High-pressure misting fan

A fan comprising:

• a rotatable propeller for generating an airstream when rotated;
• a nozzle assembly fluidly connectable to a fluid source and operable to inject fluid into the airstream;
• a pump fluidly disposed upstream from the nozzle assembly and operable to pressurize fluid flowing from the fluid source to the nozzle assembly;
• and
• a single motor drivingly connected to the propeller and pump so that the single motor rotates the propeller and operates the pump,
• said nozzle assembly including a ring downstream from the propeller,
• said ring including at least one nozzle,
• said nozzle being adjustable so as to vary the quantity of fluid injected into the airstream.
