A triplex pump is a type of positive displacement pump used in a number of high-pressure applications. Positive displacement pumps work on the principle of gradually reducing the volume of the working fluid and forcing it into a discharge opening, thereby increasing pressure, which results in providing a flow. This pump is a reciprocating pump that uses three plungers or pistons to pump the working fluid, hence the name triplex pump. Pistons are typically used in triplex pumps that are suitable for systems with working pressure of up to 1000 psi, whereas plungers are generally used when the working pressure exceed 1000 psi.
The construction of these triplex pumps is similar to that of a three-cylinder internal combustion engine, with three plungers, or pistons, in three corresponding cylinders. The pumping action is facilitated by the reciprocating nature of the single acting plungers in the cylinders, which work by taking suction of the working fluid on the downwards stroke, while pressurizing as well as discharging on the upstroke.
A single prime mover drives the three plungers, and in many cases, the prime mover is an electric motor. Some other common prime movers used to drive a triplex pump are hydraulic motors and diesel engines. The reciprocating movement of the pistons is achieved through a camshaft. The prime mover drives the camshaft, which in turn causes the three plungers to reciprocate in a specific order so that one plunger discharges for every 120 degrees rotation of the prime mover. Unlike a simplex, single plunger pump that produces an intermittent discharge, the triplex pump provides a smoother flow. In addition, the average flow rate of a triplex pump is significantly higher than that of a simplex or a duplex pump. The volume and pressure achieved by the pump is directly proportional to the prime mover RPM, such that an increase in prime mover RPM causes an increase in the pressure and volume output of the pump.
This type of pump is ideal for applications in NanoTeH2O pump series, that require high pressure application to the nozzle. While the pump itself does not create the high pressure it is the nozzle that restricts and balances the flow, giving up a high pressure misting systems.

High Pressure Misting (Fogging) is a very effective & efficient way to cool down large areas even in high humidity climates. In fact, many of the more humid states such as Texas, Florida & other South Eastern States with a very high average humidity, are among our largest growing states with mist equipment sales more then doubling since 2006.
This is in a large part because people are finally being educated to the fact that high pressure mist systems can cool down any area in any climate as long as they are installed properly. With the use of the correct size mist nozzles, nozzle & mist line placement, pump size and the correct use of misting fans we can cool down almost any area as much as 25 degrees with out getting anyone wet. This is because we have the capability of producing such a fine mist droplet that it evaporates almost immediately even in the most humid conditions.

The NanoTech & NanoTecH2O systems are the most qualified outdoor cooling system available on the market today! Each system is a custom designed as an integrated cooling system that will cool your covered outdoor areas without coating everything with moisture. Our ambient cooling system utilizes our own manufactured and assembled high pressured pump system. All equipment comes right from Texas and is assembled in a Combat Veteran owned business, that has been around for 20 Plus years. The NanoTecH2O series pumps delivers 1100 psi allowing for “Flash Evaporation” to occur and cool the air, dropping the ambient temperature up to 25 degrees. In a high humidity area such as Texas we consider several different factors when designing your unique system. These factors are the time of day you will be using the system, as the humidity levels begin to drop around 3 pm in North Texas. Most of our systems designed for Texas are “air assisted”. This allows for a faster evaporation. As the mist evaporates and Flash Evaporation occurs, the surrounding heat is burned off by what is termed as a “caloric ambient burn” causing the temperature to drop, by consuming “Heat” energy with the displaced moisture. Each system is custom built for your beautiful outdoor area and will provide a cool comfortable environment, even in the intense summer heat. NanoTech designed and built our 1st Air Assisted High Pressure Duct System for installation in Encore Beach club at the Encore Hotel in Las Vegas back in November 2009. That is almost 7 years of practical field design and application. We 1st started designing and installing misting systems with one of our 1st projects dating back to Feb 1999 for 6 Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California.
