In most circumstances,
However, in order to operate effectively at temperatures below this, the water or product being sprayed must be prevented from freezing. Adequate insulation and/or heat tracing can help to prevent freezing in pumps, hoses and pipework, but this is not always adequate to allow effective treatment to continue at sub-zero temperatures, as the water mist may form ice crystals upon contact with the freezing air.
It is therefore recommended to dose SubZero, a safe-to-use antifreeze fluid, into the equipment's water pipework. Where installed Atomister systems are concerned,
The dosing system can be thermostatically controlled to initiate dosing when the ambient air temperature falls below a predetermined level, e.g. +2°C. The dose rate can be set to afford an adequate level of protection to the system according to prevailing conditions.
As a general guide, we suggest the following dosing rates for SubZero Antifreeze:
Ambient air temperature ranging from +2°C to -2°C |
Dosing rate: 10% volume to volume |
Ambient air temperature ranging from -2°C to -5°C |
Dosing rate: 15% volume to volume |
Ambient air temperature ranging from -5°C to -10°C |
Dosing rate: 25% volume to volume |
Ambient air temperature ranging from -10°C to -15°C |
Dosing rate: 33% volume to volume |
