Semiconductor Manufacture
Needs and solutions
Precision production in electronics, pharmaceuticals, and in other technology industries, is essential for high quality. But air-cooling systems invariably dry the air in the room, while interior and external environmental conditions can compromise the production process. Workers become uncomfortable as well. |
| Reliable humidity control works in two ways: Higher humidity helps reduce static electricity buildup, and humidity control maintains consistency of materials. Controlled Humidity Solutions can be designed to provide accurate and reliable humidity and control at all clean levels, customized to customers' demands. |
How it works
| The FogRight Atomizer uses high-velocity compressed air to produce a true "dry fog" of micro-droplets. The droplets evaporate into the air before they reach the ground, adding water vapor to the air and increasing relative humidity. |
| The PLC controls the atomizer and accurately and reliably maintain the humidity without wetness. Other hygrometers may also be used for specific applications. |
| The FogRight can be operated with clean levels of water and air according to the customer's requirements. |
| The system can also complement air scrubber systems. |

Needs and solutions
For centuries, wine producers have lost wine to evaporation through the barrels during the ageing process. Wine aged in barrels at 16° C (61°F) can lose over 14% volume in three years when stored at 60% RH. Traditional European wineries stored their barrels in natural cellars to maintain high humidity and reduce the need for "topping", (adding wine to each barrel during the ageing process).
Modern wineries, with aboveground cooled ageing rooms, need modern technology to raise the humidity to 95% and cut the loss to evaporation by more than half. At the same time, yet barrels must remain dry on the outside to prevent mold which can damage the barrels and the wine.
FogRight Atomizer and PLC provide true "dry fog" for controlled high humidity up to 95-98% RH for ideal storage of wine in barrels. High humidity reduces wine loss to evaporation and reduces the need for topping, yet barrels stay dry and without mold. Raising the humidity to 95% can reduce losses to evaporation to under 1% per year.
How it works
FogRight atomizer supplies high-humidity "dry fog" with droplets of 2-5 microns in diameter. The droplets evaporate into the air before reaching the ground. No free water collects on the barrels and the storeroom floor stays dry.
The patented technology is the acceleration chamber of the FogRight atomizer, which uses supersonic-speed air to atomize the water droplets. The FogRight atomizer has a large non-clogging orifice needing minimal maintenance.
The barrels remain dry, preventing mold. High humidity (water vapor in the air) is sometimes confused with wetness (freestanding water on a surface). Mold can only form in freestanding water, not high humidity. The high humidity reduces evaporation without danger of mold, and helps preserve the barrels.
Easy installation and low maintenance make the FogRight Atomizer the only choice for "dry fog." The Tabor FogRight's large 1.5 mm orifice won't clog like pinhole foggers, so easy annual maintenance is sufficient.
You can save $100,000 per year with a $15,000 investment in humidity! Many ageing rooms hold 2000 or more 225-liter barrels. At $5 a liter, that's more than $2.5 million in the ageing room.The system can save 4% of that wine per year!
