Customer: Enterprise Products (Houston, Texas)
Type of Business: Propane Transfer
The Problem: This company owns and operates boat loading facilities in Houston, TX for oil, natural gas and propane. Historically, propane had been loaded onto tankers during the winter to minimize heat expansion and facilitate faster transfer from land to ships. World demand has grown and changed; now ships must be loaded in the summer months too. But because the dry cooling tower could not keep the propane cool enough during the hot summer days, the transfer rates would stop or were so slow that tankers would start lining up in the harbor.
The Solution: Our largest state of the art 1400-Nozzle Commercial Pre-Cooling Misting System which was installed under the dry cooling tower in order to lower temperatures. The cooling capacity was improved by approximately 30%. So that even on the hottest days, the propane transfer rates were as good as the middle of winter. System was so efficient that entire project was paid-off within 1 Day! Talking about return on investment!

Customer: Ashcroft Bakery (Stafford, Texas)
Type of Business: Commercial Bakery
The Problem: This commercial bakery mass produces a wide assortment of fresh breads, rolls, buns, muffins, cookies, cakes, pastries, pies and other specialty items on daily basis. Bakery is one of the largest supplier for restaurants and grocery stores in greater Houston area and operates 7 days a week. Entire indoor facility has no air conditioning system and their 150ft long oven room consists rows of walk-in ovens operating 12-15 hours a day. Average indoor temperatures of 100-105 degrees was normal. Heat from these ovens made it almost impossible for the employees to work in and around this oven room and be productive at the same time. In addition, extra dry heat was ruining baked products.
The Solution: A network of strategically placed mist lines with multiple zones and ultra fine stainless steel mist nozzles with anti-drip feature. All powered by industry leading 1500psi high pressure mist pump. Because of its indoor application, entire misting system was professionally calibrated to achieve flash evaporation ensuring that the floor does not get slippery/wet and manufacturing equipment does not collect any moisture. Result was up to 20% reduction in temperature. A comfortable environment was created and workers have never been happier. In addition, same misting system was configured to increase the humidity in the storage room to keep the products "moist."

Customer: Dacentec, Inc (Lenoir, North Carolina)
Type of Business: Building Green Datacenters
The Problem: This company designs and builds ultra GREEN data centers. Rising cost of energy combined with environmental objectives to lower carbon footprints has led to much greater demand from both existing and new datacenters for methods to improve power usage. Their goal was to optimize each level of the data centers and bring energy levels well below the normal levels. They needed reliable and cost effective solution that would achieve significant power savings for their next generation datacenters. Challenge was to implement a system that can keep servers cool using only fresh air, thus eliminating use of air conditioners on a 101-degree days.
The Solution: Cooling Inc's pre-cooling system was installed to "Pre-Cool" the outside air coming in to the datacenter. The outside air was passed through a mixing room via large fans, where it was mixed with cool mist to regulate the temperature. This multi-zone misting system was tied into the building automation system so it started when the humidity dropped from the heat or the mixture on the outside air source. MistCooling Inc's Scale Free TAC filtration was also installed to eliminate calcium buildup and to reduce maintenance time. By managing humidity and heat, our fresh air cooling mist system allowed Dacentec to achieve significant power savings(up to 5 times), increased reliability and huge energy reductions compared to other datacenter construction models. With use of our mist system, this GREEN datacenter now has carbon footprint that is 75% less than traditional datacenters. More and more companies are now using misting systems to improve energy efficiency. Facebook and Google have already installed misting systems in numerous datacenters.

Customer: AAU
Type of Business: Junior Olympics
The Problem: The AAU Junior Olympic Games is the largest, national, multi-sporting event conducted for young athletes. Approximately 15,000 participants representing the 50 states and U.S. territories were to take part in 18 various sports. With an estimated 500,000 spectators, the economic impact for the local host communities was estimated at over $60 million. For the first time 2012 Junior Olympic Games were scheduled to be held in Houston during the months of July and August. These are the hottest months of Texas summer where temperatures reach triple digits on regular basis. Knowing this, AAU Junior Olympics committee reached out to MistCooling Inc in early February to help them find cooling solution for the participating athletes. Their biggest concern was heat stress and heat related injuries to young athletes.
The Solution: MistCooling Inc strongly believes in promotion and development of sports and physical fitness programs. We could not let any future superstars get hurt in our hometown! So with all hands on deck and less than 5 months to event deadline, we decided to custom build portable fan misting units from ground up. After looking at other portable mist fans in the industry we realized that most of them operated around 40-150psi and generated poor quality mist that often "rained on" anyone standing in front of them. Others were too bulky to move around and yet consisted of small fans that did not oscillate. So we decided to build powerful mist fans with highest performance and comfort that is expected from a MADE IN USA product. End result was 24''and 30''oscillating high velocity mist cooling fans with rugged steel frame and all terrain wheels. Industry leading 1500psi mist pump produced ultrafine fog that flash evaporated instantly even in the humid Houston weather. Misting Fan's comfort grip handles at optimal standing height allowed a single user to move this portable unit easily without lifting or getting hurt. Well-planned design of the steel frame ensured that the mist fans do not tilt over and allowed easier loading and unloading off the trucks. MistCooling Inc was able to meet all requirements set forth by the Olympics committee. Numerous portable units were installed throughout Turner Stadium as workers started preparing the venue for the big event. Two week Junior Olympic event in Texas heat saw consistent triple digit temperatures. However, not a single heat related incident was reported at conclusion of these games! Our mist fans were termed as "Life Savers" by the Junior Olympic Committee and received invaluable approval of the athletes and parents.
