March 2014: With summer months approaching, restaurants and bars will need to address oppressive heat indexes on their outdoor venues. One way is to install an outdoor mist cooling system as an effective and economical alternative to keeping diners and patron cool, comfortable and revenue generating Mist cooling systems come in a variety of designs and applications, the two most popular are mist lines and mist fans. A mist line allows you to create an air curtain of cooling mist that can lower temperatures by up to 10 degrees ambient. These systems are most effective in dry arid climates that can absorb the mist into the atmosphere without getting anyone wet. They tend not to be as effective in humid climates. The most effective system is a combination of mist and an outdoor rated fan system, this allows you to direct the mist more effectively and when properly installed can lower temperatures by up to 20 degrees ambient. The advantage of using a mist fan cooling system is that it gives you more flexibility in keeping your outdoor venue cool in humid climates and will help eliminate odors and flying insects. In choosing a mist cooling system call an expert before purchasing a system, buying the wrong mist application can lead to creating a rainforest effect that will wet your patrons and create a dangerous situation at your venue. An average cost for a commercial grade mist cooling system will range between $2000.00 and $5000.00 and will pay for itself in increased revenue on outdoor venues during the summer months For more information about hospitality mist cooling check with The Misting Store for a free consultation.
