Hot summer days where you can’t venture outdoors due to the blinding heat can be combated more effectively nowadays with a variety of simple appliances or installations. One of those which is only just beginning to be used at a domestic level is a high pressure misting system. These patio misters can be installed anywhere that needs to be cooled and are effective at lowering the temperature in the immediate vicinity.
Patio misters and their close cousins portable misting fans work by way of misting nozzles that allow a fine spray of water to be pushed out under extremely high pressure. The spray is so fine that the water droplets evaporate immediately leaving a cloudy mist behind. This mist of cool air affects the ambient temperature in the immediate vicinity giving you your cooling effect.
These misting systems have been used for many years in commercial settings such as greenhouses and in industrial factories where machinery temperatures must be controlled. They have more recently been adapted by the restaurant industry as a means of controlling the temperature for outdoor diners to sit comfortably when it is hot. The systems have been particularly effective and this has resulted in an increased demand for a similar system for use at home.
The installation of an outdoor misting system is as simple as connecting the pipes up to a water source and then positioning the misting nozzles at a location where the prevailing breeze will carry the clouds over the area that you want cooled. The mist does not leave you feeling damp because the droplets are blasted to such a fine degree.
As an added bonus, the use of a patio misting system will settle any dust that may be present around the area. This acts as a dual method for maintain comfort levels during the hot and ry months of summer.
