WARM FOG DISSIPATION USING LARGE VOLUME WATER SPRAYS

摘要

Warm Fog Dissipation Using LargeVolume Water SpraysAbstractTo accomplish the removal of warm fog about anarea such as an airport runway (11) shown in Fig. 1, aplurality of nozzles (17) along a line (15) adjacentthe area propelled water jets (19) through the fog toheights of approximately twenty-five meters. Eachwater jet (19) breaks up forming a water drop sizedistribution that falls through the fog overtaking,colliding, and coalescing with individual fog dropletsand thereby removes the fog. A water retrieval system(15) is used to collect the water and return it toreservoirs (21) for pumping it to the nozzles (17) onceagain.
