Study of Sodium Chloride’s Effect on Warm Fog Dissipation and its Mechanism Research

Abstract

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is often used for warm mist elimination because of its easy deliquescence performance. In this paper, how dosages of NaCl with two sizes affect warm fog was investigated. The changes of light transmittance (T) and fog drops inside the fog chamber were monitored. Results indicate that NaCl particles smaller than 40μm work better than that of 40-100μm, shortening time of the light transmittance recovering to 60%(t60%) by 83.3% with 25g. Reasons for this are they can decrease the percentages of small droplets, increase that of large droplets and the average sizes of fog drops, which are results from the condensation growth and coalescence growth.
