Water mist systems are used due to the various advantages they bring to the farmer. here you have one complete guide with all the key facts about mist irrigation.

What does the water mist system consist of?
It is an irrigation system that allows the spraying of water on its way out of the conduit. In nebulization, the water is dispersed in the form of mist, so that it achieves maintain moisture and cool crops using only the water strictly necessary. It is also known in English as fog system.
What types of nebulization systems are there?
There are two types of systems of nebulization of water for irrigation that are differentiated by the pressure that it will have to support –if it is high or low-. The application of one or the other will depend on the type of installation. Let's see it in more detail:
a) Water misting for high pressure irrigation
The water sprayers high pressure are almost exclusively professional use since they are designed to withstand high pressures in the water flows it receives, also expanding the irrigation circle they cover.
b) Nebulization of water for low pressure irrigation
water misting parts low pressure It is usually implanted in greenhouses germination or cutting. This is because the particle size of the water produced is very small and does not alter the substrates.
In addition to using it for the purpose of watering and lowering the temperature, in certain cases it is implanted to carry out the contribution of agrochemicals, or as a fumigation or foliar fertilizer system.
What is needed to install a water mist system?
To install a water mist system we need four basic components:
Pumping system
The pumping system is the one in charge of provide the necessary water pressure to run through the entire piping system to reach the nebulizers. Hence we can say that, in the course, it would be the first element to implement in the installation of a water mist system.
boiler
Team of pressurized water storage that supplies the system at the necessary pressure, causing the pump to activate only when the pressure regulator differential pressure switch detects a drop in pressure.
Filter
Filters are another elementary part of a water mist system as they prevent any type of particle from accessing the emitter (in this case the nebulizers), preventing them from becoming clogged, damaged or deteriorated.
Pipe network
the pipe network will lead the water to the nebulizers. The diameter will vary depending on the section of the installation in which it is located, and depending on the flow to be transported.
At the end of the path of this system are the elements that disperse the water: The nebulizers. There are nebulizers with different flow rates and number of nozzles depending on the characteristics of the installation.
It is recommended to place stabilizers in them so that they work perpendicular to the ground at all times and the system does not lose efficiency.
For the drip irrigation system To be efficient, the nebulizer arrangement framework must be reduced (the environment becomes saturated earlier).
