Low cost cooling solution
August 1st 2006

According to JS Air Conditioners, evaporative cooling provides a solution for hot warehouses this summer, providing cooling at a lower cost than traditional air conditioning. The company can supply and install an evaporative cooling system to control the temperature in warehouses from 100m3 to over 50,000m3 for less than refrigerant-based air con, chiller-based air handling systems or even ventilation systems without active cooling.

On-going running costs are also said to be 70% less than regular air conditioning, as the only powered elements are a fan and water pump. This makes controlling the temperature in large warehouse environments a viable option, making them more pleasant to work in and therefore more productive.

The only drawback with evaporative cooling is that the reduction in temperature can only be around 10°C lower than the ambient outside temperature. However, with temperatures in the UK rarely going above 33°C, evaporative cooling is suited to our climate.
