CO2 Vapor Fogger FAQs

  • The CO2 Fogger works on the principle of combining dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) with heated, ultra-pure (DI) water in a hard anodized heating chamber to produce a non-contaminating fog. The fogger is protected by over-temperature sensors and can be run dry without harming the equipment.
  • CO2 in normal (lack of high heat) conditions is stable, inert and non-toxic.
  • The average atmosphere, including cleanrooms, contains ~3.3% CO2.
  • The average person exhales 5.5% CO2.
  • The CO2 used in the Fogger is the same CO2. It is not in particle form. There are no carbon particles, nor any residue left from contact with the vapor.
  • Liquid CO2 as used in our dry ice block maker can be purchased as pure as 0.98%.
  • CO2 is used in many specialized ultra-pure cleaning applications in the semiconductor and other industries in a “snow “ form.
  • No, disinfectants or other additives cannot be added to the water.
  • No, this fogger is not intended to eliminate insects or pests.

Fogger Technology

The three types of foggers manufactured for use in the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industry are described below.

Ultrapure Fogger: This type of fogger produced by MSP provides the highest volume, density and purity of fog. Purity is created by bringing the water to a boil, creating a vapor, while simultaneously using gravity to remove the residual mass from the vapor. This process removes any bacterial agents and residual particulate matter from the vapor. The pure vapor is then passed over an LN2 bath, which naturally boils at room temperature. The water molecules quickly attach to the nitrogen molecules (quenching process), creating a nominal 3um fog droplet. The volume of water and nitrogen molecules that combine is extremely high in quantity, creating a dense, high volume, ultrapure fog output with exit temperatures of about 80 degrees F with an exit pressure of = 0.5 lbs, so as not to disturb the surrounding airflow. The fog is ultrapure leaving minimal, if any, trace particles behind. It evaporates to its gaseous hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen components, which are natural to the Cleanroom environment. The high density of the fog increases the duration and travel distance of the fog. This fogger can be used in any class Cleanroom environment.

DI Water Fogger: This type of fogger has less fog density (less capability to visualize airflow) than the UltraPure Fogger described above, but more density than the CO2 fogger described below. The DI water fog is generated by atomizing DI water into water droplets, which are nominally 3-10um in size. The water droplets contain residual particulate matter from the DI water, and when the water droplet evaporates in the Cleanroom, the particulate matter remains as a “haze particle 10nm to 100nm in diameter” adrift in the air currents. If the facility manager operates a class 10000 (or worse) Cleanroom, the use of this fogger poses no problem. However, Cleanroom Engineers who manage facilities operating at Class 1 to Class 1000 performance should not use DI water fog, since the resulting Haze particles have a potential to affect the semiconductor yield or the pharmaceutical drug process. Although some DI Water foggers are described as ultrapure, unless the DI water is vaporized to remove bacterial agents and residual particulate matter, the fog is not ultrapure. The 3-5lb output pressure of a DI water fogger also distorts the airflow patterns, thus adding to the turbulence. The temperature output is typically less than the surrounding room temperature, thus a fog generated from the atomized water droplets will sink in a typical 70 degree room temperature.

CO2 Fogger: This type of fogger is designed for low volume, non-process critical applications such as bench airflow testing. The fog is created using CO2 ice as the fogging agent. The fog contains elements of the CO2 and the user must determine if the residual CO2 components are acceptable in a process environment operating Class 1 to Class 1,000. The 2-3lb output pressure of a CO2 fogger also distorts the airflow patterns, thus adding to the turbulence.
