When used in a closed environment such as a greenhouse, a misting fan initially cools the general area, then provides a high degree of humidity for thirstier plant species. Some specialty produce stores may also use a misting fan to keep their offerings fresh for customers. The air-conditioning effects can also make for a more pleasant shopping environment for outdoor produce stands. A typical misting fan works on the principles of thermal dynamics and evaporative cooling. If you place a wet towel in front of an electric fan, you may notice the area aro
