Evaporative Cooling
Evaporative coolers provide cool tempered air by converting hot dry air through a series of evaporative processes. This process works by pulling warm air through a series of dampened pads to draw out the air’s natural heat and inject a cooler air into your work space. While the concept has been used in residential applications like “swamp” coolers in the Southwest for decades, technology advances have made evaporative cooling a viable alternative to conventional cooling in commercial and industrial buildings in other areas of the country. Manufacturers have begun to offer two-stage (“indirect-direct”) evaporative cooling systems that offer greater cooling effectiveness, extending the geographic range where evaporative cooling can be used.
