Evaporative Cooling: A Smart, Green and Cost-Effective Way to Prevent Overheating in Factories
04 February 2025
WITH RISING temperatures, overheating is a growing challenge for UK factories, affecting worker comfort, productivity, and equipment performance.

While air conditioning is an option, its high installation and running costs make it impractical for large spaces. Evaporative cooling offers a cost-effective alternative, delivering reliable cooling at a fraction of the cost.
Modular, Targeted Cooling Without Refrigerants
Evaporative cooling uses water evaporation to cool air before it enters a building, keeping supply air temperatures below 25°C, even on the hottest days. A single EcoCooling unit can cool a 250 sim area or spot cool problem zones at an operating cost of just 16p per hour in electricity and 1p in water—offering over 90% energy savings compared to traditional systems.
A Practical, Low-Cost Solution
EcoCooling’s modular design allows units to be placed where cooling is needed most, making them a flexible and affordable option for factories. Installation costs are also significantly lower than refrigeration-based systems. Based in Suffolk, EcoCooling supplies and maintains its systems through a UK-wide network of installers, providing an efficient, scalable cooling solution for modern factories looking to mitigate overheating risks.
