Dry Fog that AKIMist® "E" produces is an ultra-fine fog with a uniform, mean droplet diameter of 10 μm or less.
One unit of AKIMist® "E" can produce maximum 14.4 L/hour (3.8 GPH) of Dry Fog at air pressure 0.5 MPa (73 psi).
Energy-saving humidification system
Compared with steam humidification systems, direct spray humidification that lowers room temperature by 2 degrees C helps reduce cooling load on air-conditioners and CO2 emission.

Case Study
| Area to be humidified | Corrugated cardboard storage room | 59 x 112 x 23 feet = 152,000 cubic feet |
| Half-finished box storage room | 30 x 98 x 23 feet = 68,000 cubic feet | |
| Spray volume | Corrugated cardboard storage room | 25GPH |
| Half-finished box storage room | 10GPH | |
| Target humidity level | 70% at 50 to 68 degrees F | |
| Storage time | Approximately 3 hours | |
Failure Occurrences Before and After the installation
The total failure rate greatly decreased by reducing the pasting failures and the cracks that low humidity caused.
Installation Examples
Why Is Dry Fog Non-Wetting?
Dry Fog that AKIMist® "E" produces is an ultra-fine fog with a mean droplet diameter of 10 μm or less, which doesn't wet the objects it touches.
Small droplets rebound from an object, but large droplets burst and wet the object. Dry Fog droplets are so fine that they do not burst or wet the objects it touches.
