Environmentally friendly air cooling
August 1st 2008 Warehouse owners can cool a 2,000m3 premises this summer for 45p/hr with an environmentally friendly evaporative cooling system from JS Air Cooling. An evaporative cooler can supply up to 10°C of cooling to an area of 2,000m3 using just 7.5kW of energy per hour.
Unlike some refrigerantbased 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.
The only moving parts are a pump and a fan so the energy consumption is a fraction of compressordriven refrigerant air conditioning.
An evaporative cooler brings in filtered, fresh air and improves humidity levels.
JS Air Cooling also provides mobile units that can cool an area up to 625m3.
The Carbon Trust is offering small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) four-year interest-free loans to encourage companies to invest in energy efficient systems with low carbon emissions, such as evaporative cooling. More articles from JS Air Curtains: |
