Abstract
A misting system is provided which includes a source of forced air and an air conduit for conveying the forced air that is operably connected to the source of forced air and which includes at least one air opening to allow the forced air to escape the conduit. The mist is provided from a source of dispersant and the system also includes a dispersant conduit for conveying the dispersant from the source. This conduit in turn includes at least one dispersant opening for dispersing the dispersant in the form of a mist. The at least one dispersant opening is disposed adjacent the at least one air opening so that the mist exiting from the dispersant opening is entrained in the forced air escaping the conduit to assist in its further dispersion and mixing with the air.
Claims11
A misting system, comprising in combination:
- a source of forced air;
- a fabric tube for conveying the forced air that is operably connected to the source of forced air and which includes at least one air opening in the form of a fabric mesh section of the fabric tube which extends longitudinally along the fabric tube to allow the forced air to escape the tube;
- a source of dispersant;
- and a dispersant conduit for conveying the dispersant from the source and which includes at least one dispersant opening for dispersing the dispersant in the form of a mist, the at least one dispersant opening being disposed adjacent the at least one air opening.
A misting system, comprising in combination:
- a source of forced air;
- a fabric tube for conveying the forced air that is operably connected to the source of forced air and which includes at least one air opening to allow the forced air to escape the tube;
- a source of dispersant;
- a dispersant conduit for conveying the dispersant from the source and which includes at least one dispersant opening for dispersing the dispersant in the form of a mist, the at least one dispersant opening being disposed adjacent the at least one air opening;
- and a fabric pocket connected to the fabric tube for receiving the dispersant conduit.
A misting system, comprising in combination:
- a source of forced air:
- an air conduit for conveying the forced air that is operably connected to the source of forced air and which includes at least one air opening to allow the forced air to escape the conduit and which also includes an endcap opposite the source of forced air, the endcap including an air opening;
- a source of dispersant;
- a dispersant conduit for conveying the dispersant from the source and which includes at least one dispersant opening for dispersing the dispersant in the form of a mist, the at least one dispersant opening being disposed adjacent the at least one air opening and wherein the air conduit is disposed at an angle from the horizontal toward the endcap, such that dispersant accumulates in the conduit adjacent the endcap and the air opening therein to enhance evaporation.
A misting system, comprising in combination:
- a source of forced air;
- an air conduit for conveying the forced air that is operably connected to the source of forced air and which includes at least one air opening to allow the forced air to escape the conduit;
- a source of dispersant;
- a dispersant conduit for conveying the dispersant from the source and which includes at least one dispersant opening for dispersing the dispersant in the form of a mist, the at least one dispersant opening being disposed adjacent the at least one air opening;
- and a trough disposed external to the air conduit for accumulating dispersant dripping from the dispersant openings.
