What is a Stand Fan With Water Spray?
A stand fan with water spray is a fan that blows a mist of cool air. These fans are powered by electricity or batteries and connect to a water supply through a garden hose or internal tank.
While experiments and incidents show that water fog may dilute or ventilate flammable gases and vapors, this ALERT warns fire departments and HAZMAT teams that it also can pose additional hazards.
Cooling Effect
The cooling effect of a stand fan with water spray is achieved by the evaporation of water droplets and airflow from the fan. This is similar to the cooling effect of wind blowing on your skin, but the mist also cools nearby objects and surfaces. The swivel function of some models lets you direct the cooling mist in different directions, making them ideal for a patio or garden.
Misting fans come in all shapes stand fan with water spray and sizes, with some requiring a hose for water and others simply connecting to a power outlet and using batteries. Some are portable and take up very little floor space, while others can be fixed to the wall or ceiling.
Those that require a hose may have drain valves to help prevent clogging by minerals or other debris. Some have a “dry” mode that allows you to use the fan without the added cooling function, which can save energy and water.
Some water misting fans use state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to vaporize the water and produce tiny water drops. The mist is so fine that it’s not noticeable and creates a gentle natrual wind sense. These features make them ideal for outdoor events like backyard barbecues, picnics and parties. They can also be used as a regular fan when not in the misting mode.
Safety
A patented natural wind sense system makes this stand fan more durable, quiet and intelligent. The smart feature can automatically monitor power usage and prevent the fan from overheating, enabling it to operate for up to 10 hours on a full charge. This innovative safety feature also protects children – the fan will stop when the protective guard is touched. The 16” tall stand fan has a sleek, compact design, featuring 4 wind modes (normal, natural, sleep and smart). It is easy to assemble, operate and maintain and is made from coated ABS plastic that is water-proof and fade-resistant.
Always check that the power cable is properly secured and disconnected before cleaning, moving or transporting the fan. Failure to do so might lead to injury, fire or product malfunction.
Controls
Generally these models require a power source, which could be electricity or batteries, and a water supply to produce the mist. The water can come from a garden hose or an internal tank. Some have drain valves that allow any water to be drained out of the lines and nozzles when the fan is switched off, which reduces mineral build up and saves energy.
The internal water tanks typically hold 2 liters of water and can spray for 5 to 8 hours depending on the setting. stand fan with water spray They’re also designed with an indicator light to indicate the water level. Some also have a natural wind mode and sleep mode, with the option to set a timer of up to 9 hours.
Portable or compact fans are small enough to be taken outdoors to mist plants or cool off a dining area on a patio, but they’re also suitable for indoor use. They’re typically battery powered and plug into a power outlet, with some having rechargeable batteries for portability. They’re often adjustable and can be tilted to direct the mist where required. They’re usually lightweight for easy handling, weighing between 13 and 16 pounds. Some are UL 507 rated for outdoor use, while others have a rain-resistant and fade-resistant plastic construction.
Maintenance
This standing fan features an epoxy resin coated, anti-rust and durable body. It is also easy to move with the tank cart on smooth gliding wheels and castors.
To keep this fan running its best, it is recommended to clean the grills and blades on a regular basis. Also lubricating the motor bearings on a scheduled basis (based on your IOM and your assessment) is important, as it is for any equipment. It is also important to store the fan in a clean dry environment. Taking preventative maintenance steps is much less trouble than repairing and replacing parts when they fail.
