Portable cooling for events and temporary spaces
Corporate marquees, trade fairs, exhibitions, outdoor weddings, concerts and pop-up structures. When there is no fixed installation, cooling has to arrive, work and be dismantled without any building work. Blizzcool units can be moved, connected and lower the temperature by up to 10 °C using only electricity and water.
The heat challenge at events and temporary set-ups
A closed marquee with 200 people and stage lights can exceed 40 °C in summer within minutes. Trade fairs and exhibitions build up heat from lighting, electronic equipment and the sheer density of visitors. And outdoor events — weddings, festivals, launches — need a comfort zone that does not exist naturally under the sun.
Conventional air conditioning requires a fixed installation and a high power supply, and does not work well in open or semi-open spaces. Portable evaporative cooling is the most widely used solution at professional events because it needs no building work, uses little energy and works effectively with natural ventilation.
Misting systems complement cooling in open areas: they lower the ambient temperature with micro-droplets without wetting guests or furniture.
Typical applications
Each type of event has a different thermal and logistical profile. These are the scenarios where portable units add the most value.
Corporate marquees and trade fairs
Portable evaporative coolers to keep the temperature under control throughout full exhibition days. No fixed installation, no excessive noise, no building work.
Outdoor weddings and celebrations
Misting systems and evaporative coolers to create comfort zones outdoors. A fine mist that cools without wetting guests or damaging the decor.
Concerts, festivals and stages
Cooling for backstage, VIP areas, catering areas and rest areas for technical crew and artists. Units that move with the set-up.
Launches and temporary showrooms
Portable AC units for temporary enclosed spaces — press rooms, pop-up showrooms — where portable, short-term conventional air conditioning is needed.
Recommended units for events
The choice depends on the floor area, whether the space is open-air or covered, how long the event lasts and access to water and power. These are the product families most used at events.

Why Blizzcool for events
No fixed installation
The units arrive on wheels, connect to the mains and a water supply, and are removed at the end. No building work, no ducts, no changes to the space.
Works in open spaces
Evaporative cooling and misting do not need an enclosed space to be effective. They work in marquees, semi-open pavilions and outdoor areas.
Low power consumption
An evaporative cooler uses between 0.5 and 1.5 kW. At events with a limited power supply — a generator or a temporary connection — the difference is critical.
Quick set-up and dismantling
The units are deployed in minutes. A single operator can position and connect an evaporative cooler or a misting system during the event set-up.
Scalable to attendance
You can size the number of units according to attendance, floor area and the conditions on the day. Units are added or removed without redesigning the installation.
