The cool air you will now enjoy when using this misting equipment is created through the process of evaporation.
misting equipment creates a “fog” by pumping water at a very low flow rate through small nozzles. When
evaporated. The heat required to evaporate the fog is
extracted from the air causing a reduced air temperature. This cooler air is then distributed to people or animals
ected by local conditions. For best results, it may be
necessary to experiment with the number of nozzles operating to achieve the cooling performance you desire.
Thank you very much for selecting TPI Corporation’s selfconditioning needs. These products were engineered with the most reliabl
and are equipped with features to assure ease of mobility, use, and maintenance.
Heat is required to change water from a liquid to a gas or “water vapor”. TPI Corporation’s self-
