Whether you work in an office, warehouse, factory, shop or showroom most places of work require cooling in summer months. Until now the only cooling solution has been refrigerant based air conditioning. Recent Energy price rises have put energy efficiency at the top of everyone’s “to do” list and have raised questions about the sustainability of traditional air conditioning.
Evaporative Cooling
Evaporative cooling is an efficient and cost-effective way to cool your space.
By harnessing the power of evaporation, evaporative cooling systems draw in outside air and use it to cool an entire space.
This simple and efficient process provides a number of distinct advantages that can be enjoyed for years to come.
What is Evaporative Cooling? Evaporative cooling draws in outside air and passes it through moistened media, such as cooling pads. As the air passes through the media, it is chilled through the evaporation process.
This chilled air is then circulated into the building space.
This process not only cools the space, but also increases the humidity in the air.
Benefits of Evaporative Cooling:
There are many advantages to using an evaporative cooling system. These systems are extremely efficient, as they use up to 75 percent less energy than traditional air conditioning systems. This translates to huge energy savings throughout the year.
This type of cooling system is relatively inexpensive to install compared to other cooling options and are great for areas where traditional cooling may be ineffective.
Differences between Air Conditioning and Evaporative Cooling.
Evaporative cooling systems allows cool fresh air to circulate throughout a building forcing the stale hot air to be displaced out. Unlike air- conditioning which operates with re-circulated air. Air conditioning systems use refrigerated coils and a chemical refrigerant to draw out the heat and humidity in the air.
By contrast, evaporative cooling systems utilize the evaporation process to draw in outside air and lower the temperature in your working space, additionally, the humidity in the air will be increased when using evaporative cooling, which can be beneficial in dry climates. Evaporative coolers operate on the principle of air change and work as part of balanced ventilation system.
Most of the time outside air can be used to cool buildings; only on the hottest days does the cooling system kick in to cool the air before it is brought into the building.
Evaporative cooling offers several advantages for businesses.
A Reduction in temperature in the work place creates the obvious benefits of improved staff morale, increased productivity and a reduction in absenteeism: evaporative cooling can provide additional benefits
An Environmentally safe solution – A constant supply of naturally cooled air is supplied by the coolers without the use of environmentally damaging refrigerants. Potentially dangerous organisms do not present a risk as the water in an evaporative cooler circulates at a naturally cool temperature.
Unique design and process controls prevent water stagnation.
The plastic and stainless construction avoids corrosion.
Eliminates odours and stale air instead of re-circulating them.
Doors and windows can remain open with no detrimental effect on the efficiency or operating cost.
Correctly designed Evaporative Cooling Systems can consume 85% less electricity than conventional air conditioning systems which equates to savings of 10 tonnes of carbon per annum per cooler.
Provides a natural environment and improves air quality.
Evaporative cooling systems are more affordable compared to traditional air conditioning systems, which can be expensive to operate and maintain.
Evaporative coolers have the ability to filter dust particles and germs out of the air, providing a healthier, cleaner environment.
With only a fraction of the moving parts of an air conditioning system and requiring only basic water and electrical services, evaporative cooling is the simplest method of cooling your building.
