Water misting fans are a viable alternative to air conditioning as a means of cooling various spaces. These misting fan systems utilize the process know as evaporative cooling, and can lower temperatures as much as 35 degrees. These misting fans are similar to humidifiers in how they work. This means that they basically work by increasing the humidity or the amount of moisture in the air in a particular area, such as a room. The fan blows a very fine mist of water into the air to achieve this. This moisture then evaporates, and absorbs the heat from the air, effectively cooling the area. The hotter the area, the quicker the evaporation occurs. This is the result using up more heat by the...

Outdoor misting fans can drop the temperature on your patio by twenty degrees or more. The great news is that the warmer the temperature, the better these fans work. An outdoor misting fan combines the cooling power of an outdoor misting system with a fan. Perhaps you have visited a theme park and walked through one of their misting systems. No matter how warm it is, you immediately feel cooler. This is due to the science referred to as thermal dynamics, or flash evaporation. The amount of actual cooling that can take place on your patio depends on two things. The first is the actual temperature of the air outside and second is the relative humidity of the air. Most people report about a...
