I have a misting system that is sold for misting a tent during summer, but I have not yet installed it because all my hoses to the balcony garden leak

Hi Arvin,
You're absolutely correct. If it's an open space (ie. outdoor) then fine misting is ok because natural evaporation will prevent it from becoming too wet. However, in enclosed space like a terrarium or green/cool house, those evaporated water will have no where to go, so misting will be too wet if you're this method to cool down that enclosure.
Evap fan helps by lowering the temperature (but not as much if compared to a A/C unit) and helps maintain a constant high Relative Humidity (RH) without getting anything wet. There're already a few evap cool houses in Thailand that's up and running and so far, their results are very encouraging...
