How to Create a DIY Misting Fan

hydrate.yourselfNo matter where you are in the Southwest, chances are you still need some cooling relief. We just had Labor Day weekend, and the desert valleys of California and Arizona still met or exceeded the 100 degree Fahrenheit mark. These record breaking temperatures require high pressure misting systems to provide cooling relief and protect individuals from heat related illnesses.

Heat stress is still a major issue in the U.S., and regardless of how many times a post has been shared on social media, children, pets and adults still die from heat stress. Awareness is great, but some people still put lives at risk by leaving a child or pet unattended in a vehicle or even forcing workers to meet a certain threshold of productivity for outdoor related jobs in the blazing heat.

Those at most risk for heat exhaustion symptoms include:

Control Dust and Odor

process dust suppression vegetable packingDust Suppression

With dust, especially silica dust gaining more focus from regulatory bodies, pressure is on process operators to keep dust down. Clearly the best solution is to avoid creating it or try to trap it at source.

Nevertheless, some processes do generate dust that cannot be trapped. It becomes airborne and must be suppressed.

Helping Your Business Conserve Water with Misting Systems

Even as states like California implement strict water consumption restrictions due to drought, misting systems get a pass. Currently, there are no restrictions in place against residential or commercial misting systems, and for good reason. Not only do these cooling systems provide relief to stadium attendees, livestock businesses, outdoor shopping venues, and even patio diners at your local restaurant or bar, but they do so while conserving water.

DSC_5235 resizedWhile it seems counterintuitive that a system designed to spray water is a water-efficient source of cooling, misting systems or fans differ from gardening hoses due to the amount of pressure required to function.  The high water pressure moves droplets of water through the nozzles, rather than allowing a stream of water to escape. The typical misting line kit uses much less water to cool an entire outdoor event than the typical homeowner uses to water their lawn.

Some of the cooling solutions from Advanced Misting Systems even recycle water, allowing business and homeowners to keep their guests cool while conserving water. It is estimated that a cloud of mist or a portable evaporative cooler can actually reduce the temperature by 10 to 30 degrees, depending on the cooling system type and size, and is a great defense against heat stress.

This summer, warmth and dryness will build in the West, worsening the historical drought conditions that have plagued California for four straight years. Meanwhile, the Gulf Coast will have an abundance of moisture, raising concerns for flooding at times.

In the nation’s midsection, severe weather is forecast to continue into summer, with the overall tornado count increasing from last year. In the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, above-normal temperatures will mark a noticeable difference from the cooler-than-average summer of 2014.
