Hard to have misting without having high humidy also..Again it would not work in a high humidity condition. It works relitive to the ambient humidity level. Anything above 30% is not feasable. I would think more than one misting head would be in order. A fan would even be better. If you must use water use heavy water.
You are not trying to cool the air but rather the skin. Then why have AC in your house? Do some research on cooling dairy cattle or talk to people that have tried it. Around here they have been using mist for years. All you have to do is go to a livestock show. They are cooling both cattle and people.I have used it and you must have larger beadlets of water AND moving air. If you can have one take the moving air. Now I know we're really not necessarily talking dairy here but cows are cows and water is water.
I did the research as advised. The recomended rate of water to be used at 87 degrees and above is .35 gallons every 5 minutes. Which is 33.6 gallons per 8 hour day, per cow. Not very economical for a beef cow. It would not take long at that rate to justify a pole structure with shade cloth, that is if ther were not already trees available.
