XE 2000-HS Hanging Sump

XE 2000 Fog Fan – Hanging Sump
Industrial Humidification &
Evaporative Cooling System

Manufactured in the USA by Jaybird Manufacturing

The Aquafog XE-2000-HS centrifugal fogging system is Jaybird’s largest atomizer, engineered for high-output industrial humidification, evaporative cooling, and environmental control in greenhouse and industrial environments requiring long projection distance and consistent fog volume.

The hanging sump configuration recirculates unused water, allowing installation in facilities where a drain connection is unavailable

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 Hanging Sump configuration requires no drainage line. The integrated sump tank recycles waste water, making the XE 2000-HS ideal for facilities where drain access is limited or where plumbing installation is not practical.

XE 2000 systems produce tiny particles that evaporate quickly for humidification and evaporative cooling. Output is regulated by a quarter-turn ball valve 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 greenhouse and harsh-environment use. HS includes 20’ of water line and 15’ power.

Delivers powerful high-volume fog for large-area cooling and
humidification in industrial and agricultural environments.

Drain-Free Humidification & Cooling Applications

The Jaybird Aquafog XE-2000-HS Hanging Sump system is designed for humidification and evaporative cooling applications where a floor drain or continuous water supply may not be available. The integrated recirculating sump tank captures and reuses water, allowing reliable fog production in environments that require a self-contained humidification system.

This configuration is commonly used in greenhouses, horticulture facilities, mushroom growing operations, and other agricultural environments where maintaining proper humidity levels is critical for plant health and production.

Arrives ready to install

Typical applications include:

  • Greenhouse humidification systems
  • Horticulture and propagation facilities
  • Mushroom growing operations
  • Agricultural and controlled-environment farming
  • Facilities without floor drainage
  • Industrial spaces requiring self-contained humidification

By combining Jaybird’s nozzle-free centrifugal fogging technology with a recirculating sump tank, the XE-2000-HS provides dependable humidification and cooling performance while minimizing water waste and installation requirements.

Features & Controls

XE 2000-HS units include an internal feed pump, a manual 1/4-turn flow control valve, an illuminated On/Off power switch, and an internal float valve to maintain proper tank water level during operation.

  • Large tank access lid
  • 1/4-turn flow control valve
  • 3 gallon recirculation tank
  • Indoor/Outdoor rated (IP55)
  • Illuminated push-button switch
  • Garden hose connection

The manual ball valve allows operators to adjust fogging output based on the application. Lower feed rates generally produce a drier, finer fog, while higher feed rates increase output volume for broader coverage.

Flow Control Guide

Valve Position Typical Use Fog Character
Full Open Evaporative cooling, greenhouse cooling, concrete curing, mushroom growing Highest output / heavier fog
Mid Open General humidification, horticulture, wine barrel storage, wood/lumber/paper applications Balanced output / general-purpose fogging
Slightly Open Textile humidification, dust suppression, static control, lighter treatment applications Drier / finer fog

Control Tip: Start with a lower valve setting and increase flow only as needed. This helps maintain finer fog quality and reduces excess wetting.


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.


See comparisons of Jaybird atomizers in action (1:17 video)

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.
