Choosing the Right Evaporative Cooling System for Your Business

Evaporative systems are a highly efficient and cost-effective way to cool industrial and commercial spaces. Unlike refrigerant systems that cool the air, evaporative designs use the natural evaporation process to reduce the temperature of the air.

Choosing the right evaporative cooling system will significantly impact the comfort and productivity of your employees, as well as the energy efficiency, sustainability and cost-effectiveness of your HVAC system.

That’s why it’s crucial to find a supplier like us who is experienced with including evaporative cooling in an HVAC system. We provide expert advice on the best system for your specific needs and install and maintain your system to ensure it operates efficiently. Read on to discover how to get the most out of your cooling system no matter how hot it gets.

Invest in Eco-Friendly Cooling Systems

In addition to reducing energy consumption and costs, evaporative cooling units can make a significant contribution to achieving the UK’s Net Zero 2050 goal. The UK has set a target to achieve Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, which means that businesses must find ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Evaporative cooling units offer a sustainable solution that can help businesses achieve this target.

Evaporative units offer a sustainable solution for businesses seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to achieving Net Zero 2050. By using a natural process of water evaporation to cool the air, these units can reduce energy consumption and costs while also improving indoor air quality. As businesses look to become more sustainable, evaporative cooling units offer a practical and cost-effective solution that can help them achieve their sustainability goals.

Factors We Consider When Choosing the Best System

Not all evaporative cooling units are created equal, and choosing the right system for your business needs is essential. Here are some key factors that guarantee we make the right choice:

1.      The Size and Layout of the Space to Be Cooled

The size and layout of your space will determine the size and capacity of the cooling system you need. It’s important to choose a powerful system to cool the entire space without oversizing, which can lead to inefficiency and higher operating costs.

2.      The Local Climate and Temperature Conditions

The local climate and temperature conditions will affect the effectiveness of your evaporative cooling system. In hot and dry climates, evaporative cooling systems work best, while in humid climates, they may not be as effective. It’s also important to remember that this doesn’t relate to the external environment of the surrounding area, but it is specific to the climate your daily operations create. For example, many industrial processes will generate dry heat within their buildings.

3.      The Specific Cooling Requirements of the Business

The specific cooling requirements of your business will depend on the type of industry, the equipment being used, and the comfort needs of your employees. Choosing a system that will maintain your business’s desired temperature and humidity levels is important.

4.      The Availability and Quality of Water for the System

Evaporative cooling systems require a constant supply of water to operate. When choosing a system, it’s important to consider the availability and quality of water in your area. Hard water should be avoided as it may cause mineral build-up in the system, reducing efficiency and lifespan.

5.      The Budget and Cost Considerations

The installation, operation, and maintenance costs should also be considered when choosing a system. While evaporative cooling systems are generally more cost-effective than traditional air conditioning systems, the initial installation cost can vary depending on the size and complexity of the system. The best way to answer this consideration is to talk with us directly, and we can discuss the situation concerning your business needs.

Why Evaporative Coolers Instead of Air Conditioners?

Evaporative Cooling is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective solution that introduces 100% fresh air and improves air quality by eliminating odours and pollutants. Evaporative Cooling delivers operational energy costs approximately 90% less than the equivalent rated refrigeration-based cooling system, achieving 35 kW of cooling for 1.5 kW of electricity consumption. Moreover, it is effective even when doors, windows, and roller shutters remain open, unlike air conditioning systems that operate in closed environments.

In contrast, air conditioners are more energy dependent and require harmful refrigerant gases. It is also less effective in ventilating and introducing fresh air into a building, which can result in the recirculation of stale air and the spread of pollutants and any airborne germs.

There are three types of evaporative coolers. Direct coolers pass warm air through wet pads to evaporate water and cool the air. Indirect coolers use a heat exchanger to cool the air without adding humidity. Hybrid systems combine evaporative cooling with traditional air conditioning to gain the benefits of both. You can learn more details about the differences between these in our associated blog discussing factory cooling solutions.
