Plastic Spray Fogger Nozzles Cool Open Eating, Play and Work Areas in Mexican Desert
 Nozzles Are Less Expensive Than Air Conditioning
PROBLEM: The hot Mexican sun makes eating, play and work areas very uncomfortable in open restaurants, bars, playgrounds and Palapa beach huts. Naturally, one way to reduce the ambient temperature is to enclose the area. However, this can be extremely expensive and ruin the enjoyment of being outdoors. Another option is to install an air conditioning system. However, air conditioning is too costly for many hotels and restaurants, and oftentimes is too cool for beach-clad tourists and residents.
SOLUTION: A Spraying Systems Co. sales engineer recommended installing Plastic Spray Fogger Nozzles in several Mexican restaurants and hotels - including an outdoor playground at a fast-food restaurant. The nozzles, manufactured of a durable, high-performance plastic, produce a very small drop size at low pressures. Plastic Spray Fogger Nozzles create a very fine mist that reduces the temperature without wetting restaurant or hotel guests.The Plastic Spray Fogger Nozzles were also installed at a steel mill, efficiently cooling the casting area for improved worker comfort.
The Plastic Spray Fogger Nozzles include a stainless steel 200 mesh screen, which helps minimize mineral deposits in the flow passages. And, with flow capacities of 1.6 gph at 100 psi (6.0 l/hr at 7 bar), the system uses very little of a precious resource - water. The nozzles' wide angle spray pattern reduces the number of nozzles required because of the wider spray coverage. For example, in the restaurant, the open eating area is about 2,156 square feet (200 square meters) requiring approximately one nozzle per square meter.
The spray nozzles are controlled manually depending on the temperature, humidity and wind conditions. For example, at a beach area with higher humidity, the spray nozzles would be turned on at different times during the day than at a dry restaurant away from the beach. Usage also depends on whether fans are being used to cool the area.
Another advantage is that the Plastic Spray Fogger Nozzles are affordably priced which makes them a perfect solution to more expensive remodeling or air conditioning.
