Evaporative cooling system keeps costs down
June 1st 2008 JS Air Cooling says manufacturers
can cool a 2,000m3 premises this
summer for 45p/hr, using its
environmentally friendly
evaporative cooling system.An
evaporative cooler can supply up to
10°C of cooling to an area of
2,000m3 using 7.5kW of energy
per/hr, providing a healthier and
more productive working
environment.
Also unlike refrigerant-based air
conditioning, an evaporative
cooling system requires active
ventilation of an area so doors and
windows can be left open.
A typical evaporative cooling
system consists of a large box type
unit, situated outside or on the roof
of a building, which sucks in air.As
the warm outside air is drawn in
through the walls of the box, it
passes through a wetted fibre
matrix and is cooled by the
evaporation of the moisture, before
being passed into the premises.The
cool air can either be ducted
around the building or released
through vents immediately after it
enters.As the only moving parts
are a pump and a fan, the energy
consumption is a fraction of
compressor-driven refrigerant air
conditioning.
As well as cooling a building, an
evaporative cooler brings in
filtered, fresh air and improves
humidity levels.With the
temperature gains from machinery,
JS Air Cooling says an investment in
evaporative cooling will be
beneficial all year round. More articles from JS Air Curtains: |
