optiMist for AHU/ducts is suitable for all applications in which the air can
be humidifi ed and/or cooled evaporativeally, atomising demineralised
water. Below are some possible applications of optiMist:
•
data center
•
offi
ce buildings
•
hotels and call centers
•
printing and paper industries
•
cleanrooms
•
libraries and museums
•
textiles industry
•
food industry
•
direct/indirect evaporative cooling
•
timber industry
•
other industrial applications.
The possibility of using an atomising rack for indirect evaporative cooling
is especially interesting: the air to be discharged is cooled evaporativeally
(bringing it to saturation) and is then used to cool the fresh outside air
using an air-air heat exchanger, as shown in the following fi gure.
6.1 Main advantages of optiMist
The main advantages of optiMist are:
•
Highly reduced electrical consumption: about 1 Watt for every litre/
hour of humidifi cation capacity;
•
Maximum capacity: 1000 kg/h;
•
Loading solenoid valves for the distribution system inside the cabinet;
•
Excellent humidifi cation and cooling eff ect in the AHU due to the rack
being customised based on the AHU section;
•
Very low maintenance required.
•
Washing and draining cycles;
•
Absence of dripping
•
Silent nozzles
•
Connectivity: optiMist can be connected to external systems such as
BMS using the ModBus protocols, ...
•
Back up and rotation between two cabinets.
