Our frequently asked questions answer the most common questions.

1How does evaporative cooling work?

Ever wondered why you feel cooler when you step out of the pool on holiday? You feel cooler because as hot air blows across the water on your skin, it causes some of the water to evaporate and absorb the heat. The air is cooled by this evaporation process and therefore cools you down.

Evaporative coolers work the same way. Hot air enters the cooling unit where it is filtered and cooled as it passes through specially designed moistened Chillcel® pads. A fan then blows this cooled air throughout the space.

2How can I reduce the usage of a conventional AC system?

To make sure your air conditioning system operates less often, set the thermostat to a higher temperature. For every degree you raise your thermostat above 21 degrees (up to 26), you will save 8% of your energy costs in summer months. Additionally, keep the doors and windows sealed while the air conditioner is operational. By trapping the cool air and ensuring it remains in your space for longer, your system won’t need to work as hard.

3Can ventilation help reduce the spread of Coronavirus?

In poorly ventilated rooms and workplaces the amount of virus in the air can build up, increasing the risk of spreading COVID-19, especially if there are lots of infected people in the room. The virus can also remain in the air after an infected person has left.

Bringing fresh air into a room and removing older stale air that contains virus particles reduces the chance of spreading COVID-19. The more fresh air that is brought inside, the quicker any airborne virus will be removed from the room.

4Is warm air heating suitable for large buildings?

Warm air heating remains the optimal solution when it comes to heating large buildings. Considering energy costs, capital investment and comfort, heating of large building such as warehouses, garages, sports centres, etc., the choice is regularly the warm air.

There are several condensing heaters on the market currently which have a high efficiency of typically over 100%. This coupled with smart control, stepless modulating burners and EC fan technology can provide savings of approx. 15% compared to standard heaters.
