When it comes to keeping industrial buildings cool, evaporative cooling systems are particularly effective. They use around 90% less energy than some traditional air conditioning systems, they improve the air quality of the working environment for your staff – the positives go on and on.
There are several misconceptions surrounding commercial evaporative cooling systems. Read on to find out what they are – and how much truth there is to them.
1. Evaporative cooling in the UK’s climate
The concern that evaporative cooling doesn’t work as well in the UK’s frequently wet and cold climate is very much incorrect. Commercial evaporative cooling is designed to keep your building comfortable when temperatures rise in the hot summer months.
Evaporative cooling functions most effectively when outside temperatures begin to increase – which, luckily, is just when it is most needed. When it’s cold and wet outside, it’s time to switch the heating on – not your evaporative cooling system.
2. Evaporative cooling in the rain
While it is true that the cooling effect of commercial evaporative cooling systems is impacted by wet weather – cold and rain are not the conditions when evaporative cooling systems are needed. Wet weather naturally cools your building down. Evaporative cooling comes into play when the outside temperature is soaring.
3. The cost of running evaporative cooling
Many people wonder: is it expensive to run evaporative cooling? The positive answer is: definitely not. In fact, compared to many other commercial cooling solutions, industrial evaporative cooling systems are very low cost.
Designed to be very energy efficient, evaporative cooling systems save business’s money on their energy bill – reducing their carbon footprint in the process.
Among the other benefits of commercial evaporative cooling, they also reduce the spread of viruses within your building space.
4. The cost of maintaining evaporative cooling
Commercial evaporative cooling is suited to a wide range of working environments – from factories and warehouses, to offices and garages. For an incredibly versatile commercial cooling solution, evaporative cooling is also remarkably simple to maintain.
Evaporative cooling is very reliable, and any problems that do arise are usually easy for a qualified engineer to fix. In fact, the overall lifetime running cost of a well-maintained evaporative cooling system is significantly less than many other cooling systems.
