In most areas of the country outdoor areas are now a common feature in restaurants, bars, bar and grill combinations and even for cafés. In the past, this type of outdoor seating was often only found in family-friendly restaurants and more casual dining establishments, but this is changing dramatically as more people opt to eat al fresco.
The big drawback to having a beautiful patio area for many businesses is the low return on investment. After all, in the heat of the afternoon it is not going to be a popular spot, nor will it be if there is considerable wind and the traditional types of table umbrellas are a liability risk.
The Solution
The solution to this very real issue is to install cool mist fans. These overhead types of devices provide an extremely fine fog of water droplets combined with moving air to both flash cool and then distribute the cool air over the area for guest comfort.
It is essential when choosing a system to look for quality and performance and not just price. The best cool mist fans will have specialized nozzles and use pumps on the system to maintain perfect pressure for uniform, fine drops of water that are just microns in size.
The Importance of Performance
With very fine mist rather than larger droplets, complete evaporation occurs, leading to higher cooling efficiencies. However, in addition to being more effective and efficient, this also means that guests never feel humid or clammy, a common occurrence when larger water droplets are produced that don’t completely evaporate and that create a noticeable damp feeling around the fan.
With top systems of cool mist fans, the options in designs and colors will blend in perfectly with the business décor and color scheme. These cooling systems are low-cost to operate, require minimal maintenance and allow for expanded outdoor service times with full guest comfort.
