Turbo XE-Exp

XE 2000 Fog Fan – Explosion-Proof Industrial Humidification & Evaporative Cooling System

Manufactured in the USA by Jaybird Manufacturing

The Aquafog XE-2000-EXP centrifugal fogging system is Jaybird’s largest atomizer, engineered for high-output industrial humidification, evaporative cooling, and environmental control in hazardous industrial environments requiring explosion-proof motor protection.

Unlike high-pressure nozzle systems or spinning disc foggers, the XE utilizes a nozzle-free centrifugal atomizer that helps eliminate clogging while delivering high-volume, ultra-fine fog dispersion.

The Explosion-Proof (EXP) configuration is designed for use in classified environments where hazardous vapors, dust, or combustible particles may be present. The motor is rated for Class I, Group D and Class II, Groups F & G locations.

XE 2000 systems produce tiny particles that evaporate quickly for humidification and evaporative cooling. Output is regulated by a stainless-steel visual flowmeter panel and can be operated continuously or automated using a secondary controller.

Indoor/Outdoor applications include: Humidification, Evaporative Cooling, and Chemical Fogging.

Stainless-steel fabrication and UV-stabilized polymers allow for harsh-environment use. The EXP model includes 20’ of water line and 16’ of drainage line. Line lengths may be customized during the ordering process.

Hazardous Environment Humidification Applications

The Jaybird Aquafog XE-2000-EXP explosion-proof fogger is designed for humidification and evaporative cooling in hazardous or classified environments where standard industrial equipment cannot be safely installed. Equipped with an explosion-proof motor and heavy-duty construction, the XE-2000-EXP allows facilities to control humidity while maintaining strict safety requirements.

This configuration is commonly used in chemical processing facilities, petroleum operations, industrial manufacturing plants, and other environments where combustible dust, vapors, or hazardous conditions may be present.

Typical applications include:

  • Chemical processing facilities
  • Petroleum and refinery operations
  • Hazardous industrial environments
  • Manufacturing areas with combustible dust
  • Industrial humidity control in classified locations
  • Evaporative cooling in safety-regulated facilities

Using Jaybird’s centrifugal atomization technology, the XE-2000-EXP delivers consistent fog output without clogging nozzles, making it a dependable solution for demanding industrial environments where reliability and safety are critical.

SST Flowmeter Panel

Turbo XEs come with a visual flowmeter panel of your choice.

Flowmeters connect to a pressurized water supply. A needle valve regulates flow going to the XE unit. The clear polycarbonate construction allows for visual monitoring of the flow. Requires a pressurized supply (10-100 PSI).

Flowmeters are available in different ranges. The appropriate range (based per application) can be selected during the ordering process.

Flowmeter (Feed-Rate) Ranges per Application:


8-32 GPH  (nets 15.8 max)

5-25 GPH  (nets 14.8 max)
*3-15 GPH  (nets 10.6 max)

How Jaybird Atomizes Water Without Nozzles

Jaybird fog systems use a patented centrifugal atomizing blade developed in 1986. Water enters a reservoir behind the fan blade and is forced through internal channels inside each blade. As the blade spins, centrifugal force drives water toward the blade tips where it exits through precision openings.

At the blade tip, several processes occur simultaneously:

  • The rotating blade atomizes the water into fine droplets
  • A venturi accelerates airflow around the blade
  • A ring of atomizing pins further breaks droplets into fog
  • Particle size is variable and desired size can be controlled by the feed rate

This multi-stage atomization process allows Jaybird systems to produce large volumes of fog while using a simple, reliable design with no high-pressure pumps or clogging nozzles.

The result is powerful fog production, strong air propulsion, and long-term reliability.
