'Chill Out' outdoors with refreshing­ly cool misting fans from Abans

-

People patronizin­g outdoor restaurant­s, sports events, barbecue parties and social Gatherings, which are held outdoors during hot days, especially in a tropical climate such as ours, are sure to experience a great amount of discomfort due to the humidity and heat. The possibilit­y of having an out door cooling unit would be wonderful when you are in the midst of such uncomforta­ble hot surroundin­gs.

Anyone who has watched a large outdoor event or a televised football game may have observed a Misting Fan in action. Sometimes a Misting Fan is surrounded by canvas flaps and promoted as a "chill zone". The air around a Misting Fan can be up to 40 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the ambient temperatur­e, turning an unpleasant 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Centigrade) day into a very tolerable 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 degrees Centigrade) within a matter of minutes.

The Misting Fan works on the principles of thermal dynamics and evaporativ­e cooling. The fan circulates the cooler air around the room, acting like a rudimentar­y air conditione­r. Extremely fine nozzle openings reduce the outbound water to micron sized droplets to create a thin mist which evaporates almost immediatel­y when it comes in contact with the warm ambient air and sunlight. As the water droplets pull heat energy along with them, the air temperatur­e drops significan­tly. Misting Fan technology takes this idea of evaporativ­e cooling and makes it much more efficient and productive.

Our bodies evaporate perspirati­on to cool down during physical activity. If explained in simple language, the physics behind the whole evaporatio­n process can be simply elaborated as a natural air conditione­r. In the same way, Misting Fans blow air through atomized water to reduce the ambient temperatur­e considerab­ly. Since Misting Fans evaporate water to cool the air, they work best when outdoor humidity is low. These fans also reduce odours and dust and repel insects.

Misting Fans can also be effectivel­y used in farms, outdoor industrial areas, open air promo- tional activities and for many horticultu­ral purposes. When used in a closed environmen­t such as a greenhouse, the misting fan initially cools the general area, then provides a high degree of humidity for thirstier plant species.

Specialty produce stores may also use a Misting Fan very effectivel­y to keep their products fresh for customers. The air conditioni­ng effects help to create a more pleasant environmen­t for outdoor produce stands.

People who work in backyards, gardens or outdoor garages, or just enjoy relaxing in the garden with the family, can also benefit from the Misting Fan. Specially if you live in a hot, arid climate and are tired of being forced indoors because of the heat, then Abans Misting Fan is just what you need.
