•The SmartMist™ system works by delivering an on-demand micro mist in front of the condensing coil
•The mist flash evaporates instantly and continues until fully evaporated off of either the coil or a mist capturing media (depending on water quality & water treatment choice)
•Instant ambient air evaporative cooling around the unit (up to 40oF)
•Most effective heat transfer method available
•Benefits:
Head pressure and amperage draw are instantly reduced by up to 25%
Cooling capacity is increased by up to 20%
Coefficient of performance (COP) is increased
Life of condenser is extended
Potential Evaporative Cooling
SMARTMIST™ technology takes advantage of 90% to
100% of this potential cooling
The SmartMist System Solution

•One gallon of water has ~8,000 BTU of cooling potential (heat of vaporization)
• The more efficiently water is evaporated, the more of its full cooling potential can be realized
• The greater the surface area, the quicker it evaporates
•Our systems use patented ultra low flow atomization nozzles to form a mist of fine water droplets 5 to 30 microns. Giving 1 gallon of water the surface area of a Soccer Field!•Once released into air, these tiny water droplets instantly absorb heat and evaporate, thus cooling the air

Water Use & TreatmentSmartMist Evaporative Pre-Cooling
http://youtu.be/XKHfHq300aA
Use:The SmartMist system annual use: Approximately 250 to 350 gallons/ton per year for a commercial building application
Marginal Front Range cost of water: $4.81/1000 gals
Treatment:Cloudburst uses a three step process to minimize and eliminate any impact of water on DX coils and equipment:
1. Test2. Formulate Solution3. Monitor
Additionally, Cloudburst will provide a warranty for any host system original warranty where SmartMist evaporative pre-cooling is applied. (most warranties cannot be voided due to the installation of a SmartMist system or any other evaporative pre-cooling system). Our warranty covers the replacement or repair of any coil that becomes fouled or compromised due to the operation of our systems.

SCALE PREVENTION OPTIONSWe keep your coils clean & safe in all water conditions & use – Guaranteed!
• Water is tested prior to water treatment &/or filter selection.
• Our primary water treatment is the Cloudburst proprietary smartStop™formulation of a proven TAC scale eliminating technology.
• In areas with extreme hardness and water conditions or upon customerrequest, other techniques such as RO, Traditional Water Softening,Deionization or Mist Barrier Filters may be used.

smartStop™ Water Treatment
smartStop™ isTested and Certified by theWater Quality Association toNSF/ANSI Standard 61.
Atomic sized nucleation sites on the surface of small polymerbeads convert dissolved hardness into microscopic crystals.
Once the crystals grow to a certain size they are released from thebead. The crystals in solution keep the hardness out of the waterso that it can’t form scale.
