EVAPORATIVE COOLING: THE COST EFFECTIVE COOLING TECHNOLOGY FOR INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SPACES S eeley International is the world leader in designing and manufacturing evaporative cooling products. Evaporative cooling is becoming the most efficient option when cooling large areas, especially industrial and commercial spaces. Air conditioning is not an option, because in warehouses or industrial plants, the capital and running costs would be extremely prohibitive. Most industries with high heat loads, such as printing, ceramics, glass, rubber or electronics, have no cooling system installed, and this impacts on the workers’ morale and productivity, as well as on their health. In all these examples, Evaporative Cooling could be the right solution. They do not use any sort of chemical refrigerants to cool the air, just a water pump to supply water to the wetted media where evaporation occurs and electrical power for the fan that then pushes the air inside the building. 36 PECM Issue 31 Evaporative air cooling uses between up to 87% less energy than conventional A/C; it brings in 100% fresh outside air and utilises water for cooling instead of synthetic chemical refrigerants. That all adds up to very responsible environmental and energy saving characteristics. It is important to remember that cooled air inside the building is not recirculated, so doors or windows must be left open for this air to escape, or extraction fans need to be installed. This can be a great solution to improve indoor air quality, in production areas where fumes and germs are involved. Evaporative air coolers blow inside the building 100% fresh air from outside and actually filter the incoming air, removing most airborne dust and pollen particles. The wet cooling pads trap mist of these particles, which are washed down into the sump by the circulating water.
