With over 20 years of experience in developing cooling misting technology, Raintime is a leader in providing efficient and sustainable solutions for cooling urban areas. With urban heat waves on the rise, innovative approaches are needed to provide comfortable living conditions for residents and visitors. Raintime has taken up this challenge and offers innovative ways to create a refreshing environment.

Urban cooling

Misting showers and refreshment stations: Urban wellness

In partnership with cities and towns, Raintime builds innovative refreshment stations in high-traffic locations such as plazas, pedestrian malls and parks. These stations include mist showers, spray fog systems, cool stelae and more. Through regular intervals, they provide passersby with a gentle mist of water that noticeably lowers the ambient temperature. These practical amenities not only provide refreshment, but also help beautify the urban environment and contribute to mitigating heat stress.

Water features and cooling oases: Freshness and relaxation

Fog stelae, ground water fountains and water features developed by Raintime are used in many inner-city areas. These elements are effective tools for creating pleasant urban environments.

Praterstern as an impressive example

Raintime’s expertise is clearly evident in projects like the one at Praterstern. The impressive water feature at Praterstern covers an area of 500 square meters and fascinates with its star shape. The water jets, sprinklers and nebulizers of the water feature work in perfect harmony, adjusting according to temperature and season to effectively cool the square. A notable feature of this water feature is the ability to disable cooling when needed, providing exceptional flexibility. Combined with the generous green spaces and shady trees, the water feature creates a pleasant microclimate that can be enjoyed by visitors and passersby alike.

Focus on sustainability: resource-saving technology

Raintime attaches great importance to sustainability. The fogging technology used is based on adiabatic cooling, a principle of evaporative cooling. This enables cooling of the ambient air with low energy consumption. The technology is not only efficient, but also conserves resources. Water evaporation takes place with minimal water consumption, and the water used can be recycled, contributing to an environmentally friendly solution.

Raintime’s cooling misting technology is not only an innovative approach to combating urban heat pollution, but also a contribution to creating more livable urban spaces. By combining technology, creativity and sustainability, Raintime is helping to turn cities into pleasant and refreshing oases that are enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
