Soakers wet the animal and use a lot of water; in dry desert air, a large proportion of that water evaporates before it reaches the cow. Fogging instead cools the air the animals breathe, at 1–15 μm, using a fraction of the volume. In the Southwest that means lower water consumption, drier pens and cooler air in the same operation.
Cooling every square metre is not the objective; cooling the places where animals cannot escape the heat is.
Southwestern water is often hard and sometimes high in iron; fine nozzles are unforgiving, so inlet filtration (5 μm) and a cleaning interval are specified with every system, and pre-treatment is recommended where water is very hard. Control is temperature and humidity linked, zone by zone, because a dry afternoon and a monsoon-humid afternoon call for different duty. Published consumption is 3–8 L/min depending on nozzle count and scheduling — your quotation states the figure for your layout.

Yes, and that is the recommended arrangement: fog released into moving air evaporates faster and carries further than fog released into still air.
Temperature and humidity-linked controllers with multi-zone output, so each barn, pen or shed runs to its own conditions and backs off automatically when humidity is high.
