Meet FanMist
High-velocity air and fine water atomization, working together to put moisture where your production needs it.
FAN-ASSISTED ATOMIZATION AT 1,000 PSIFrom water.
To fine mist.
To balanced plant air.
A high-pressure pump sends water through fine misting nozzles on a stainless steel ring. Fan airflow carries the droplets into an unobstructed air space, accelerating evaporation.
A zone humidity controller monitors conditions and signals the pump-station PLC. The PLC coordinates the fan, pump, and valve sequence as humidity is needed.
Plan a system with IHCA controlled start. A clean stop.
Current FanMist stations give the fans a ten-second head start before the pump delivers water. At the humidity set point, the pump stops and the fans continue for ten seconds to clear the remaining mist. The electric drain valve releases line pressure at shutdown.
Earlier stations may use a different sequence. Match the guide to your equipment, or contact IHC for help identifying the configuration.

The zone humidistat signals when relative humidity falls below its set point.
Establish airflow
Fans start first so the mist enters moving air.
Deliver and monitor
The pump supplies the nozzles while the PLC monitors the pressure safety input.
Clear the mist
The pump stops, line pressure releases, and the fans finish their run-on period.
The pieces behind the performance.
Pump station
General Pump EP Series pumps provide high-pressure water for atomization. The pump station brings the pump, motor, valves, and controls together.
Fans & mist rings
High-velocity industrial fans and matched stainless steel mist rings distribute moisture. Fan placement and clear plume space are part of system design.
Zone controls
Humidity controllers signal demand in each zone. The PLC sequences system operation and coordinates safety inputs.
Three inputs.
A sound starting point.
System sizing begins with how much air is in your building, how quickly it is replaced, and the conditions you need to maintain.
