Evaluation of Warm-Fog Abatement Chemicals

Abstract

The report presents an evaluation of glycerine, diethylene-and tetraethylene-glycol as warm-fog abatement chemicals. Only one fog-abatement test was conducted using glycerine because of a lack of fog during the test period. Nineteen micron glycerine droplets were sprayed at 21 gal/acre into a 250 ft deep stratus deck from a tethered hot-air balloon. The droplets cleared a hole in the fog by reducing the relative humidity in the stratus deck which caused the stratus droplets to evaporate.
