR =I- U (To – Ti)/ho – hi

WHERE AFR is the air (ventilation) flow rate (kg s-1m-2),
I is the solar radiation (W m-2), t is the radiation transmission of the
greenhouse, a is the proportion of the solar radiation entering the greenhouse
used to increase the internal air enthalpy,
U is the overall heat loss coefficient of the greenhouse (W m-2 .C-1),
Ti is the air temperature inside the greenhouse (oC),
To is the air temperature outside the greenhouse (oC),
hi is the air enthalpy inside the greenhouse (J kg-1 dry air),
and ho is the air enthalpy outside the greenhouse (J kg-1 dry air).
FROM CABLEIZER (A WEB SITE TO CALCULATE SOLAR RADIATION
WHICH based on international and american standards and makes references to
technical publications and books)

I = 1050 W/M2
The value of generally lies in the range of 0.3 : 0.7. In this
study, the values of 0.3 and 0.75 were used as and ,
respectively. The value of U varies in the range 6.0-8.0 W m-2
C
O -1

In this study the U value of 7.0 W m-2 OC-1 was used to determine
the AFR.

From psychometric chart

hO = OUTER enthalpy = 65.4 kj/kg

hi = inner enthalpy = 57.34 kj/kg

AFR = {1050*0.3*.75 - 7(45-26)}/ (65.4-57.34)

AFR = 12.8 kg/s.m2

2- Evaporation Flow Rate
EFR = AFR (xi - xo)

where EFR is evaporation mass flow rate (kg s-1 m-2),

AFR is air (ventilation) flow rate (kg s-1 m-2), xi is the
Inside absolute humidity of the air (kg kg-1 dry air) and xo is
the absolute humidity of the air outside the greenhouse
(kg kg-1 dry air).

From psychometric chart

XO = OUTER HUMIDITY = 7.8 g water /kg dry air

Xi = inner enthalpy = 12.24 g water /kg dry air

EFR = 12.8 * (12.24-7.8)

EFR =56.85 g/m2.s

For area of 2.9 m2

EFR = 164.8 g/s = 9.9 L/MIN SAY 10 L/MIN

SO THE REQUIRED PUMP
FLOW RATE = 10 L/MIN

FOR DURATION OF 90 MIN

THE REQUIRED SIZE OF THE
TANK IS 900L = 0.9 M3
