In June 2016, scorching temperatures resulted in at least four casualties in Arizona and fueled five major wildfires. As higher temperatures become more common in Arizona, widespread excessive heat warnings are issued. With experts warning of hotter summers due to changing weather patterns, the demand for outdoor cooling systems is skyrocketing.
As a highly effective solution for maintaining low temperatures outside homes, there are several reasons to invest in an outdoor misting system this summer. Our team at Aqua Science lists these reasons below.
How Does an Outdoor Misting System Work?
Specialized nozzles are used to create a fine mist by forcing water through high-pressure pumps. This mist quickly evaporates when exposed to air, absorbing heat from the surroundings in the process. As a result, this evaporation leads to a significant reduction in the ambient air temperature.
Reasons to Invest in Outdoor Misting Systems
Flash Cooling
Investing in an outdoor misting system can enhance comfort in hot environments, thanks to the process known as flash evaporation. When an outdoor misting system is turned on, fine droplets emitted from ceramic nozzles are absorbed by the heat, causing hot air to rise and cool air to form. As these droplets evaporate, they create a refreshing blast of chilled air, effectively lowering the surrounding temperature. This process of flash evaporation provides immediate relief from the heat, making outdoor spaces more enjoyable and inviting.
Reduced Residual Moisture
A commercial grade outdoor misting system offers the advantage of limited residual moisture, making it a smart choice for keeping outdoor spaces comfortable. Unlike low-pressure misting systems that produce high levels of moisture on everything they touch, high-pressure units produce a fine mist that evaporates quickly only leaving traces of moisture during days with high humidity. In the right weather conditions, the fine mist produced by high-pressure misting systems can cool an area up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Energy Conservation
Outdoor misting systems offer a more energy-efficient alternative to conventional air conditioners as they use a lot less electricity for outdoor cooling needs. This makes them a cost-effective choice for those seeking to minimize energy usage and lower electricity bills. Outdoor misting systems also rely primarily on water as their cooling agent which reduces their negative impact on the environment.
Adaptable Applications
These cooling systems are highly useful for various settings. They can be installed in a multitude of locations, including patios, around pools, outdoor kitchens, inside barns, and much more. By providing effective cooling in various environments, outdoor misting systems enable the use of outdoor spaces, making sure that individuals remain comfortable in high temperatures during the summer.
The Importance of a Water Treatment System for Your Outdoor Misting System
Making sure that your outdoor misting system operates at its best requires more than just the right equipment—for limiting maintenance and increasing longevity, we recommend treated water. That’s where a home water treatment system steps in.
Clean and properly treated water increases efficiency and prevents clogs and corrosion. With a reliable water softener in place, you can rest assured that your outdoor misting system will consistently provide cool mist during hot days.
