How does a misting fan work better than a standard fan?
In a warm environment your body sweats and perspiration forms on your skin. As the circulating air from the fan moves over your skin it evaporates the perspiration. Energy is used in that process and the result is a coolness on the skin. In addition, the moving air is more efficient at removing heat from your body. With a misting fan, water is added to the equation. A fine spray of water is combined with the air movement of the fan. The most inexpensive misting fans are powered by the pressure from a supply water line or internal compartment where the water naturally flows out, while other more expensive fans have high pressure pumps that assist in spraying the water into an ultra-fine mist. With the more expensive misting fans, flash evaporation occurs which basically cools with less moisture in the air as the mist is dissipated. How cool can I be? The coolness you feel with a standard fan is caused by a principle called evaporative cooling. Misting systems have proven to be much more
