As a means of providing an effective method of cooling in outdoor locations a misting system is one of the best. These misting systems have been proven to work in domestic situations such as patios, greenhouses and pergolas as well as commercial situations such as restaurants.
The system works by passing water through fine misting nozzles under high pressure and the cooling is provided through a process known as flash evaporation. The tiny water droplets are so fine that they become a cool mist that also cools the surrounding air temperature. Those who have been cooled using this method will have noticed that even though the air is sprayed with fine water it doesn’t leave you feeling wet. In fact it simply leaves you feeling cooler.
The price of an outdoor misting system depends on a number of factors such as the size of the area you wish to cool. This will then determine the number of misting nozzles that will be required. When considering cost you should know that the price of misting nozzles only runs to around $10 per nozzle. However if you are attempting to cover a large area the number of nozzles will bump the price up considerably.
Running the misting system is relatively inexpensive because you are simply passing water through the system and out of the nozzles at high pressure. The opening in these nozzles is very small and so the rate of water flow is very low. The operating cost becomes one of the cheapest methods of air conditioning available. Due to the low cost of the nozzles themselves it also doesn’t cost a lot to maintain the system should you need to buy replacement nozzles.
These systems are used in a number of different circumstances, particularly in industrial situations where it is necessary to keep machinery cool and to dampen down dust. The size of the water droplets can be adjusted by replacing the various misting nozzles depending on the rate of water flow that is required.
Setting up an outdoor misting system is definitely a cooling option that is worth pursuing.
