Evaporative cooling
27 January 2016
EcoCooling direct evaporative cooling can be used as an alternative to air conditioning in most industrial buildings and server rooms, and is said to provide 90% energy savings at a fraction of the capital cost of a traditional air conditioning or ventilation system.
EcoCoolers are safe, cost effective and require only simple maintenance. Advanced control systems connect to any existing BMS system. There are no refrigerants and the installation cost can be up to a quarter of the cost of traditional system.
The performance of an EcoCooler is dependent upon the temperature of the air and the relative humidity. In the UK the humidity is always low when the temperatures are high so we can achieve a drop in temperature of over 10°C on the hottest days, so operating temperatures below 23°C can be guaranteed .
EcoCooling’s modular products range from 15-60kW and can run on as little as1kW. Further increases in efficiency can be gained from using EC fan technology to drive the ventilation system.
EcoCooling now has more than 2500 industrial and 350 IT installations worldwide, including Cummins Diesel, Net-a-Porter, TK Maxx, Decathlon, RPC, Decathlon, Cambridge University and Experian; case studies are available on the website.
