Misting and water
spraying systems.
High-pressure misting cools outdoor spaces, agricultural facilities, parks and industrial halls. Adiabatic cooling lowers felt temperature by 8–12 °C — no air-conditioners, no noise, no wet surfaces. Hand-built in Slovenia since 2005.
High-pressure misting systems Slovenia — cooling for terraces, barns, parks and industry
Naravno hlajenje.
Adiabatno hlajenje je fizikalni proces, pri katerem drobne vodne kapljice izhlapevajo in pri tem absorbirajo toploto iz okoliškega zraka. Postopek ne uporablja hladilnih plinov, ne ustvarja agresivnih zračnih tokov in ne zahteva izoliranih zaprtih prostorov — zato je idealen za zunanjo uporabo, prezračevana poslopja in velike industrijske volumne.
Felt temperature −8 to −12 °C
In high-pressure misting, 15-micron droplets evaporate before reaching surfaces. Heat is drawn from the air, not from people or equipment.
Energy efficient
The pump draws 0.4–1.5 kW — a tenth of a conventional A/C unit. No refrigerants, no compressor.
Hygienic water
50 μm pre-filter, 1 μm fine filter and UV sterilisation before misting. The system meets standards for spaces with people and animals.
Quiet and invisible
Nozzles are embedded in 11 mm tubing. Operating noise < 35 dB. The space cools without revealing what is cooling it.
Binds dust and odours
Microscopic droplets bind particulate matter and odour molecules in the air, improving air quality in industrial and agricultural environments.
Versatile use
One technological principle, four application areas — from a hospitality terrace in Ljubljana to a piggery barn on the coast.

Cooling summer terraces and gardens
Frequently asked questions about cooling outdoor hospitality terraces and gardens with misting systems
Why is a misting system a good fit for a hospitality terrace?
A misting system is an excellent solution for summer gardens, terraces, bars, restaurants, hotels, clubs, wellness areas and private outdoor spaces, because it lets guests sit outside comfortably even on hot days. Instead of the terrace becoming too hot and empty, the system creates a sense of freshness, lowers air temperature and improves comfort. For the operator that means a better guest experience, longer dwell times and higher use of outdoor space through the summer season.
How can a cooled terrace impact a venue's revenue?
On hot days, guests choose the venue where they feel most comfortable. A pleasantly cooled, fresh, visually inviting terrace makes guests more likely to sit there — meaning more occupied tables, longer stays, more orders and a real competitive edge over neighbouring venues. Cooling the terrace is not just a technical decision; it can directly influence sales.
Can the system help attract guests from neighbouring venues?
Yes. In summer heat, guests quickly notice the difference between an ordinary terrace and one with that fresh feeling. The fine mist also has a visual effect, so passers-by quickly spot that a venue offers a more pleasant environment. When a guest sees others comfortably seated outside even at high temperatures, they're much more likely to choose that venue.
Is the misting system an interesting novelty for guests?
Yes. Guests remember the experience, not just the menu. Fine mist on the terrace creates a sense of freshness, refinement and additional attention to comfort. For bars, restaurants, hotels and clubs this can be a pleasant differentiator. The system is unobtrusive, but noticeable — especially on hot, humid days.
How does the system lower the temperature on the terrace?
The system atomises water into very fine droplets. Those droplets evaporate quickly, drawing heat from the surrounding air. This is the principle of adiabatic cooling. Guests feel fresher, cooler air without the space being closed off or air-conditioned. The effect is strongest on hot, dry days when the mist evaporates fastest.
Why do you use systems running at ~100 bar?
High pressure is key to the quality of the mist. A system at ~100 bar atomises water into very small droplets that evaporate quickly. The smaller the droplets, the less risk of wetting tables, chairs, guests or the floor. That's exactly why a high-pressure system is suitable for hospitality, where the effect must be pleasant, discreet and safe to use among guests.
Will guests get wet?
With a properly designed system, no. The purpose isn't to wet people, tables or floors, but to cool the air. Nozzles are installed at the right height, in the right direction and at the right spacing so the mist evaporates in the air. During the site visit we check table layout, wind direction, canopies, pergolas, mounting height and airflow so the effect is fresh — not bothersome.
What about hair, makeup and clothing?
This is a key question for every hospitality operator. With a professional high-pressure system humidity changes only marginally, and the mist is fine enough to evaporate quickly. Guests shouldn't feel wet, and the system mustn't damage hair, makeup or clothes. Proper installation is essential. The system must create a sense of freshness, not a sense of damp.
Does the system wet tables, chairs, floors or cutlery?
No, when properly sized and tuned. In a professional installation the mist evaporates in the air before settling on surfaces. The system must be matched to terrace size, mounting height, wind exposure and seating layout. If droplets fall on tables or floors, the system is either misconfigured or being operated in unsuitable conditions. That's why a proper site visit is part of preparing the solution.
Does the system raise the humidity on the terrace?
Yes, but in a very controlled way when used properly. Because the space is usually open or semi-open, humidity disperses quickly into the surroundings. The system mustn't create a muggy feeling. Operation can be tuned to temperature, humidity, wind and time of day. The goal is a pleasant microclimate, not a humid room.
Does more water mean more cooling?
In principle, yes. The more water evaporates in the air, the more heat is taken from the surroundings and the greater the cooling effect. But water use must be properly controlled. The aim isn't to use as much water as possible, but to maximise cooling without wetting guests, furniture or floors. So the system is tuned to actual terrace conditions.
Can the system adapt automatically to conditions?
Yes. The system can switch on by temperature, schedule, manual override or extra sensors. More advanced versions also adapt to relative humidity. Automation is very important in hospitality because staff have no time to manage the system manually. It must run when needed and stop when conditions are no longer suitable.
Why is a UV steriliser important?
Because guests breathe air containing fine water mist, water quality must be controlled. Our systems include a UV steriliser that helps ensure microbiological safety. This is especially important in hospitality, hotels, wellness areas and public terraces, where the system must be safe, hygienic and suitable for use near guests.
Does the system support HACCP principles?
Yes. With UV sterilisation, proper filtration, regular maintenance and water quality control, the system supports HACCP. It's important that the system is used and maintained per the prescribed regime. For operators this means better control over the water dispersed into the environment and safer use within the venue.
Do you offer regular maintenance?
Yes. We offer professional regular maintenance that ensures reliable operation throughout the season. We check filters, nozzles, tubing, the high-pressure pump, UV steriliser, controls, seals and spray quality. Worn components are cleaned or replaced and the system is recalibrated to actual usage conditions.
Why is regular maintenance important for the operator?
Operators need a system that runs reliably when the terrace is full and temperatures are at their peak. Clogged nozzles, low pressure, uneven spray or poor water quality can quickly damage the guest experience. Regular maintenance means less worry, longer equipment life, hygienically safer operation and a stable cooling effect on the busiest days.
Do you guarantee flawless operation?
With regular professional maintenance and proper use we ensure flawless operation within the agreed service regime. We check, clean, adjust and prepare the system for each season. For the operator that means focusing on guests while we keep the misting system running correctly, safely and reliably.
Does the system help against mosquitoes and flies?
Yes. The fine mist makes it harder for mosquitoes and flies to fly and settle in the terrace area. Tiny droplets and air motion create conditions insects find less hospitable. It doesn't eliminate every insect, but it can noticeably improve guest comfort, especially in the evening or near water, lawns, pools and gardens.
Can we repel mosquitoes with natural aromas?
Yes. Suitable natural aromas can be added to the system to help repel mosquitoes while creating a pleasant ambience. The aromas must be suitable for this use, discreet, and not interfere with food, drinks or guests. In hospitality it's essential that the scent is pleasant, not overpowering.
Can the system be used for pleasant ambient aromas?
Yes. The system can carry gentle natural or ambient fragrances that improve the feel of the terrace. Suitable for hotels, lounge bars, wellness areas, summer gardens and private terraces. We recommend phrasing it as 'natural aromas' or 'ambient fragrances' rather than promising medicinal effects. The aim is better ambience and a more pleasant guest experience.
Does the system help with unpleasant odours?
Yes. The misting system can help neutralise unpleasant odours in outdoor spaces. Useful where smells come from the kitchen, waste, drains, traffic or surroundings. With suitable odour-neutralisation agents the sense of freshness on the terrace can be improved. The system must be tuned discreetly so the space doesn't feel artificially perfumed.
Is the system suitable for hotels?
Yes. Hotels can use the misting system on outdoor terraces, by pools, in wellness areas, outdoor restaurants, lounges and event spaces. Hotel guests expect a higher level of comfort, so a pleasantly cooled outdoor space is an important advantage. The system can improve the guest experience, extend the use of outdoor areas and add to the hotel's offering.
Can you also help with pre-cooling chillers at hotels?
Yes. At hotels, restaurants and larger facilities the system can be used to pre-cool outdoor A/C units, condensers and cooling equipment. On hot days these units operate in overheated outdoor air, are more stressed and use more energy. Fine mist can lower the inlet air temperature ahead of the heat exchanger, relieving the unit and significantly reducing energy use. Such a solution must be properly engineered to avoid limescale, corrosion and wetting of sensitive parts.
Does the system use a lot of electricity?
No. Electricity use is low compared with classical cooling of large outdoor areas — which often isn't feasible at all in practice. The system mainly uses the high-pressure pump, controls and ancillaries such as the UV steriliser. For the operator, the main point is that for relatively modest energy use the terrace becomes usable on the hottest days.
Does the system use a lot of water?
Water use depends on terrace size, nozzle count, settings, temperature, wind and runtime. Because the system works with very fine droplets, use is controlled. More evaporated water means more cooling, but the system must be set so water isn't lost to the floor or onto guests. Good automation finds the right balance between effect and consumption.
Does wind affect the system?
Yes. Wind is one of the most important factors for outdoor terraces. A terrace strongly exposed to wind disperses the mist faster and the effect may be smaller. So during the site visit we check wind direction, openness, shade, canopies, fences, planting and table layout. A good design accounts for actual conditions, not just floor area.
Is the system suitable under a pergola, awning or canopy?
Yes, when properly installed. Under a pergola, awning or canopy care is needed so the mist doesn't spray directly onto fabric, furniture or guests. Nozzles must be positioned so the mist disperses into the air and evaporates. With a well-planned installation the system can be very discreet and effective.
Is the system visually disruptive?
No, when properly designed. Tubing and nozzles can be discreetly integrated alongside a pergola, canopy, façade, woodwork, parasol or terrace edge. In hospitality aesthetics matter, so the system must be both functional and as unobtrusive as possible. Guests should feel the pleasant effect, not see the equipment.
Is the system noisy?
On the terrace itself the system is typically very discreet. The high-pressure pump can be placed in a technical room, service area, storage or another suitable location away from guests. On the terrace only the nozzles and tubing are present, which when properly installed don't disturb the ambience.
Is the system also suitable for private terraces?
Yes. The misting system is also suitable for home terraces, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, balconies, gardens, pools and outdoor lounging. It lets private users enjoy outdoor living even on hot summer days. The same benefits hospitality gains can also improve comfort at home.
Is the system suitable for pools and wellness areas?
Yes. By pools, in wellness gardens, hotel lounge spaces and outdoor relaxation zones the misting system creates a sense of freshness and higher-quality space. It lets guests stay comfortably in the sun or shade. Combined with gentle aromas the space can feel even more relaxing and refined.
Is the system suitable for events and parties?
Yes. The system is very useful for weddings, business events, summer parties, concerts, club terraces, private celebrations and poolside events. On hot days a more pleasant temperature can dramatically improve the guest experience. The fine mist also has a visual quality, contributing to a special ambience.
Is the system safe for children and pets?
With proper use, yes. The system produces a fine water mist intended to cool the air, not to spray directly onto people or animals. At private terraces, gardens and pools, nozzles must be installed at suitable heights and the system mustn't create wet or slippery surfaces.
What needs to be checked before installation?
Before installation we check terrace size, table layout, mounting height, wind exposure, type of canopy, water and electrical access, water quality, possibility of concealed installation, the desired effect, use of aromas, insect repellence, UV steriliser and control method. Based on this we determine nozzle count, pump power, tube routing and operating mode.
Why is a site visit the best first step?
Every terrace is different. Some are open and windy, others covered, others narrow, shaded or in direct sun. A site visit lets us design the system for real conditions rather than guessing. The result: cooling without wetting guests, better aesthetics, correct water use and reliable operation through the season.
What's the first step to check whether the system suits us?
The first step is to request a site visit. During the visit we check actual conditions, installation possibilities, water quality, the venue's needs, table layout, expected effect and ongoing-maintenance options. Based on that we prepare a tailored proposal for a summer garden, hospitality terrace, hotel space, private terrace, wellness area, garden or poolside zone.
Barn cooling and humidity control
Frequently asked questions about cooling barns and humidity control in agriculture
Why is barn cooling so important during the summer months?
Barns heat up quickly in summer, especially with higher stocking density, poor airflow or buildings under heavy sun exposure. High temperatures cause heat stress, reduced welfare, lower activity, more restlessness and a drop in productivity. Dairy cows can drop in milk yield, poultry mortality risk rises, and pigs are heavily burdened — especially in farrowing rooms. Adiabatic cooling with a misting system helps lower barn temperature and create more stable conditions for the animals.
How does an adiabatic cooling system in a barn work?
The system disperses water into the space as a very fine mist. Tiny droplets absorb heat from the air as they evaporate, naturally lowering the temperature. With proper installation and control, the mist evaporates in the air without wetting animals, feed, bedding or equipment. It is an efficient way to cool large livestock buildings where conventional A/C is often impractical or uneconomic.
Does the misting system wet the animals, bedding or feed?
With correct design, no. The system must be installed at the right height, with proper aim and the right amount of water. The aim is not to wet animals or surfaces, but to create a fine mist that evaporates in the air and cools it. So before installation we examine the barn, airflow, building height, animal layout, feeding and resting areas and ventilation.
What are the benefits for dairy cows?
With dairy cows, heat stress is one of the main reasons for summer milk-yield drops. When too hot, cows eat less, spend more energy on cooling themselves and struggle to keep milk output up. The misting system helps lower temperature and improve cow comfort, so milk yield can stay more stable even in hot periods. With a well-designed system the investment can pay back quickly, especially where summer heat strongly affects production.
Does the system work for bulls?
Yes. In bulls, heat can cause restlessness, irritability and stressed behaviour. Controlled cooling helps create a calmer environment, which has positive effects on animals and barn work. Beyond cooling, the added humidity helps with slatted floors by reducing excessive drying and dirt build-up. This eases maintenance and contributes to a tidier barn.
How does the system help on poultry farms?
Poultry are very sensitive to heat stress. At high temperatures activity drops, organ stress rises, and in extremes mortality can increase. The misting system lowers building temperature and improves conditions for the birds. Proper cooling can reduce the risk of heat stress, improve flock welfare and contribute to more stable production on hot summer days.
Is the misting system suitable for pig farms?
Yes, especially in spaces where heat is the biggest issue. It is very useful in farrowing rooms, where a comfortable environment must be created for sows and piglets. Pigs cannot sweat and are quickly affected by heat. Proper cooling reduces heat stress, improves welfare and creates healthier conditions. The system must be adapted to each zone, as sows and piglets have different temperature needs.
Does misting reduce stressed animal behaviour?
Yes — with properly controlled cooling, restlessness, irritability and stress behaviour often decrease. With lower temperatures and more pleasant air, animals rest, feed and behave naturally more easily. Less stress means better welfare, more stable health and better production conditions.
Does the system also help workers in the barn?
Yes. A better microclimate helps not only animals but also the people working in the barn. Lower temperature, less dust, fewer insects and fresher air improve working conditions. Work in a hot, dusty barn is demanding, so the system can significantly contribute to greater safety, comfort and efficiency for workers.
How does the misting system reduce dust in the barn?
Fine water mist binds dust particles in the air, increases their mass and helps them settle faster. Dust in barns typically comes from bedding, feed, dry material, animal movement and equipment work. Reducing airborne dust gives cleaner air, less respiratory load on animals and people, and a more pleasant working and rearing environment.
Does the system help with insects?
Misting can help reduce the presence of insects or drive them away from the area where the system operates. Fine mist, better air control and the option of interval operation can create conditions insects find less favourable. This further improves comfort for animals and workers, especially in summer evenings when insects in barns are most disruptive.
Can the same system control humidity in enclosed spaces?
Yes. In addition to cooling, the system can also control relative humidity in enclosed agricultural buildings. This is useful where the air is too dry, where lots of dust is raised or where more stable conditions are needed for animals, plants, feed or stored materials. The system can be controlled by humidity sensors and operates only when needed.
Is the system suitable for greenhouses?
Yes. In greenhouses, temperature and humidity control is critical for plant growth, crop quality and condition stability. The misting system can help lower temperature, raise relative humidity and reduce plant stress during hot periods. In a greenhouse it's important to coordinate the system with ventilation, shading, irrigation and plant type.
Can the system be used for disinfection?
Yes, the misting system can also be used for periodic disinfection of the building when designed for that and when suitable, instructions-compliant agents are used. This can be useful for better hygiene in barns, poultry buildings, pig farms and other agricultural spaces. For disinfection the safety of animals, people and equipment, and the prescribed procedures, must be respected.
Does the system run automatically?
Yes. Professional misting systems can be controlled automatically by temperature, relative humidity, schedules, ventilation or the needs of a specific building. The system doesn't run by feel but by actual conditions in the barn. Automated control prevents overwetting, reduces water use and provides a more even effect.
How much can barn temperature drop?
The effect depends on outdoor temperature, relative humidity, ventilation, barn size, mounting height, nozzle count and control method. In hot, dry conditions the effect is larger; in very humid conditions, smaller. So a site visit is important to assess on-site what result is realistically expected.
Is the system energy-efficient?
Yes. Adiabatic cooling uses far less energy than conventional cooling of large agricultural buildings, since it relies primarily on water, a high-pressure pump, nozzles and automation. The system is especially sensible where larger areas, animals or work zones must be cooled — rather than fully closing and air-conditioning the whole building.
Can the investment pay back quickly?
In buildings where heat directly affects animal productivity, the investment can pay back very quickly. For dairy cows the main effect is more stable summer milk yield; for poultry, lower risk of heat-stress mortality; for pigs, better conditions in critical spaces such as farrowing rooms. Actual payback depends on building size, animal numbers, summer losses and the chosen solution.
What must be checked before installation?
Before installation we check building size and height, ventilation, animal layout, type of rearing, feeding and resting areas, bedding, existing equipment, water supply, water quality, electrical connection and the system's purpose. The purpose can be cooling, humidity control, dust reduction, disinfection or a mix. Based on the visit we determine nozzle placement, pump, filters, control and tubing layout.
Why is a site visit the best first step?
Every barn, greenhouse or agricultural building is different. Heights, ventilation, animal type, stocking density, heat load, dust, humidity and working method vary. So a universal solution isn't the best choice. A site visit lets us assess actual conditions and prepare a system tailored to the farm's specific needs. The result: better effect, safer operation and better long-term value.
Which agricultural buildings are most suitable?
The system is suitable for dairy barns, bull barns, pig farms, poultry farms, farrowing rooms, greenhouses, feed storage and other enclosed or semi-open agricultural buildings. It can be used for cooling, humidity control, dust reduction, microclimate improvement, disinfection support and better conditions for animals and workers.
What is the main advantage of a misting system in agriculture?
The key advantage is that with one system you can address several issues at once: heat stress, dry air, dust, insects, lower animal welfare and harder working conditions for people. A properly designed system helps create a healthier, calmer, more productive environment for animals and a more pleasant work environment on the farm.
What's the first step to check whether the system suits our barn?
The first step is to request a site visit. During the visit we check actual conditions, animal needs, existing ventilation, problem zones and installation options. Based on this we prepare a tailored proposal for a specific barn, farm, greenhouse or other agricultural building.
Misting in industry
Frequently asked questions about misting systems in industry
Is the misting system suitable for large production halls?
Yes. High-pressure misting is especially suitable for large industrial spaces where cooling the whole hall isn't always sensible or efficient. The system can be aimed at specific work areas, production lines, loading zones, storage areas or parts of the building where temperatures are highest. So you don't have to cool the entire air volume — you improve the microclimate where the effect matters most.
Does the mist wet floors, products or machines?
With a properly designed system, no. A high-pressure system atomises water into very fine droplets that evaporate quickly at suitable temperature, humidity and airflow. The choice of nozzles, pressure, layout, mounting height, water flow and automatic control is essential. If the system is mis-sized or runs at too-high humidity, wetting can occur, so professional design is essential.
How does the system lower temperature?
The system works on the principle of adiabatic cooling. Water is dispersed as a fine mist; droplets absorb heat from the surrounding air as they evaporate. As a result the air temperature naturally drops. The effect is best at higher temperatures and lower relative humidity, so the system is particularly useful in hot summer periods, production halls, warehouses and outdoor technical surfaces.
Can the system also control humidity?
Yes. In industries where stable relative humidity matters for material quality and the production process, a misting system is very useful. This applies to paper, printing, woodworking, textile production, certain storage spaces and other processes where low humidity causes drying, warping, shrinkage, cracking, static electricity or more dust in the air.
How does the misting system reduce airborne dust particles?
Fine water mist binds to airborne dust particles, increases their mass and helps them settle faster, or makes them easier to capture by ventilation or extraction systems. This is especially useful for woodworking, textiles, paper, mineral materials, metals, granular materials, packaging, pallets and bulk materials. The result is less dust in the space, less buildup on equipment and a more pleasant work environment.
Does the system replace industrial dust extraction?
No. The misting system isn't a substitute for dedicated extraction, filtration or ventilation where those are required by safety, regulation or process. It can however be a very effective additional measure to reduce airborne dust, improve air quality and limit the spread of dust through the space.
Is the system suitable for foundries and metal industry?
Yes, but it must be carefully designed. In foundries, metal industries and thermally demanding production, heat sources, airflow, sensitive equipment, safety requirements, the process and areas where the system can be used without negative impact on production all need consideration. A properly placed system can help lower temperature, reduce dust and improve conditions for workers.
Can it be used in the food industry?
Yes, but the system must be adapted to hygiene requirements, water quality, product types, cleaning practices, ventilation and the rules of each facility. In the food industry it can be used for cooling, preventing product drying, dust reduction or improving microclimate in specific parts of production. For such facilities a professional site visit is particularly important.
Does the misting system help workers in hot conditions?
Yes. Lower temperature, more balanced humidity, less dust and a sense of freshness can significantly improve working conditions. In hot halls the sense of stuffiness and heat load is often reduced. This can help workers more easily maintain focus, energy and a better feeling through the shift.
What do negative air ions in the mist mean?
When water is atomised into very fine droplets, negative air ions can form — similar to natural environments near waterfalls, ocean waves or vigorous water motion. People often perceive such environments as fresher and more pleasant. It's not a medical solution and doesn't replace ventilation, but combined with lower temperature, proper humidity and less dust it can contribute to a more pleasant work environment.
How much can the temperature drop in a space?
The effect depends on temperature, relative humidity, ventilation, room height, nozzle placement, water flow and how it's used. In dry, hot conditions the effect is larger; in very humid spaces, smaller. So during the site visit we assess the realistic cooling potential for a specific location, not just the theoretical figure.
Does the system use a lot of water?
Water use depends on system size, nozzle count, runtime, settings and the use case. Because it's a fine mist, water quantities are usually far lower than for coarse spraying or wetting surfaces. A professional system is controlled by temperature and humidity sensors, so it runs only when sensible.
Does the system use a lot of electricity?
Compared with conventional cooling of large industrial spaces, electricity use is generally low because the system mainly uses the high-pressure pump, controls and any fans. The greatest energy benefit shows where conventional climatisation of a large hall would be very expensive or technically inefficient.
Can the system be integrated with building automation?
Yes. Modern misting systems can be controlled by temperature, relative humidity, schedules, work shifts or outdoor conditions. For more demanding industrial buildings the solution can also be linked to existing automation, ventilation or BMS, depending on technical requirements and equipment used.
Where in the building are nozzles installed?
Nozzles are placed according to the system's purpose. For cooling workers — above work areas or alongside production lines. For dust reduction — aimed at areas where dust is released. For humidity control — distributed so humidity spreads evenly through the space. For pre-cooling A/C — installed ahead of outdoor units or heat exchangers in a way that avoids harmful wetting of equipment.
Is the system suitable for outdoor industrial surfaces?
Yes. Misting systems can also be used on outdoor surfaces such as loading ramps, manipulation areas, open warehouses, recycling facilities, outdoor work zones and outdoor technical areas. Outdoor use must account for wind, sun load, dust sources and on-site work practices.
What maintenance does the system need?
The system needs regular checks of filters, nozzles, pump, tube connections, sensors and water quality. With mineral-rich water, additional treatment may be needed to prevent nozzle clogging and limescale. Regular maintenance is important for stable operation, fine mist quality, long equipment life and safe use.
Is a site visit required before installation?
Yes. A site visit is the best first step. On-site we check temperature, humidity, hall height, ventilation, heat sources, dust processes, sensitive materials, work-station layout, existing equipment and the intended objective. Based on the visit we can prepare a solution adapted to real conditions, not just a generic estimate.
Which industries is the system most suitable for?
The system is suitable for production halls, warehouses, logistics centres, printers, paper industry, textiles, woodworking, food processing, foundries, metal industry, recycling facilities, bulk-material plants and outdoor industrial surfaces. Use depends on the goal: cooling, humidity control, dust reduction, microclimate improvement or pre-cooling of technical equipment.
What's the first step to check the system's suitability?
The first step is to request a site visit. On site we assess whether the system is suitable, where it would have the greatest effect, what equipment is needed and what result is realistically expected. Based on this we prepare a professionally tailored proposal for the specific industrial environment.
Cooling parks and city centres
High-pressure misting in the public realm — cooling arches, misting columns and sculptural installations for squares, playgrounds, promenades, bus stops and markets. A strategic response to urban heat islands: a local felt-temperature drop of 8–12 °C, public safety during heatwaves, higher-quality public space.
The urban challenge
Slovenian cities — Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Koper, Novo mesto — record asphalt and concrete surface temperatures above 55 °C during summer heatwaves, and nighttime cooling that lags rural areas by several hours. Green spaces help but are a slow remedy — a tree planted today won't cool the area for ten years. High-pressure misting is an immediate, tactical, localised response.
The public-health argument
Heatwaves are Europe's deadliest extreme weather event. For the elderly, infants and chronically ill, the risk of heat stroke peaks between 2pm and 6pm — exactly when people move through public space. A cooled walk to a bus, a cooling arch in front of a shop or a misting installation on a playground are concrete public-health infrastructure.
Five public scenarios
Cooling arch over benches and promenades — a linear structure over a path or walk. Seaside promenades (Portorož, Izola, Koper), Ljubljana's Tivoli, city streets with little greenery.
Sculptural misting columns — upright structures from minimal metal posts to sculptural objects. Placed in squares, playgrounds and in front of public buildings.
Playgrounds and water-play — the most popular installation type. Low-pressure mist, safe materials, slip-resistant flooring. UV-sterilised water, hygienic for daily exposure.
Bus and rail stops — covered shelters with nozzles built into the structure. Presence-sensor control — the system turns on only when someone is waiting.
Markets and covered public spaces — central markets, covered passages and open sports halls. The system cools the space and also helps keep produce fresh on the stalls.

Public space is a design matter. We develop every installation together with a landscape architect or designer working for the municipality. We collaborate with the sTorks Architecture atelier — a reference architectural studio for public and private installations in Slovenia.
Public tenders
We prepare the technical documentation, bill of works and project drawings for public tenders by municipalities, state institutions and EU-funded projects (URBACT, Horizon Europe, NextGenerationEU). For municipalities trialling the technology for the first time, we organise temporary pilot installations (one season).
