Applications
Cooling
■One ca orie is the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1 cm3of water
by 1º C.The conversion of water from iquid to vapor absorbs heat from the surrounding
air at a rate of 590 ca ories per 1 gram of evaporated water. This process owers the air
temperature.
■Efficient insta ation and operation can reduce the temperature in the greenhouse
between 6º and 9º F, depending on two environmenta factors: externa temperature and
externa humidity.
■Efficient coo ing with foggers requires an adequate venti ation system that continua y
introduces externa dry air into the greenhouse to rep ace the humid air.
■A precipitation rate of .118 inches/hour (3mm/hour) is suitab e for coo ing.
■The duration of the fogging depends upon the air ve ocity created by the venti ation
system.
Humidification
■Venti ation must be shut down in order to increase the humidity
■The duration of fogging shou d be as short as possib e
■The interva s between fogging shou d be as short as possib e (1 second)
■A contro er shou d be insta ed to manage the cyc ing in connection with temperature
and humidity sensors.
Air Velocity Interval Duration
0.328 ft/s 10 seconds 1-2 seconds
1.64 ft/s 10 seconds 3-5 seconds
3.28 ft/s 10 seconds 10 seconds
Humidity Interval Duration
30-40% 60 seconds 1 second
40-50% 90 seconds 1 second
50-60% 120 seconds 1 second

Additional Instructions for Cooling and Humidification
■Use tee configuration with 2 Foggers or Super Foggers (4-way or cross is no onger
recommended because they cause high precipitation rates and prevent some of the water
from evaporating)
■Recommended pressure is 60 PSI
■Use high pressure LPD (Leak Prevention Device)
■The foggers shou d be mounted as high as possib e above the ground
■The foggers shou d be insta ed perpendicu ar to the atera ine
■Use anti-twist f exib e PVC viny tube
■Avoid contact between the drop ets and any part of the greenhouse structure
Propagation and Germination
Using Dan Mister
■Green Mist (7.9 GPH)
■Green Mist Jr. (5.3 GPH)
■Recommended working pressure 30 psi
■Low pressure LPD

©2011 Jain Irrigation, Inc. www.jainsusa.com 7
Dan Fogger/Mister
Using Dan 4-Way Fogger
■Recomended working pressure 60 psi.
■Use high pressure LPD
■One fogger shou d be used for every 2.5 square feet.The cross with four foggers wi cover an area up
to 10 square feet (3 to 4 feet wide)
■Mu tip e f ow rates for different precipitation rates.
■To prevent dry edges on a sing e bench (no other benches within 2 feet) the cross shou d not be further
than one foot from the edge. In some instances, two ines may be required on a 4 feet bench.

Maintenance
1. Regular maintenance
a) Routine Maintenance—Every Irrigation
i) Fi tration
(1) Automatic Fi ters
(a) Verify f ushing is occurring proper y
(b) Manua f ush when system reaches operating pressure
(2) Manua Fi ters
(a) Make sure fi ter e ement is c ean before start-up
(b) Make sure pressure differentia on fi ter is within specification for system
ii) F ow Meter
(1) Verifies system f ow rate every time you irrigate. Detects possib e prob ems
(a) High f ows
(i) Verify the correct va ve(s) are open/c osed
(ii) Possib e broken ines
(b) Low f ows
(i) Verify the correct va ves(s) are open/c osed
(ii) Possib e p ugged emitters/sprink ers
iii) Pressure gauges
(1) Verify system pressures every time you irrigate.
(a) High pressures
(i) Verify the correct va ve(s) are open/c osed
(ii) Possib e p ugged Fi ter
(iii) Possib e p ugged emitters/sprink ers
(b) Low pressures
(i) Verify the correct va ve(s) are open/c osed
(ii) Possib e broken ines
iv) Visua Inspections
(1) Fi ter Station
(a) Verify correct pressures and f ow rates are maintained
(2) Va ve Stations
(a) Verify correct va ves are open/c osed
(b) Verify correct pressures
(3) Fie d
(a) Sprink ers are upright
(b) Sprink ers are turning
(c) No Geysers

b) Scheduled Maintenance- Weekly, Monthly
i) Fi tration
(1) Visua y inspect fi ter e ement (screen, disks, sand, etc.)
(a) Verify fi ter e ement is c ean, manua y c ean if needed
(b) Check for wear on fi ter e ement
ii) F ushing
(1) PVC manifo ds, sub mains, and main ines
(a) Consu t designer for f ush time
(2) Latera s (PVC or Po yethy ene)
(a) Ru e of thumb is a ve ocity at 1fps.
(i) 600’ atera takes a minimum of 10 minutes to comp ete
f ushing
(b) Consu t designer for maximum ines to open at once to ensure
adequate f ush ve ocity
iii) Weed Contro
(1) Routine mowing or spray
(a) Weeds b ock rotating sprink ers and disturbs wetting pattern
(b) Excessive vegetation provides a home for insects, insects can cause
externa sprink er p ugging due to nesting in the nozz es.
2) Preventative Maintenance
a) Best Management Practice is performing scheduled and routine maintenance as described above
b) Chemigation
i) Water Treatment
(1) High minera content- acids or phosphates can be used to prevent sca ing,
p ease consu t with your PCA or CCA for recommendation
(2) Organic matter- Biocides (Ch orine) can be used to prevent growth, p ease
consu t with your PCA or CCA for recommendation
c) Fertigation
i) Chemica compatibi ity- Jar test to ensure no precipitates.
(1) Harsh chemica s that increases p ugging and premature wear — Lime,
gypsum, acids, surfactants, etc.
