Fan propelled mister

Abstract

The fan propelled misting apparatus for cooling an extended area by evaporative cooling includes a blower with a hollow, cylindrical mist discharge tube, and a fan for propelling air flow through the mist discharge tube; and a misting device connected to the blower for delivering a fine spray of water to the cylindrical mist discharge tube. The misting device includes a pressurizable fluid tank, such as a piston type pump, with a water supply tube connected between the pressurizable fluid tank and the mist discharge tube for delivering the fine spray of water to the cylindrical mist discharge tube. The water supply tube has a nozzle at a distal end of the water supply tube disposed in the mist discharge tube so as to deliver the fine spray of water in the air flow provided by the blower. A valve is provided for controlling flow of water through the water supply tube. The fan propelled misting apparatus may alternatively include a waist pack adapted to be secured to a user's waist, with a fan disposed in the waist pack, and a misting device in the waist pack for delivering a fine spray of water near the fan. The fan is battery powered, and the fan housing is bell shaped to provide higher air flows.
