What is Evaporative Cooling
Evaporative cooling uses natural methods to cool the air. It works by using water and a fan as opposed to gases or heavy power usage that can be harmful to the environment. Not only is this better for the environment, but it is also cheaper to run.
Our eco cooling units utilise evaporative cooling processes to keep the air fresh and safe. Unlike air conditioning, which recirculates air, evaporative cooling brings in 100% fresh air from outside. This results in better airflow and cleaner indoor air, supporting healthier work environments.
How Evaporative Cooling Works
The concept behind evaporative cooling is simple. It uses the natural process of water turning into vapour to remove heat from the air.
This process works by cooling the air by passing it through wet pads. As the water evaporates, the air becomes cooler and fresher before it is blown into the building.
Here is how it works step-by-step:
- Warm air from outside is drawn into the cooler
- The air passes through wet cooling pads
- The water in the pads evaporates, removing the heat
- This results in cooler, fresher air being sent into the building
This process doesn’t need any harmful refrigerants. It also uses significantly less electricity than traditional air conditioning systems.
Evaporative Cooling for Healthy Work Environments
Good air quality is essential for a healthy workplace. Poor air can cause tiredness, headaches and breathing problems.
Here is how evaporative cooling makes a difference for healthier work environments:
- Improves Air Quality
Because the evaporative cooling brings in fresh air from outside, it helps remove stale air, smells and indoor pollutants. This makes breathing easier and improves overall well-being for staff.
- Reduces Dust and Allergens
Fresh, filtered air from an evaporative cooling system can help reduce indoor dust and airborne allergens. This is great for people who suffer from asthma or hay fever.
- Prevents Heat Stress
Workplaces can get very hot, especially during the summer months. This is particularly important in factories and warehouses. High temperatures can lead to heat stress and even fainting. Evaporative cooling keeps the temperatures safe, which helps protect the workers and maintain their productivity.
- Supports Mental and Physical Wellbeing
Cooler, fresher air helps workers feel more alert and comfortable. This can reduce sick days, prevent any long-term health damage and keep people focused and happy at work/
Benefits of Evaporative Cooling
As well as the benefits for the environment, workers and workplace, there are more advantages to using evaporative cooling units in your company.
Lower Energy Use and Lower Costs
One of the major benefits of evaporative cooling is that it uses much less energy than standard air conditioning.
This results in:
- Lower energy bills
- A smaller carbon footprint
- Progress towards your company’s sustainability goals
Ideal for Large and Open Spaces
Evaporative cooling works especially well in large spaces where traditional air conditioning can sometimes struggle.
This can include:
- Factories
- Warehouses
- Gyms
- Commercial Kitchens
- Schools and colleges
