Koolfog, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-pressure outdoor cooling systems, has donated a robust misting system to the Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert. The new system will be installed above a large, shaded lunch area at the museum, providing effective evaporative cooling for active children and staff during the hot desert climate.

Why it matters

The Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert is a popular non-profit institution that offers year-round educational programs and activities for over 75,000 visitors annually. The new misting system will allow the museum to extend its outdoor programming and provide a more comfortable experience for guests, especially during the warmer spring and summer months.
