[QUOTE="simme, post: 1810679, member: 40418"] Misters and air conditioning don't go together. Think about the science. Misters cool the air but RAISE the humidity. Water is sprayed as a mist into moving air. It takes heat (BTU's) to evaporate liquid water. The tiny mist droplets in the air absorb heat from the air - cooling the air by taking btu's out of the air to evaporate the water, but ending up with higher humidity in the air. Warm air will "hold" more water vapor than cool air. Misters have a limited range of cooling. As you cool more (more mister nozzles), you add more humidity (water) until you end up with wet cattle and wet bedding and wet walls and surfaces. Saturated wet cows are not cool. Air conditioner cools the air temperature by moving heat from inside an enclosure to the outside using thermal properties of a refrigerant which results in removal of humidity (water) from the air. Hot air will hold more water than cold air. When the a/c cools the air, humidity in the air condenses on the cooling coil and is drained to the outside which gives cool lower humidity air in the cooler. Keeping cows in a refrigerated box is just unhealthy, unnatural and nasty. [/QUOTE]
