Cooling Fans & Misting Stations
Yes.
KDT provides cooling fans, misting fans, evaporative coolers and complete cooling stations with shade, water and seating, set up for workers and evacuees and kept running through the heat of the day.
Typical configuration
- Fans
- 24–48 in. drum and pedestal fans, roughly 5,000–20,000 CFM each
- Misting fans
- Fan-mounted mist rings, hose or tank fed, about 1–5 gal/hr of water
- Evaporative coolers
- About 5,000–20,000 CFM, roughly 15–25°F cooling in dry air
- Power
- 120 V, typically 2–10 A per unit
- Station
- Shade tent or canopy, seating, cold water, ice, optional AC tent
A cooling station is a shaded place to bring core temperature down: a shade structure or tent, high-volume or misting fans, evaporative coolers, cold water, ice and seating. KDT sets them up where people come off shift or wait in the sun: crew rehab, staging areas, distribution points, shoreline work zones and long security posts.
Match the tool to the air. Evaporative coolers and misting fans work best in dry heat, where they can drop air temperature 15 to 25°F. In Gulf Coast humidity after a hurricane they do much less, so there we lean on big fans, shade and air-conditioned cooling tents.
We run water to the misters or keep their tanks filled, keep ice and water stocked when we're running hydration too, and move the station as the work moves.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide cooling fans and misting stations?
Yes. We supply fans, misting fans, evaporative coolers and complete shaded cooling stations, and we set them up, keep them supplied and move them as needed.
Do misting fans and swamp coolers work in humidity?
Not well. They cool by evaporation, so they're most effective in dry air. In humid conditions we use high-volume fans, shade and air-conditioned tents instead.
What does a cooling station need?
Shade, airflow, cold water and somewhere to sit, plus 120 V power for fans and a water source or tank for misters. We bring all of it.
Can you set up public cooling sites after a hurricane?
Yes. We set up shaded, air-conditioned cooling sites with water and seating at shelters, distribution points or community sites, with the generator power to run them.
