Evaporative Cooling
HOW WE CAN HELP
Industrial Evaporative Cooling Solutions
Evaporative cooling provides an energy-efficient way to reduce temperatures in large industrial and commercial spaces where traditional air conditioning is often impractical.
Vent-Tech designs and installs evaporative cooling systems that work alongside your local exhaust ventilation (LEV), helping businesses manage heat loads while maintaining good air quality and airflow across the workspace.

Evaporative Cooling vs Air Conditioning |
Why Is it Important for Your LEV Systems?
Evaporative cooling is the low-cost, environmentally friendly alternative to costly air conditioning. It works very differently from regular air conditioning. As water evaporates, energy is lost from the air, reducing the temperature.
Unlike air conditioning systems that use recirculated air, evaporative cooling systems circulate cool, fresh air through a building and force out stale hot air.
Evaporative cooling works by drawing a constant flow of fresh air over water-saturated pads. As the water evaporates from the pads, it removes the heat from the air. Not only does this act as a chiller, but it also filters dust and pollen from the air, ensuring a breath-easy atmosphere.
This is the same natural process that cools the air after rainfall or when water evaporates from skin.
In facilities with high-powered LEV systems, large volumes of air are constantly extracted to remove contaminants from the workspace. Evaporative cooling systems can provide the essential make-up air, replacing the extracted air with fresh, cooled air.
This helps maintain balanced airflow throughout the building, prevents negative pressure zones, and allows extraction hoods to continue capturing contaminants effectively.
Evaporative Cooler Systems for Industrial and Commercial Spaces
Our evaporative cooler systems feature filter pads that are kept saturated with water. An axial fan draws air through the pads, and this air is then cooled and pumped into a room via an air distribution system.
The air is cooled as it loses the heat required to evaporate the water, then passed through an insect screen, ensuring that insects do not enter the cooled room. Only pure water is evaporated from the pads, and the water is drained on a regular basis to stop salts from accumulating.
Evaporative cooler systems also deliver high volumes of fresh air, helping prevent the stale conditions often associated with sealed mechanical cooling systems.
Benefits
Why Choose Vent-Tech For Your Evaporative Cooling Needs
Fresh air ventilation
Systems continuously introduce fresh air into the building rather than recirculating the same air.
Lower costs
Large areas can be cooled without the extensive ductwork and refrigeration equipment associated with air conditioning.
This helps save money upfront with reduced installation costs compared to many air-conditioning units in industrial spaces.
Industrial businesses and commercial spaces can save up to an average of 90% on the running costs of air conditioning units.
Improved worker comfort
By reducing temperatures and increasing air movement, evaporative coolers help create a more comfortable working environment.
Reduced carbon footprint
Because the systems rely primarily on water and airflow, they use far less electricity and do not rely on refrigerant gases. Evaporative cooling systems do not contain CFCs, making them a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice.
Easy-to-use and Efficient
Evaporative cooling solutions can be used with roller shutter doors and open windows, making them much easier to use compared to industrial air conditioning units.
With spot-cooling capabilities, evaporative cooling is energy efficient and provides precise cooling.

Industries That Can Use Evaporative Cooling
Evaporative cooling is particularly effective in large, open spaces with good air movement, where traditional cooling systems struggle to maintain comfortable temperatures.
In high-performing environments and industries, evaporative cooling provides general temperature control and worker comfort, while LEV systems are responsible for capturing fumes and hazardous substances at the source.
Some of the industries that can use evaporative cooling are:
- Warehouses
- Distribution centres
- Food production facilities
- Commercial kitchens and bakeries
- Metalworking and fabrication workshops
- Printing facilities
- Assembly and packaging areas
In these environments, evaporative cooling systems work best when integrated into a broader LEV system, ensuring that warm air is effectively displaced and removed from the building.
servicing
Ensure your Evaporative Cooling system continues to work safely and effectively with a planned maintenance schedule.
Regular maintenance of our Evaporative Cooler systems is essential. This is because the systems need to be regularly serviced to eliminate the risk of a Legionella outbreak. By law, companies also need to complete a legionella risk assessment (ACOP). We complete this assessment for you as part of the service.
Our specially trained engineers at Vent-Tech can service our evaporative cooling systems or those installed by other companies. So please get in touch to see how we can help your company stay cool!
What Does Vent Tech’s Regular Evaporative Cooling Servicing Do?
- End-of-season service: Helps isolate the water supply to prevent freezing and sets the system to run in ventilation mode only
- Pre-season service (Typically in March): Resetting and preparing the system for the warmer months ahead.
- Ensure your system is working correctly and effectively
- Eliminate risk of Legionella
- Prevent the build-up of algae, scale or any other unwanted substances
- Identify when pads need replacing and carry out the replacement
- Pre-empt any issues with the system
