If your business operates from a warehouse or any other large space, an evaporative cooling system could be the cooling solution for you. This system has many benefits, both for your business and the environment – so it’s becoming a popular alternative to some traditional air conditioning systems.
What is evaporative cooling?
A commercial evaporative cooling system works by using water as a refrigerant instead of harmful chemicals and substances. The system draws fresh air from outside and passes the air through a water-saturated medium. This causes evaporation, which in turn causes the air to cool rapidly. This cool air is then distributed throughout your building, keeping internal temperatures comfortable even in hot weather. The cool air can be circulated around your warehouse with fans.
What are the benefits of evaporative cooling?
1. Energy efficient
Evaporative cooling systems use around 90% less energy than many traditional, power hungry air conditioning systems. Easier to install and super-efficient once it’s up and running, evaporative cooling will save your business money on its energy bill.
Better efficiency also means better for the environment – so evaporative cooling is a fantastic cooling solution for businesses looking to reduce their carbon emissions too.
2. Improved air quality
By drawing in fresh air from outside, rather than continually recirculating the same stale air around a building, commercial evaporative cooling systems significantly improve the internal air quality of your business.
This is hugely beneficial for those with allergies or respiratory issues. In a busy workplace with a large workforce, it also reduces the spread of viruses.
3. Keep doors and windows open
A big advantage of evaporative cooling systems is that they maintain their efficiency even when doors and windows are left open, as they are constantly drawing in fresh air from outside. If you operate from a large warehouse, you can keep large bay doors open for loading and unloading without fear of all the cool air escaping your building on hot days. Keeping windows open also prevents buildings from getting stuffy in warmer weather.
4. Cheaper to maintain
Evaporative cooling has far fewer moving parts to go wrong than many other traditional cooling systems, meaning maintenance is simpler and cheaper.
Evaporative cooling units also have a long lifespan. Regular maintenance from heating and cooling professionals, like us, will be more than enough to keep on top of any issues and keep the system running efficiently.
