Evaporative Cooling
Evaporative Coolers can be used for a myriad of different applications and have been used throughout Europe on projects ranging from large industrial applications such as cooling warehouses and factories to more public orientated tasks such as cooling garden centres, retail outlets, keeping classrooms cool and air cooling hospital waiting areas and through to commercial applications such as air cooling offices, cooling data centres and cooling server rooms.
They will reduce the incoming air temperature from outside by upto 8-degrees C and are a fraction of the price of traditional air conditioning systems to install, maintain and run.
How does it Work
Evaporative heat exchanging takes advantage of the principles of latent heat of evaporation where tremendous heat is exchanged when water evaporates. It makes use of the free latent energy in the atmosphere. Compared to air-conditioning which uses mechanical refrigeration, evaporative heat exchanging operating cost are 90% LESS than air-conditioning.
Evaporative cooling 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, 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.
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 - evaporation is a natural process and requires no refrigerants.
- Eliminates odours and stale air instead of re-circulating them.
- Money saving - running costs up to 90% less than an equivalent refrigeration system
- doors and windows can remain open with no detremental effect on the efficiency or operating cost.
- Saves up to 10,000kg of carbon per year compared to an equivalent air conditioning system
- Provides a natural environment and improves air quality
Temperature drops of 15 degrees can be regularly achieved with the air off temperature always below 23 degrees in the UK . We can provide and maintain a natural environment purging odours and hot stale air and ventilating with cool fresh filtered air by means of a sophisticated control process which can be linked if required to existing BMS systems
