Low-Noise Fog Cannon—Water Park Cooling System

Low-Noise Fog Cannon—Water Park Cooling System

Water parks in summer are popular destinations for tourists to escape the heat. However, under intense sun exposure, the surface temperature of slides, plazas and other areas often exceeds 40°C. This not only makes tourists feel uncomfortable, but also may lead to accelerated equipment aging and heatstroke among tourists. Traditional cooling methods such as sunshades have limited coverage, while fan cooling generates noisy sounds. Ordinary fog cannons can cool down, but their operating noise exceeds 70 decibels, disrupting the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of the park. The emergence of the low noise fog cannon, with its dual characteristics of “quiet operation + full-area cooling”, has created a comfortable and quiet cool environment for water parks.​

Core Advantages: Dual Guarantee of Quietness and Cooling​

The secret of the low noise fog cannon’s quietness lies in its optimized power system. It adopts an ultra-quiet motor and is paired with a noise-reducing and shock-absorbing base, so the operating noise can be controlled below 50 decibels—equivalent to the sound of daily conversation—without interfering with tourists’ laughter and interactions. At the same time, the equipment is equipped with low-pressure atomization technology, which can convert water mist into fine fog particles of 10-50 microns. These fog particles evaporate quickly in the air, absorbing surrounding heat, and can reduce the local temperature by 5-8°C without forming stagnant water, thus preventing tourists from slipping.​

Compared with traditional cooling equipment, the low noise fog cannon has a wider coverage range. A single unit can reach a range of 15-30 meters, and through 360-degree rotating spraying, it can easily cover areas such as slide platforms, rest areas and pool surroundings. One unit can meet the cooling needs of a 1,000-square-meter area. In addition, the equipment supports intelligent temperature-controlled startup: it automatically turns on when the ambient temperature exceeds 30°C and shuts down when it drops below 26°C, requiring no manual on-duty. This not only saves labor costs but also avoids energy waste.​

Scene Adaptation: Detailed Designs Tailored to Water Parks​

The water park environment is special, and the low noise fog cannon has been targeted optimized for this. The machine body is made of waterproof and anti-corrosion materials, which can resist moisture erosion and UV exposure, extending its service life to more than 8 years. The spray pipeline is equipped with an anti-clogging filter screen, which can filter impurities in water and prevent nozzle clogging from affecting the cooling effect. Some models are also equipped with a colored light system; when operating at night, the water mist and lights interweave to form a gorgeous landscape, enhancing the night play atmosphere of the park.​

Considering that there are many parent-child families, the equipment also has comprehensive safety protection designs. The nozzles are made of soft materials to prevent children from being injured by collisions. The circuit system is equipped with a leakage protection device to ensure safe operation in humid environments. At the same time, the equipment is compact in size and can be flexibly installed on lampposts, sunshade umbrella stands and other locations without occupying play space, perfectly integrating into the park environment.​

Case Study: The “Cool Transformation” of a Water Park​

A large water park in Guangdong receives more than 15,000 tourists per day on average in summer. In the past, the park placed 20 industrial fans in slide areas and rest areas for cooling, but the fans were noisy and could only blow to local areas, leading to constant tourist complaints. Last year, the park introduced 12 low noise fog cannons, which were installed around popular slides, beside rest pavilions and at pool entrances.​

After the equipment was put into operation, the temperature of the slide platforms dropped from 42°C to 34°C, and the temperature of the rest areas dropped from 38°C to 30°C, significantly improving tourists’ sensory comfort. More importantly, with the noise below 50 decibels, tourists could clearly hear their companions’ conversations, and the laughter and music in the park became more pleasant. During the summer operation period, tourist complaints about “being too hot” and “too noisy” decreased by 90%, and the revisit rate increased by 30%. In addition, due to the equipment’s automatic temperature-controlled operation, the average daily power consumption was only 15 kWh, saving 60% of energy compared with traditional fans.​

Conclusion​

The core competitiveness of a water park lies in providing tourists with a comfortable and pleasant play experience. The low noise fog cannon protects the park’s joyful atmosphere with quiet operation and dispels the summer heat with efficient cooling, allowing tourists to enjoy the fun of playing in water in a cool and quiet environment. When the fine mist gently lingers around the slides, it brings not only a drop in temperature but also thoughtful care for tourists’ experience, becoming a “cooling tool” for water parks’ summer operations.
