The outdoor misting fan: a breath of fresh air on your terrace!

Heatwaves have been a regular occurrence in recent years. The sweltering heat, ideal for insects of all kinds, is thwarting our moments of relaxation by the pool or on the terrace. Regenerating siestas are no longer but sweet memories.

Some of our fellow citizens opt for air conditioning. Yet its costly installation and no less costly running costs continue to put off most aspiring cool-heads. All the more so as air-conditioning generates a dry coolness and causes unpleasant thermal shocks when moving from indoors to outdoors.

In some cases, the garden is equipped with traditional fans that create an appreciable draught but are incapable of absorbing calories. As a result, the air temperature drops slightly, but the sensation of suffocation is only partially limited.

The misting fan system combines the benefits of a conventional fan with those of a misting system. The diffusion of droplets in the ambient air provides an unrivalled, long-lasting sensation of freshness. By combining air circulation and humidification, the misting fan significantly reduces the temperature you feel, making those long summer afternoons in the sun that much sweeter…

The different misting system fan models

 

The misting fan comes in a variety of models, each with its own special features. The height of its base is the characteristic element used to categorize them. Introducing O’Fresh misting fans.

Misting fan 150 cm

 

This model is the most compact on the market. Its size makes it easy to move around, and its 5-hour autonomy, thanks to a 10-liter reservoir, means you can enjoy lazy afternoons without getting up from your deckchair. What’s more, it can cool a 50 m2 garden or terrace by more than 10 degrees.

In addition, it has three speeds to modulate its action and oscillates on its foot to act on a wider area.

 

Misting system fan 170 cm

 

This high-performance model is designed to cool a 60 m2 area by more than 10 degrees. Again, it has three speeds, oscillates on its stand and has the advantage of being activated by remote control to adjust immediately to atmospheric conditions. This is also why the misting and ventilation functions can be used independently.

What’s more, its 14-liter reservoir gives you an extra hour of autonomy for 6 hours of intense cooling. The pump shuts off automatically when the tank is empty to extend its service life, and you can program it with a shut-off timer.

 

Misting system 180 cm

 

This model has many useful qualities, not only for private users, but also for professionals. It can cool an area of up to 80 m2! Despite this enormous range, its autonomy is the most optimized on the market. A 24 L tank allows continuous use for up to 10h without refilling.

You can, of course, adjust the speed and height of the foot, as well as the misting flow rate, for precise misting action. Its ergonomics have been designed to make it easy to move, thanks to its castors and integrated handles. An efficient, functional and safe tool – in short, professional equipment!

 

Misting system fan 200 cm

 

This high-performance model has the same features as its 180 cm cousin. Intelligent pump, remote control, stop timer, and 9-hour autonomy thanks to a 23 L reservoir… Its sleek, curvaceous design is also a real eye-catcher, and will enhance any living space.

 

Wall-mounted fan

 

The wall-mounted fan is the best option for professionals. With 80 m2 of power, it’s worthy of the most powerful floor-mounted fans, but it also has infinite autonomy thanks to its connection to the mains. A 4 L buffer tank is also included.

It also has the advantage of being compact and not monopolizing floor space, an important asset for professional terraces in the city, for example.

How it works

 

The misting system works on a simple principle. The micro-droplets released into the air capture the heat and then evaporate. In so doing, they immediately lower the temperature you feel. It’s the same feeling you get when you’re near a waterfall. Even in the middle of a dense rainforest, it’s always cool.

Misting fans add to this the ability to circulate ambient air. This circulation causes particles to circulate, cooling the body by convection. Ventilation also has the added advantage of regulating condensation, ensuring optimum humidity levels. The combination of these two actions – ventilation and misting – significantly reduces heat-related indisposition without wetting bodies and objects within its range of action.

How to choose your misting fan system

 

First of all, it’s important to determine your needs. Depending on the surface area to be cooled, the availability of water sources and the desired maneuverability of your misting fan, you have a number of different options.

If you’re planning to use your misting system fan in the garden, but also by the pool or when you’re having lunch with friends, maneuverability will be the criterion to watch out for. Choose models that are compact and easy to move.

Conversely, constant use in the same space – a restaurant terrace, for example – doesn’t require you to move. The wall-mounted fan will meet your needs thanks to its long range and infinite autonomy. Remember to check the availability of water points before installing this type of misting fan.

Finally, determine the size of the surface to be cooled. The range of your device will then be the criterion to watch out for when purchasing.

 

Why use a misting fan system?

 

Are you suffering from dry heat? Are high temperatures weighing down your day? These are the obvious reasons to get a misting fan. But there are others…

Whether you prefer a siesta or more active pursuits, misting systems ensure that you can enjoy your time to the full, without having to suffer the onslaught of the sun. Children in particular can enjoy themselves on the terrace without fear of dehydration.

What’s more, professionals with misting systems are seeing a significant increase in the number of visitors to their terraces. What could be more pleasant than a bit of freshness during an aperitif with friends?
Finally, experts recommend a humidity level of 30% in living spaces. The misting fan system helps maintain a healthy humidity level for maximum enjoyment!
