Mist Fans or Mist Line?

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

When choosing a mist cooling system, one has to decide whether to use mist fans, mist line or a combination of the two.

Our high pressure misting fans evaporate 100% of the mist and circulates the air to provide maximum cooling. It is not uncommon to see temperature drops of 16-25 degrees! Mist cooling fans are the most effective way to cool an area!

If electrical outlets for the fan are not nearby or if you would prefer not to see a mist cooling fan than mist line or misting stakes are for you.

Stainless steel mist tubing or nylon mist tubing is usually installed along the outside perimeter of covered patios, awnings, gazebos etc. A high pressure mist cooling system evaporates the tiny water droplets in the air cooling the air without getting anything wet. This causes a curtain of cool air surrounding you.

No structure, no problem. High pressure mist cooling/fog effects stakes can be hidden in landscaped areas. When a perimeter of high pressure mist is created around an area, no matter which way the wind blows, the cool air will move through the target area. When there is no wind the air will mix and still cool the target area.

Maintenance of high pressure mist cooling systems will help you get the most out of your system and prevent many common problems. High pressure mist cooling systems require excellent filtration to protect your pump and prevent the nozzles from getting clogged. Mist cooling systems should also be flushed when the filters are replaced. Many high pressure misting pumps required periodic oil changes, the time between oil changes can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Feel free to ask any questions you may have if you are planning to do the maintenance yourself.
