Commercial & Industrial Evaporative Cooling Systems
An evaporative cooler is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water.
At the heart of industrial evaporative cooling systems is the evaporative cooler, a device that cools air through the evaporation of water. Commercial evaporative cooling maintenance and installation is available from the expert team at Inergy.
How Do Industrial Evaporative Cooling Systems Work?
Industrial evaporative coolers are often confused with industrial air conditioning systems due to their similar role, but they operate in significantly different ways. These systems differ from other air conditioning systems that use vapour compression or absorption refrigeration cycles.
The essential principle of industrial and commercial evaporative cooling is that the surrounding warm air is drawn into the machine, passing through a cool, damp pad. This process draws significant heat from the air before it is expelled, thereby noticeably reducing its temperature. The video below explains this process visually.
Using Commercial Evaporative Cooling Systems To Reduce Energy Consumption
A more detailed explanation is that these systems use the fact that water will absorb a relatively large amount of heat to evaporate (that is, it has a large enthalpy of vaporisation). The temperature of dry air can be dropped significantly through the phase transition of liquid water to water vapour (evaporation).
The cooling potential for evaporative cooling systems depends on the wet-bulb depression, the difference between dry-bulb temperature and wet-bulb temperature. Evaporative cooling can reduce energy consumption and total equipment for conditioning as an alternative to compressor-based cooling. Indirect evaporative cooling can still take advantage of the evaporative cooling process without increasing humidity.
For a closer look at this process consider our case study showcasing evaporative cooling for plastic manufacturers.
Benefits of Industrial Evaporative Cooling Systems
There are significant advantages to installing industrial evaporative coolers at your workplace.
Increased Energy Efficiency
Evaporative cooling is a highly energy-efficient solution for cooling your workplace. The average evaporative cooling system will draw above 50% less electricity than alternative cooling solutions whilst providing the same service. This is due to not needing vapour compression or the refrigerant chemicals usually required for cooling operations.
Eco-Friendly Choice
An evaporative cooling system is a non-polluting, eco-friendly technology that can significantly assist any business’s desire to become more sustainable. Whilst alternate cooling solutions require access to vent accumulated heat outside, evaporative coolers can operate effectively in any environment without creating pollutant waste.
Easy Evaporative Cooling Maintenance
The low requirements for evaporative cooling maintenance make them dependable for workplace cooling. Once installed, they can be relied upon to operate consistently with little need for maintenance checks, thanks to the reduced number of components and simplified designs available.
