Mist Cooling Applications
Misting systems are a cost effective solution for wide array of applications. Click on the links below to find out more.
Residential Cooling with Misting
Many people are unable to enjoy their patio or yard areas during the heat of the summer. Pets and plants suffer due to intense heat. Customers say their lifestyles have been changed completely by outdoor cooling (misting system). They are no longer “trapped” inside their homes. Pets and plants are healthier. Now you can enjoy the outdoors year round.
Our Misting Systems are a simple, inexpensive and appealing way to lower temperature by 10-12 °C outdoors and indoors without wetting.
COOLING PRINCIPLE
Evaporative cooling is responsible for the chill you feel when a breeze strikes your skin. The air evaporates the water on your skin, with your body heat providing the energy.
By forcing water, by means of a high pressure pump, through our specially designed misting nozzles, we create a fog made by ultra fine water droplets with an average size of less than 10 microns. These tiny water droplets quickly absorb the energy (heat) present in the environment and evaporate, becoming water vapor (gas). The energy (heat) used to change the water to gas is eliminated from the environment, hence the air is cooled.
BENEFITS
- Lowers temperature
- Reduces flying insects
- Fully expandable
- Absorbs dust and pollen
- Special effects
Commercial Cooling with Misting
When temperatures rise into the 30°C and above, patio dining from indoors to outdoors, outside bar areas and gazebos become uninhabitable money losers. Our misting system with a misting line or fans or in combination of both can turn that space into a comfortable and profitable retreat.

Industrial Cooling with Misting
Misting systems are installed with enormous advantages for air-conditioning of large indoor areas due to high benefits and reduced energy consumption.
Create a safer and more productive working environment. Cooling employees, equipment and processes can lead to happier employees and big profits. Cooler workers are safer and more productive. Cooler machines last longer and can produce more. Many processes that need cooling can be speeded up using mist cooling.
Air conditioning of large industrial warehouses, including those which need to operate with open doors and windows, was until now impossible with conventional systems. Today, however, misting systems becomes ideal for cooling large areas (industrial sheds, garages, workshops) or to dissipate high heat emissions from industrial processes (foundries, machinery). Cooling effect can also be combined with humidity control to increase productivity in specific industries (paper, wood, textiles).
Water is sprayed under pressure by special patented nozzles capable of generating very fine droplets, of less than 10 microns, which are immediately absorbed by the air without wetting surfaces and objects below. The results are significant: low cost of installation and operation, immediately effective, cooling effect is located only in areas of interest, possibility of installation in an enclosed, semi-open and open environment.
MINUMUM COSTS
Important aspect of misting systems are highly limited costs if compared to traditional industrial air conditioning. Installation is easy and fast since systems are supplied in modular kit, with polyamide tubing and quick couplings. Or misting systems are designed to operate at low running cost and requires minimum maintenance requirements.
BENEFITS
- Increase overall productivity of your staff
- Air conditioning in localized areas of interest
- Control of dust, gases, fumes and other harmful emissions
- Immediate temperature reduction
- Installation costs reduced by 75%
- Considerable energy savings
- Easy and inexpensive maintenance
- Reduced heat stress
Livestock Cooling with Misting
Birds and animals, like humans, are happier and more productive when comfortable. Misting reduces heat stress and increase productivity.
Misting provides heat stress relief for all categories of poultry. Mortality is dramatically reduced. Stress-free broilers continue to eat and grow. Layers produce more eggs. Breeders are more active and produce higher quality eggs. In the hog world, misting increases the farrowing sow’s appetite, which improves milk production. This, in turn, boosts the litter weight at weaning, increases the size of future litters and allows the sow to go back into heat quicker. Cool conditions increase sex drive and sperm count, as well as sexual development.
Cattle are also subject to heat stress. This condition can affect milk production, weight gain and breeding cycles. The misted cow is the contented cow is the productive cow. Mother Nature has an unpleasant way of telling humans and horses to slow down when working in extreme heat, and if those warnings go ignored for too long, disaster can result. But races and heats and rounds and shows are held in all kinds of weather, and if we want our horses to do their best while competing in the heat, then we have to do our best to condition and acclimate them to withstand high temperatures.

Greenhouse Cooling & Humidification with Misting
Misting systems are used with enormous advantages to keep the right climate inside greenhouses of any dimension.
Misting systems (or Fog systems) play an important role in the greenhouse climatic control. Misting systems are also used with enormous advantages to keep the right temperature and humidity in the environment, under conditions of forced or natural ventilation. In summertime the quick evaporation of the fog will cool the greenhouse due to the principle of evaporative cooling, meanwhile it humidifies the environment in case of low relative humidity. During the wintertime the system keeps the correct humidity rate preventing the dehydration of the crops caused by heating systems. The environment produced by our system is appropriate for the most delicate crops (ex. the growing of young seedings, the cultivation of tropical plants and in bloom plants) where it is not possible to use traditional spraying methods like standard spraying.
Fog system works on a pressure of 1000 PSI (70 Bar) and it is designed to produce water droplets smaller than 5-10 microns diameter that, for theirs dwarfish size remains suspended in the air for a long time producing the fog effect.
Typically all growers have the problem of low humidity and high temperatures. Serious problems occur when the humidity in the greenhouse environment drops below 30% RH. Plants will suffer and typically slow or halt the growing process. In fact, many greenhouses in arid conditions close down for the summer months until ambient temperatures will reduce to an acceptable level.
LOW COST SYSTEMS
Very low cost of our systems are an important aspect of misting in greenhouse, if compared to other solutions for the climate control. The energy costs are low, simple and fast installations, considering that the systems are supplied in various solutions or D-I-Y Kits, or by the simple solutions of quick couplings. Our systems are designed to operate with very low costs and with a minimum maintenance.
BENEFITS
AC Pre-Cooling with Misting
Air conditioning systems perform at their worst in hot summer days, just when they are needed the most. The cooling capacity decreases by 14-15% and the power draw increases by 31%. The problem occurs in condensers which has to change vapors refrigerant into liquid forcing the air through the unit and absorbing heat from the refrigerant causing it to condense.
Applying water fogging system to air-cooled chillers can improve the efficiency under most of the working conditions, as the water mist could lower the air temperature entering the condenser.
system efficiency: +30% increased cooling capacity
On typical air-cooled chillers, a reduction in condenser air temperature of 6 °C will result 14% improvement in efficiency and 12°C about 25-30%.BENEFITS
- Air temperature outside the unit lowered by up to 12 °C
- Energy consumption decreased, as much as 30%
- Increase the efficiency of HVAC units up to 30%
- Live of the whole system extended
- Low start up and operating costs
- Quick installation
