Keep Your Cool With Outdoor Misting Fans
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 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.
