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 energy exchange process, meaning the misting fans can cool even faster. That even in a very hot area, the fans can cool the place very quickly.

Water misting fans are effective in both humid and dry climates. Having a dryer air level will ensure that the cool mist that the fans spray, evaporate quicker and therefore will cool an area faster. The misting nozzles on each one of these fans have extremely small orifices. In turn, each fan produces water droplets so small, that when blown by the fan, instantly evaporate leaving only a cool and refreshing breeze.

Water misting fans can be used both outdoors and indoors. Many industrial facilities are starting to see the benefits these water misting fans provide for their employees. Residential and commercial clients often use them to cool greenhouses, patios, outdoor restaurants, worksites or areas where sporting events are held. The fans not only cool the area but can help clear dust and repel odors and flying insects, especially during hot, stuffy evenings.

If you’re looking for a great way to keep refreshed on hot days, consider getting water misting fans to stay cool.

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 twenty degree drop in temperature on their patio, but in industrial settings, outdoor misting fans have actually shown a 55 degree drop in temperature in the dry heated air of a copper smelter.

Imagine the outside temperature being 100 degrees. Let’s face it, hardly anyone wants to be outside in that type of weather. Imagine being able to walk outside and activating a misting fan system where all you have to do is turn on the power to the fans, and click the remote control to fire up the high pressure pump unit. While everyone on your block is trapped inside their homes due to the heat, you are able to enjoy dining on the patio at a comfortable eighty degrees.

An additional benefit of these fans is that they repel insects, flies and pesky mosquitoes and sometimes even work better than bug zappers, citronella, and yard sprays. Many garden enthusiasts also love having the added ability to work in their garden during the warmest of days. Simply position each fan in the direction you are working and the cool air is delivered your way. If dust or pollen are present, the water vapor will settle them down in just a few minutes.

Outdoor misting fans also work very well to keep your pets cool when they want to play. If you need to work in your garage or shop, set a portable misting fan in an open door or window, turn it on and watch the temperature drop.

As a reminder, be sure that any outdoor misting fan is plugged into a GFI rated outlet just to be extra cautious. This is important since you are mixing water and electricity.
