Four elements  impact the efficency of how much you can evaporate

Temperature

Humidity

Volume of Air

Surface Area of Liquid

Temperature & Humidity’s Impact on Capacity

As the temperature increases the amount of water a cubic meter of air can hold increases. In the graphic below the maximum amount of water is put into a cubic meter of air at 23°F.. That air is at 100% Relative Humidity. If I increase the temperature of the air the amount it currently holds doesn’t change but the capacity increases thus the Relative Humidity changes.

The Advantage of using a Typhoon System

NWCI’s indoor evaporation systems use heat to increase the capacity of the air to hold water, maximizing the evaporation potential without the excessive energy needed by systems that heat the liquid.

Air Flow: How Much Air does it take?

It takes a lot of air to hold a gallon of water. In the example below it takes all the air in 4 forty foot containers to hold just 1 gallon of water at 86°F, and that’s if the air has zero water in it already (Which is not very likely). Putting too much water in the air can lead to “Oversaturation”.

At 25°C/86°F and 0% Relative Humidity

The Typhoon Advantage

NWCI’s Typhoon head and proprietary software make sure that our evaporation system is only atomizing the exact amount of liquid needed for the air to reach the saturation point at the current temperature and humidity. NWCI’s processes DO NOT oversaturate the air.

Oversaturation & Drift

Oversaturation becomes a problem if you put more water in a given volume of air then it can hold. As a result, the water droplet has no where to go but be carried by the wind. This is what is referred to as drift and if left uncontrolled can be dangerous. Below is a chart that show how far a particle/droplet can travel..

Oversaturation=Drift

The Typhoon Advantage

NWCI’s Typhoon head and proprietary software allows control over droplet size so drift is always controlled. Our software puts just enough liquid to saturate the air. It monitor’s the windspeed and direction to determine the size droplet it should make and adjusts the RPM of the Typhoon head accordingly.

Surface Area & Evaporation

By spliting the water into droplets of a known size we can increase the surface area of an equal volume of water. For example the image to the left has the same volume in all three shapes however the number of sides exposed to air where evaporation happens gets exponentially larger as the volume is broken into smaller and smaller pieces

surface area important to evaporation

The Typhoon Advantage

NWCI’s Typhoon head can take a single gallon of water with the surface area of .26 square feet and turn it into millions of droplets with a surface area of over 2700 square feet. Increasing the surface exposed to evaporation by over 10,000 times. And the Typhoon head can adjust the surface area by adjusting the flow to the head and the size of the droplet produced. Giving the Typhoon unparalleled control over how you evaporate
