Roof Spray Cooling Systems

Heat is now transferred out of the building through the roof.

Roof spray cooling systems.

Ember s guard roof sprinkler system is the one of the most effective efficient tool to protect property from wildfire ember attack. Because spray cooled equipment operates at atmospheric pressure the cooling water is not pumped across the area to be cooled. This cooling reverses the heat flow through the roof. Also called an evaporative cooling system a roof misting system lowers surface temperatures by spraying an extremely small amount of water across the roof allowing the water to cool the roof as it evaporates.

Areas where water is in short supply. One study indicates that water use is around 100 gallons per day per 1000 sqft of roof area. This effect creates an effect equivalent of r 7 roof insulation during the day. Spray cooled equipment is the safer alternative to pressurized water cooling.

There are many types of roof systems available but the surface exposed to the sun is the one that determines if a roof is cool or not. Coatings are like very thick paints that can protect the roof surface from ultra violet uv light and chemical damage and some offer water protection and restorative features. It can make a difference for roofs as young as 6 8 years old depending on the weather conditions in a given area. Cool roof coatings are white or special reflective pigments that reflect sunlight.

But we also apply roof maxx to roofs 15 20 years old all the time though some require repairs first. Whitecap roof spray cooling system cooling technology for warm dry climates whitecap is an integrated roof surface and spray cooling system that is suitable for warm dry climates.

An evaporative roof cooling system is designed to reduce the temperature of a roof from 165 f to about 90 f.

The cooled water is collected from the. These systems provide cooling by spraying the water evaporates and cools the surface. Therefore the potential for high pressure high volume water leaks is eliminated. Ember s guard roof sprinkler systems are a temporary fire suppression system they are not designed to put out a fire but help prevent ignition.

Our spray applied polyurethane foam systems provide an astonishing 84 96 roof reflective rate with an inherent roof insulation value ranging from r 6 4 to r 30 lowering inside temperatures up to 10 25 degrees fahrenheit. You can usually make a new or existing roof cool by selecting the appropriate surface. Whitecap provides a means to evaporatively and radiatively cool water by spraying it over a building roof at night. Spray on roof coatings commercial roofing the home depot store finder.
