Barn misting system High-pressure misting

high-pressure

High-pressure misting is an evaporative cooling system for dairy barns that disperses ultra-fine, fast-evaporating micro-droplets to lower ambient temperature while maintaining controlled humidity to protect bedding and hygiene.

Principle / How it works

• Water is pressurized by a high-performance pump unit and delivered through anti-drip nozzles that prevent heavy or dripping droplets.
• The resulting micro-droplets are extremely fine and evaporate almost instantly on contact with warm air, absorbing thermal energy and producing rapid local cooling.
• Cooling is achieved while keeping humidity at an optimal level to avoid damaging bedding or compromising barn hygiene.

Control and automation (HSDC)

• Controlled by the Heat Stress Dynamic Control (HSDC) unit which integrates temperature and humidity sensors to calculate THI.
• An adaptive algorithm modulates misting frequency (seconds of misting per minute) based on THI to ensure efficient cooling without excess humidity.
• Typical sizing note: 1 HSDC / mister box corresponds to control of approximately 16 Cyclone units.

Compatibility and ventilation

• Designed for dairy farming: easy to clean and resistant to water and dust.
• Recommended combination with Cyclone 360 fans to accelerate evaporation and distribute airflow evenly across the barn.

Benefits for farmer and herd

• Reduces THI-driven heat stress, helping to maintain feed intake, rumination and milk production during heat events.
• Automated, energy-efficient regulation avoids unnecessary humidity and helps preserve bedding hygiene.

Technical specifications

• Cooling principle: high-pressure misting (evaporative cooling via micro-droplets).
• Temperature reduction: up to 5 °C depending on THI and conditions.
• Nozzles: anti-drip nozzles producing ultra-fine micro-droplets.
• Control: Heat Stress Dynamic Control (HSDC) with integrated temperature and humidity sensors (THI-based control).
• Modulation: diffusion time adjustable in stages (seconds of misting per minute) according to THI.
• Durability: designed for easy cleaning; water- and dust-resistant for livestock buildings.
• Compatibility: can be coupled with Cyclone 360 fans to increase evaporation and cooling efficiency.
