The SMI 420F Floating Evaporator has the following features:
Floating unit supported by close celled foam containing plastic pontoons
Low plume height for shorter drift distance of droplets and to allow longer operation in swirling or constantly changing winds
Heavy industrial construction for durability and long life, including stainless control panel, motor enclosure, manifold and fan blade
Vibration sensor to shut down motor before a catastrophic failure due to residue or ice build-up
200 foot continuous chord (with no splicing needed)
7.5 HP stainless steel submersible pump supplying 80 gpm at 100 psi
The SMI 420F Evaporator provides many advantages versus competitive products.
Less Buildup:
The SMI 420 Floating Evaporator is designed with minimal amount of top surface area for residue or ice to build up. There is little cleanup or maintenance required.
High Performance:
High speed fan blade rotation (3600 rpm) that creates an optimum water droplet distribution for evaporation. Average annual evaporation rates up to 70% have been achieved with average rates typically between 25-to-60%, depending on many factors such as ambient temperature, relative humidity, water make-up and wind conditions. In general, the warmer and drier the conditions, the higher the evaporation rates achieved.
Easy Maintenance:
The machine is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. The unit requires no weekly greasing of bearings.
Large Orifice Size:
The SMI 420 Floating Evaporator can pass particles up to 3/16 (5mm) in diameter. This eliminates the need for pre-filtering, filter cleaning and the hassles of clogged nozzles.
Extreme Duty:
The SMI 420 Floating Evaporator design has evolved from 20 years experience in industrial and extreme outdoor applications. The polyethylene plastic pontoons are filled with close celled polyurethane foam, ensuring buoyancy even after any accidental puncturing that may occur of the plastic outer shell. Critical components are constructed of stainless steel for extended life in harsh environmental conditions.
Options:
For acidic or high alkaline water applications or a highly corrosive environment, SMI offers an upgraded version with chemical resistant coating on the boom, platform and base frame. Alternatively, the boom can be produced with stainless steel.
