SUMMARY

Kashif Usman seeks guidance on constructing a mist fan that produces a low-level mist at a height of 4 to 5 feet, specifically for cooling purposes in Karachi's high temperatures. The discussion emphasizes the importance of pump specifications, including pressure requirements and flow rates, to achieve the desired mist quality. For effective evaporative cooling, a finer mist necessitates higher pressure, which is crucial for optimal performance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of pump specifications and pressure requirements
  • Knowledge of misting nozzle types and their applications
  • Familiarity with flow rate calculations for misting systems
  • Basic principles of evaporative cooling techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research suitable high-pressure pumps for misting applications
  • Explore different types of misting nozzles and their specifications
  • Learn about flow rate calculations for misting systems
  • Investigate evaporative cooling principles and their effectiveness in high temperatures
USEFUL FOR

Individuals interested in DIY misting systems, bird enthusiasts in hot climates, and anyone looking to implement evaporative cooling solutions effectively.

Dear All,

Would you please guide me regarding I want to make a mist fan. A low level mist is required almost 4 to 5 feet. I need all information regarding tube dia, nozzal specification specially pump specification.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Kashif Usman

Welcome to PF!

How misty? The finer the mist, the higher the required pressure. If you're looking to "mist" flowers, it won't need to be too high, but if you are looking to do evaporative cooling for people, you'll want a much finer mist and higher pressure. And how much water (flow rate)?

Thanks for reply. its all about cooling but not for people... I am bird lover and in Karachi, Pakistan temperature is almost 42 C. Water is stored in tanks.
