Cooling Fog System Activated on Baekun Lake Ecological Trail in Uiwang City

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City has installed a heat mitigation facility called "cooling fog" on the Baekun Lake ecological trail and will begin operations starting the 15th.

Cooling fog is a system that sprays tap water in the form of artificial mist under high pressure. With an extremely small particle size that immediately evaporates, it does not wet clothing or skin when it comes into contact, and has the effect of lowering ambient temperature by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius.

The cooling fog system, installed in a 200-meter section of the trail, is planned to operate through mid-September on days without rain when the temperature reaches 25 degrees Celsius or higher.
