EcoCooling evaporative cooling can be used as an alternative to air conditioning in most industrial buildings providing 90% energy savings at a fraction of the capital cost of a traditional air conditioning or ventilation system.
A carefully sized ventilation system is designed to maintain a constant flow of fresh air into the building. During warm periods evaporative cooling is used to cool the air before it enters the building.
A simple system of just one unit can provide up to 30kW of cooling from just 1kW of electricity and can cover an area of 250sqm or a 15m diameter circle in a typical manufacturing or logistics operation. Most systems are modular allowing the addition of units as and when required. The only service requirements are 240v electricity and a mains water supply.
EcoCooling evaporative coolers offer many Advantages over traditional Systems
They are safe, cost effective and require only simple maintenance. Their low power usage has little impact on the site maximum demand and can release power availability if it is used to replace refrigeration. Advanced control systems connect to any existing BMS system and can manage the environment and utilise heat recovery to provide heat in the winter months whilst providing a fresh clean environment all year round. There are no refrigerants and the installation cost can be up to a quarter of the cost of traditional systems. Installation in most cases is quick and entails minimum, if any, disruption to production. EcoCoolers can also provide air flow through the side or top, allowing installation to be flexible and cheaper when roof penetration is not an option.
Legionnaires disease and evaporative coolers
EcoCooling evaporative coolers are at the very lowest level of legionella risk and exceed the requirements of UK HSE regulations and controls. The use of wetted media instead of sprays avoids droplets, and since the water circulates at the wet bulb temperature of the air, evaporative cooler water never enters conditions for legionella growth. Other simple process controls such as automatic drainage contribute to a risk level comparable with a standard hot or cold water distribution system. Simple maintenance performed every 6 months maintains hygienic and safe operation.
Ecocooling now have over 1000 installations in the UK including Cummins Diesel, Net-a-Porter, RPC, Cott Beverages, Premier Foods and Borg Warner.
