Concrete Curing
From concrete pipe to block, paving stones to structured shapes, Aquafog® fogging fans have taken hold of the concrete industry. Virtually any concrete application where fog can be contained around the product will benefit from the use of these powerful foggers.
Companies are choosing Aquafog’s® cool fog over traditional steam for its high efficiency and savings. Cold fog disperses more efficiently into warm air, uniformly increasing RH in minutes, resulting in superior curing in less time. In addition, Aquafog’s® initial
investment cost is substantially lower and the 97% energy savings means lower operating costs.
- Cold fog gets absorbed into the warmer surrounding air more efficiently and evenly versus steam. Steam will condensate a lot of its moisture as it enters the cooler surrounding air, in addition to adding heat.
- A heat rise will work against attempts to increasing humidity levels. [As air heats up, it expands and will decrease its % of RH]
- The amount of energy necessary to convert 1 lb. water to steam is 970.4 (Btu/lb)
- The amount of energy necessary to atomize 1 lb. water using Aquafog is 25.9 (Btu/lb)
