Spray systems for performance enhancement and energy efficiency.
Stilworx designs and supplies industrial fogging and high fogging systems for applications where atomisation quality and evaporation speed directly influence plant performance.
Our solutions reduce the temperature of the air or process gas through controlled evaporation, improving operational efficiency and, in energy applications, increasing available power output and reducing specific fuel consumption.
Stilworx supplies fogging systems developed for new installations and retrofit of existing plants, in particular for applications on gas turbines and energy systems, designed to:
The performance of a fogging system depends on droplet size, evaporation rate, and distribution quality. Stilworx adopts dedicated fogging technology lines, selected based on application requirements.
High-pressure fogging for maximum evaporation efficiency.
The Stilworx high-pressure fogging system is designed to generate extremely fine droplets, ensuring rapid evaporation and uniform air or gas cooling. This technology is adopted when: inlet air cooling directly influences cycle performance, maximum evaporation in limited space is required, wetting and droplet carryover must be avoided.
Systems are characterised by: very fine and controlled droplet size, high evaporation efficiency, precise regulation via variable-speed pumps, stable performance over a wide operating range.
Greater cooling capacity for high-flow applications.
High Fogging systems are developed for applications requiring greater cooling capacity and rapid response to load variations, such as large ducts or high-flow systems.
These systems are designed to: operate reliably in the presence of large air volumes, maintain uniform spray distribution, ensure stable cooling under variable conditions.
The spray layout and control strategies are optimised to maximise cooling effectiveness, avoiding carryover phenomena and protecting downstream equipment.
From design to commissioning, we develop solutions designed to optimize system performance and adapt to actual process conditions.
Systems are designed starting from the process and its thermodynamic impact. Key design parameters include: ambient conditions and their variability, airflow distribution, evaporative behaviour, droplet size and penetration, water quality and availability, control and regulation logic. Spray design is a central element in ensuring predictable and repeatable performance.
In energy and industrial applications, fogging systems directly contribute to performance improvement. Typical benefits include: increased available power output, improved heat rate, greater operational stability under critical ambient conditions. These effects translate into tangible economic benefits, with generally short investment payback periods.
The economic impact of a fogging system depends on: operating hours, ambient conditions, cycle configuration, energy cost, achievable performance improvement. In many applications, the increase in energy output enables a rapid return on investment.
Stilworx supports interventions on existing plants to improve their performance through fogging systems. Activities include: integration into existing air intake systems, upgrade of existing fogging systems, adaptation to new operating conditions or new performance objectives. Retrofit solutions are developed to minimise installation time and operational impact.
Fogging systems can be supplied as: complete custom-designed packages, skid-based modular units, retrofit solutions. Stilworx supports fabrication, installation, and commissioning activities to ensure design performance is achieved.
The Stilworx engineering team can assist with the technical evaluation of the process and the identification of the most suitable solution.
