Direct Evaporative Cooling
Direct Evaporative Cooling
A business with a large space to cool can count on the direct evaporative cooling system. They are the efficient way to cool...at 1/5 the cost of mechanical air conditioning. The innovative evaporative cooling media provides simple and efficient evaporative cooling using water, not refrigerants. Water sumps and cooling sections are solid stainless steel. Units are AMCA certified.
How Direct Evaporative Cooling Works
Whenever water is evaporated, heat is absorbed. Wet the back of your hand, then blow on it. The skin surface is immediately cooler. This demonstrates the basic principle of evaporative cooling. A direct evaporative cooling system works by using a fan to draw outside air through a cellulose or fiberglass media that has been saturated with water. Due to the internal geometry of this media, a turbulent mix of air and water is created which optimizes heat transfer. An air washing effect is also created which removes most dust and dirt from the air stream before the air flows into the work area providing a clean, cool environment.
