Just to clarify, a high pressure system like the one shown here will put out lots of water, depending on the required humidity and how dry the air is. Run time to maintain set point will vary, the smallest flow we recommend is 20 gallons per hour.
Would it be practical to apply this same technology to a much smaller scale unit? Something on the order of 1-5 gallons / 24 hours? How expensive is this system compared to high-pressure systems?
@masster64 This isn't high-pressure fogging. It is sonic fogging. To get more info I would suggest talking to someone in the automotive dept of your local university. If I had to guess, I would say that this particular technology would lead to a serious cost/benefit problem.
Power consumption is much less than steam only one horsepower for every 500 lbs. of water, which is about five percent of the energy usage of compressed air-type systems and about one percent of the energy usage of electric to steam humidifiers.

These are humidifiers for industrial plants and commercial humidification systems, 200 lb/hr and above.

I am interested in high-pressure fogging for a better gasoline injection in internal combustion engines. do you have any documentation for study ?
