Are You And Your Horses Suffering Unduly In The Heat?
Horses suffer with heat just like people do. They can even get heat stroke. Rapid Cool offers quick and effective relief to horses with their Misting Fans and Stainless Mist Line via evaporative cooling. Owners, stable managers and barn employees will also enjoy the relief offered by Rapid Cool so that working in the barn, or riding in the arena becomes more pleasant for everyone (horses and owners!)

Mist Cooling Fans by Rapid Cool

Mist cooling fans are an economical way to cool both large and small areas. They can be used both in and outdoors. Large fans with oscillators can sweep entire rooms or areas with great results. These fans are great for machine operators in hot environments such as laundry machines or other operations where heat is generated. A hot warehouse where personnel assemble or package parts is another good use. Mist rings are made of durable stainless steel tube with welded nozzle holders and screw-in replaceable nozzles. Beyond 5-6 ft in front of the fan the air is completely dry (fully evaporated mist) and the air is cooled up to 25 degrees.

Stainless Steel Mist Line

Rapidcool prefabricated mist line is our mark of quality. This type 316L High pressure stainless steel tube is rated to 3000 PSI and is the ultimate for quality and value. Prefabricated nozzle spacing is available to match the application. Custom spacing is also available. Mist line can be painted to match the surroundings or powder coated in many stock colors. 20 ft lengths are the standard (must ship by common carrier) cut to sizes under 108 inches can be shipped by UPS. Nozzle weld fittings are available in 10/24 nozzle thread sizes and tube can be bent with a standard tube bender.

What does the Rapid Cool fan and misting line actually do?

Rapid Cool pairs an air-circulating fan with a high-pressure mist line so the two work together: the fan moves air across the horse while the mist evaporates the instant it leaves the nozzle. This is the company's "flash evaporation" principle — the droplets vanish on contact, so the horse feels a noticeable temperature drop without ever getting wet. Rapid Cool states the system can lower the temperature in stables and surrounding areas by as much as 20 degrees. Around the broader farm and in livestock settings, the company cites drops of up to 35 degrees depending on placement and conditions.

Why heat is genuinely dangerous for horses

Horses shed roughly 85% of their body heat through perspiration and evaporation, relying on the rest from panting — which is exactly why a hot, still barn defeats their natural cooling. Rapid Cool warns that a horse coming off exercise into a warm barn can suffer heat stroke or physical exhaustion, and that prolonged heat exposure can cause a horse to lose muscle control, creating real danger for both horse and rider. A misting fan restores the evaporative cooling the horse depends on, helping prevent the heat stress that "can happen to virtually any healthy horse."

Fan sizes and mounting options to fit any barn

Rapid Cool offers misting fans in sizes ranging from 12 to 48 inches, so a single stall, a wash rack, an aisle, or an entire arena can each be matched to the right airflow. The fans are available as pedestal (portable floor) units, wall-mounted units, and ceiling-mounted units. Wall-mounted misting fans are specifically recommended for stable use, and units can also be positioned along fence lines, on gates, or in shaded areas where horses gather.

Cooling, fly control, and cleaner air in one unit
Beyond temperature, Rapid Cool's misting fans repel flying insects — the moving air and mist discourage flies from settling on horses — and the fine mist helps knock down airborne pollen and dust in the barn. The company lists seven core livestock benefits: reducing temperature, creating a comfortable environment, eliminating heat stress, reducing disease risk, improving air quality, repelling insects, and doing it all with minimal water use. Rapid Cool also notes that hot horses naturally gather around the mist fans and plant themselves there to cool off.

Proven across livestock, not just horses
The same Rapid Cool technology used on horses is deployed across dairy and swine operations, which underscores how effective it is in real heat. The company points to documented production gains in cooled herds — up to 6 pounds more milk per day per cow — and references a University of Kentucky finding that swine growth increased 10 to 20% with cooling. For horse owners, that track record means the misting fan over your stall is the same proven evaporative cooling that commercial animal operations rely on through the hottest months.

The Solution Section (FAQ)

What does Rapid Cool Misting Systems make?

Rapid Cool Misting Systems makes Mist Cooling Fans and a Stainless Steel Mist Line that cool horses, barns, arenas, and commercial spaces through evaporative cooling. The systems can also provide a dynamic visual effect for any home, barn, or commercial location.

Can horses really suffer from heat?

Yes. Horses suffer with heat just like people do and can even get heat stroke. Rapid Cool offers quick and effective relief through its Misting Fans and Stainless Mist Line, and owners, stable managers, and barn employees enjoy the same relief so working in the barn or riding in the arena is more pleasant for everyone.

How do the Mist Cooling Fans work?

The mist cooling fans are an economical way to cool both large and small areas, indoors or outdoors. Large fans with oscillators can sweep entire rooms or areas, and beyond 5–6 ft in front of the fan the air is completely dry (fully evaporated mist) while the air is cooled up to 25 degrees.

Where else can the misting fans be used?

Beyond the barn and arena, the fans work well for machine operators in hot environments such as laundry operations, and for hot warehouses where personnel assemble or package parts. The mist rings are made of durable stainless steel tube with welded nozzle holders and screw-in replaceable nozzles.

What is the Stainless Steel Mist Line?

Rapid Cool’s prefabricated mist line is its mark of quality — type 316L high-pressure stainless steel tube rated to 3000 PSI for the ultimate in quality and value. Prefabricated nozzle spacing is available to match the application, with custom spacing also available.

Can the mist line be customized to fit my space?

Yes. The mist line can be painted to match the surroundings or powder coated in many stock colors. Standard lengths are 20 ft (must ship by common carrier), while cuts under 108 inches can ship by UPS. Nozzle weld fittings come in 10/24 nozzle thread sizes and the tube can be bent with a standard tube bender.

Will the mist make everything wet?

No. The system uses fully evaporative cooling — beyond about 5 to 6 feet in front of the fan the mist is fully evaporated and the air is completely dry, so you get the cooling effect without soaking the area.

How do I order a Rapid Cool fan and mist line?

Just contact Rapid Cool to place your order — call 800-573-4437 or email [email protected]. Don’t let yourself or your horse suffer in the hot sun when the Rapid Cool system of products can provide relief.

What is the Rapid Cool fan and misting line?

It is a cooling system that combines an air-circulating fan with a high-pressure mist line. The fan blows air across the animal while the mist evaporates on contact, producing evaporative cooling. Rapid Cool calls this 'flash evaporation' because the droplets disappear before they can leave the horse wet.

How much can a Rapid Cool misting fan lower the temperature?

Rapid Cool states the system can cool stable and surrounding areas by as much as 20 degrees. In broader livestock and farm settings the company cites reductions of up to 35 degrees, and one blog references drops of up to 15 degrees Celsius. Actual results depend on humidity, placement, and airflow.

Will the misting fan get my horse wet?

No. The whole point of the flash-evaporation design is that the fine mist evaporates the instant it contacts the air and the horse, leaving no trace of wetness. Hot horses can stand directly in front of the unit and stay dry while being cooled.

Can heat really be dangerous for horses?

Yes. Rapid Cool warns that a horse coming off exercise into a warm barn could suffer heat stroke or physical exhaustion, and that this can happen to virtually any healthy horse. Prolonged heat exposure can cause a horse to lose muscle control, which creates danger of severe injury for both horse and rider.

How do horses cool themselves naturally, and why does misting help?

Horses shed roughly 85% of their body heat through perspiration and evaporation, relying on the remainder from panting. In a hot, still barn that evaporation slows down. A misting fan restores fast evaporative cooling by combining moving air with a fine mist, doing the work the horse's own sweat can't keep up with on the hottest days.

What fan sizes does Rapid Cool offer?

Rapid Cool offers misting fans in sizes ranging from 12 inches up to 48 inches. The smaller sizes suit a single stall or wash rack, while the larger fans can cover aisles, arenas, or open barn spaces. The staff helps match fan size to the area you need to cool.

How are the misting fans mounted?

They are available as pedestal (portable floor) units, wall-mounted units, and ceiling-mounted units. Wall-mounted misting fans are specifically recommended for stable use. Units can also be placed along fence lines, on gates, or in shaded areas where horses naturally gather.

Does Rapid Cool offer both portable and permanent systems?

Yes. Rapid Cool provides both portable cooling units you can move around the property and permanently installed systems for fixed locations. Their trained representatives help you choose the right configuration for your barn, arena, or farm based on your specific cooling needs.

Do the misting fans help with flies and insects?

Yes. The combination of moving air and fine mist repels flying insects, discouraging flies from settling on the horses. This is one of the seven core benefits Rapid Cool lists for livestock cooling, alongside temperature reduction and improved air quality.

Does the mist improve air quality in the barn?

Yes. Rapid Cool's fine mist helps reduce airborne pollen and dust in the barn environment. Cleaner air, combined with lower temperature and reduced heat stress, also contributes to a lower disease risk for the animals.

How much water does the system use?

Rapid Cool emphasizes minimal water usage, describing the misting fans as economical and efficient. Because the system relies on a fine high-pressure mist that flash-evaporates rather than soaking everything, it cools effectively without heavy water consumption.

Is this the same technology used on cattle and other livestock?

Yes. The same Rapid Cool misting-fan technology is used in dairy and swine operations. The company cites production gains in cooled herds — up to 6 pounds more milk per day per cow — and references a University of Kentucky finding that swine growth increased 10 to 20% with cooling, showing the system is proven in demanding commercial settings.

Where can I place the misting fans around my property?

You can place them in stalls, along fence lines, on gates, in shaded areas, in barn aisles, in arenas, or anywhere horses congregate during hot weather. Hot horses tend to gather around the mist fans on their own and stand there to cool off, so positioning a unit where they already rest works well.

At what temperatures should I be using a cooling system?

Rapid Cool discusses cooling for hot-weather conditions of 100°F and above, when horses are most at risk of heat stress. That said, a misting fan provides relief any time the barn becomes warm and still enough that the horses' natural evaporative cooling can't keep them comfortable.

How do I get a system designed for my specific barn?

Call Rapid Cool's staff at 818-519-2818 for help with misting-system design and to ask about current specials. They will size a system to your stalls, aisles, or arena and recommend whether portable or permanent equipment fits best. You can also review products and applications at rapidcool.com.

Can a misting system add a visual effect as well as cooling?

Yes. In addition to cooling horses and livestock, Rapid Cool notes that its fan and misting line can provide a dynamic visual effect to any home, barn, or commercial location. The drifting mist looks dramatic while it does the practical work of dropping the temperature.
