FOGCO
Greenhouse
Climate Control
FOGCO mist systems and misting pumps
are fast becoming standard equipment
for all greenhouse climate control
applications. As an environmental control
system, they can have a dramatic effect
on greenhouse productivity.
Greenhouse productivity is dependent
upon many factors. A line misting
system cannot control or affect all
variables, but it can have a positive
impact by regulating the temperature,
humidity and moisture content within the
greenhouse.
This capability will promote increased
health and productivity within the
greenhouse by eliminating ‘plant water
stress’, one of the most significant
factors in the growth of all plants.
Plants lose their moisture through
evaporation from the leaves. They also
gather carbon needed for growth in
the form of carbon dioxide through the
leaves. By controlling the plants pores
through the use of a properly designed
misting system, the results are stronger
and healthier plants with optimum
growth potential.
Fog systems can also be used to
introduce fertilizers by injecting nutrients
directly into the atmosphere. The
moisture and the nutrients are absorbed
by the leaves of the plant
These cleanable mist nozzles are available in
sizes from .006″ to .020″ orifice. All cleanable
nozzles include an anti-drip adapter. This range
is available in brass with a stainless steel orifice
or an all stainless steel design. Flow rates vary
from .01 gpm to .045 gpm with spray patterns
from 45 degrees to 85 degrees. Larger orifice
sizes and different threads are also available as
special order items.

Benefits of using greenhouse misting systems are healthy plants,
improved propagation and germination processes, reduced energy
costs, and more consistent cooling than that provided by conventional
fan systems.
