Stay Cool in Summer: Selecting the Right Mist Nozzle for Your Outdoor Cooling System
South Africa’s intense summer heat can be a challenge and while swimming pools and air conditioners offer relief, they are not always practical or affordable. A mist cooling system provides an attractive and efficient alternative as they are designed to reduce outdoor temperatures, providing a comfortable environment. Selecting the right type of mist nozzle for your system makes it a worthwhile investment and the best way to beat the heat in summer.
Why a CERJET Mist Nozzle is the Best Choice
The longevity of your cooling system boils down to choosing a mist nozzle that can handle constant water abrasion and withstand wear and tear. At Bestline Manufacturing we have found that the CERJET range offers superior durability and longevity over stainless steel and brass nozzles as the ceramic orifice of these spray nozzles has outstanding wear resistance.
Optimising Your System for Maximum Efficiency
Careful planning is essential to maximise the efficiency and cooling benefits of a misting system. By understanding the scientific principles behind mist cooling, you can make informed decisions to ensure optimal performance. The process of evaporation involves a phase change from liquid to gas. This phase transition requires energy, which is absorbed by the surrounding environment. This results in a decrease in the temperature of the ambient environment.
High-pressure atomising nozzles, strategically placed along the desired area, disperse water in microscopic droplets. These droplets rapidly evaporate, effectively cooling the surrounding air by up to 30 degrees. The effect is similar to a fine mist on a foggy day but without the associated wet conditions.
Mist Your Way to Comfort
Whether your misting system is installed over your patio area, under a gazebo, or even a large umbrella, together with the advantage of staying cool, your outdoor entertainment areas can further benefit from:
- Keep insects at bay – the fine mist generated can disrupt the flight patterns of various insects, including mosquitoes. This can significantly reduce the nuisance of insects, enhancing your outdoor enjoyment.
- Better air quality – by increasing humidity levels, your system makes it more difficult for airborne allergens, such as dust and pollen, to circulate freely contributing to improved air quality.
- Improved olfactory experience – the humified air from misting systems can effectively prevent the spread of unpleasant odours in your patio area enhancing air quality.
Keeping Customers Cool
Mist cooling systems are not exclusively for residential areas. They offer several benefits for commercial applications including greenhouses that rely on climate regulation for plant growth, open-air shopping centres, and outside seating areas in restaurants to keep customers comfortable in the heat. Outdoor concerts and sporting venues benefit from the cooling effect as it prevents heat-related injuries and tiredness.
The Pumps Working Behind the Scenes
To match the durability, quality, and longevity of your CERJET mist nozzle you need to select a high-pressure mid-sized pump that maintains consistent nozzle pressure without fluctuations in the flow rate. As the sole distributor of Cat Pumps in Southern Africa, we are confident in the exceptional quality and reliability of each of their high-pressure pumps. Engineered with longevity in mind and manufactured with premium materials, these pumps, coupled with our service and repair capabilities, are designed to outperform the competition.
