12 > 24V boosters
« on: November 04, 2022, 11:57:00 pm »

Hi guys,


quick question, Im using 2x 12>24v boosters/converters to power the 2 mist makers i have for my steam unit.


Each of these units require 24v to run which is why im using 2x converters. But do i need to use 2x converters? or could i just use the 1 to power both misters?


here is the tech spec for the converter:



Features:
Input voltage: DC 10V-32V.
Output voltage: DC12V-35V(adjustable).
Output current: 10A (MAX).
Input current :16A (MAX) (more than 10A please strengthen heatsink).
Output power: natural cooling 100W (MAX), strengthening cooling 150W (MAX) real power.
Conversion efficiency: 94% (when Input 19V 2.5A Output 16V, Reference).
Output ripple: 2% (MAX).
Working temperature: industrial (- 40℃~+85℃) ( environmental temperature, more than 40 degrees, please
reduce power to use, or - enhance cooling).
Full-Load temperature: 45℃.
No-load current: 25mA typical.
Voltage regulation: ± 0.5%.
Load regulation: ± 0.5%.
Dynamic response speed: 200uS 5%.
Short circuit protection: No (Please installs the fuse or protection circuit at input parts).
Input Reverse protection: No (please comply with a reverse protection or connect a diode at input parts.)

The nisters have the following specs each:

Specifications:
Working voltage: AC or DC 24V
Power: 24W
Evaporation: 350ml/H
No light , water level induction switch
The door type high: 12mm
Spray head diameter: Φ45 mm
working frequency: 1700±50(KHZ)
water depth: 50mm~70mm
Working temperature: +1 ~ 45 ℃
Wire: 3.8mmPVC 180cm
Plug type: Φ 5.5 x 2.1 mm male plug

Its all working fine at the moment using the 2x converters (1 for each mister) but if i can get away with using just 1x converter for the 2 misters then this will be less wiring & maybe less drain on the battery?


Any info much appreciated! :)

The power converter provides 100 watts and each mister require 24 watts, so that is 48watts for botth running together.
I used one converter to power 4 misters without any problem.

Or you could buy a nebuliser unit that uses 12V and do away with them all together.

Thanks guys!


I tried a 12v mister, was no where near enough mist for my needs unfortunately.

Was that 12v one you tried a heated oil type or a nebuliser type? 


12v and 24v nebulisers both use the same nebuliser, the only difference being that the 12v one has a control board that contains the circuitry to convert the input voltage to the 24v that the nebuliser needs.


This one works perfectly well on any input voltage from 6v to 18v, this is working on 7.2v:
