People are only now understanding the ease of use of misting systems for cooling purposes but the fact is that these systems have been in commercial use for a number of years now. Although cooling is an effective use for a mister it is certainly not the only use and possibly not even the most effective use.
A misting system is the creation of a fine water mist that is produced from misting system nozzles under high pressure. The water droplets that are generated are incredibly small, so small that they evaporate very soon after leaving the water nozzle. The evaporation that takes place causes the cooling effect.
By spraying fine water droplets into the air another process is taking place. The humidity level of the immediate area is increased and this has proven to be very beneficial in agricultural and food storage industries as well. A greenhouse depends on the fact that the climate and air conditions are controlled and this includes the humidity.
As the outside temperature rises the air inside the greenhouse will also rise and this may mean that the moisture is extracted from the plants more quickly than desired. A greenhouse misting system ensures that the humidity level will not drop below a certain point ensuring that the growing plants are protected.
Fruits and vegetables are made up of a good percentage of water and if they are stored in dry conditions that moisture will be quickly drawn out. By installing a misting system into the storage room, the humidity level can be controlled to the point where dehydration is virtually stopped and the food can be stored for a much longer time.
All of these benefits can be achieved with a misting system and can be done so at very low cost on an ongoing basis. The system depends on water as well as the water pressure. Costs are limited to the price of the water supply as well as the running costs of a pump if a high pressure system is required.
Misting systems are definitely more than a nifty way to stay cool outdoors during summer and alternatively keep your plants hydrated and healthy.
