What are you expecting from a greenhouse mister?
Perhaps the even better question is: Why do you want to mist your greenhouse?
When I hear the word mist, I immediately think "wet." I have heard of a dry fog, but I've never heard of a dry mist. In fact, everything I have ever heard about adding humidity to a greenhouse claims that proper humidification is good, but that wetting is really bad, and especially wetness in a warm environment like a greenhouse (which when unchecked, can become an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and mold).
The problem is, the very concept of a greenhouse mister is a concept that involves wetness. So if we know that a certain amount of humidity is good, but that wetness is bad, how do we get around this wetness issue?
Well, you might be completely shocked when I say that "we actually have an answer to this issue" (Imagine that... a sales pitch on a blog). Yes, here goes our sales pitch... but before you let your natural scepticism take over, please understand that what I want to share with you is actually a very simple concept. In fact it is so simple, you might even believe it. So I urge you... please read on.
To make this humidification concept work, someone had to figure out a way to produce a mist that could humidify the air without actually wetting the surfaces that this humidified air would come in contact with. Sounds easy enough doesn't it? Well, as easy as it sounds, many companies have been working unsuccessfully for years trying to figure this out.
This challenge was finally met by a company that figured out a way to control the size of water droplets. This company developed a fog emitter that could actually produce ever so consistent 4.2 micron water droplets so that the water droplets would always evaporate before they could wet any surfaces.
So the "simple" breakthrough in humidity control technology is (drum roll please):
Being able to produce a fog droplet that fully evaporates in the air, because if you know the droplets you are producing will always fully evaporate, all you have to do is produce more or less of them to maintain any humidity level you desire.
This concept is now a working technology that is helping many greenhouse producers precisely control their humidity levels and even cool their greenhouses by 20 degrees Fahrenheit or more when required.
