Busan Gijang Library Self-Develops and Installs 'Cooling Fog System' to Beat the Heat

Installation of cooling fog at Gijang Library.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] On the 13th, Busan Gijang-gun announced that it has self-produced and installed a 'Cooling Fog System' at the entrance of the reopened Gijang Library.

The Cooling Fog System is a device that sprays water as artificial fog, which lowers the surrounding temperature and reduces fine dust, so it is expected that residents visiting the library during the midday heat will feel cool and refreshed.

As the government shifted its response to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) to 'social distancing in daily life,' Gijang Library installed this Cooling Fog System as part of providing convenience to residents along with thorough daily quarantine measures and phased reopening.

Choi Seon-dan, head of Gijang Library, said, "We produced this to offer even a small help to library users during the difficult times of COVID-19," and added, "After pilot operation and improving the device's functions, we plan to expand installation to public libraries throughout Gijang-gun."
