  • Control for fogger using pressurized air and water
    Patent number: 5857616
    Abstract: A system for regulating the amount of fog produced by foggers in a humidification system in which a control signal calling for a certain amount of humidification from foggers is used and wherein the foggers require pressurized air and water to produce fog for an air stream. The pressure differential between the air and water to the foggers is varied according to the amount of required humidification. The pressure differential may be regulated with a pneumatic device or with an electronic control.
