How it works:

Like Air Coolers, Mist Fans (Misting Fans, Misters) are based on the principle of evaporation. They both use a pump, water and a fan to throw out cool air. But that’s where the similarities end. The way they actually cool the body is very different.

The Air Cooler works by throwing out cool, moist air like an ocean or lake breeze.

A Mist Fan, on the other hand, works like sweat does to cool the body. It first sprays fine water droplets (mist) on the body, and then uses a breeze to evaporate these droplets, cooling down the body.
