Evaporative coolers

Evaporative coolers provide an effective, low cost and environmentally friendly climate control solution for cooling large, open areas. These evaporative coolers decrease the air temperature by several degrees using the evaporation process to push warm air through a wet filter to cool and clean the air inside your space.

Why choose evaporative coolers?

An evaporative cooler, sometimes known as a swamp cooler, is a device that cools air by harnessing the natural process of evaporation. The Biocool and Master ranges are popular choices for commercial evaporative cooling units due to them being so cost and energy efficient. This efficiency makes evaporative cooling exceptionally suited to larger spaces that may cost much more to cool using a traditional air-conditioning unit.

Organisations that place a high priority on reducing their environmental impact will be drawn to the option of commercial evaporative coolers. They typically use just 10% of the energy used by a traditional air-conditioning unit.

This low energy consumption of course means a lower energy bill for businesses and could save you up to 80% on your current cooling costs, meaning your bottom line gets a boost.

One of the key benefits of evaporative cooling is the clean air the process generates. It renews indoor air quality, removing pollutants, odours and virus particles as it cools. It replaces stale air with 100% fresh air from the outside, helping to keep people safe, happy and productive.

An evaporative cooling unit also helps to regulate moisture levels, preventing rising humidity and keeping conditions comfortable.

As well as sustaining humidity levels, other benefits compared to traditional methods include:

  • Low investment cost
  • Works effectively in large facilities
  • Keeps air fresh
  • Low day-to-day operating costs

Evaporative coolers: Frequently Asked Questions

What is an evaporative cooler?

Evaporative coolers control temperatures by harnessing the natural process of evaporation to produce vast amounts of cool, clean air. This acts as an energy-efficient alternative to traditional air-conditioning in many facilities, including schools, warehouses and automotive factories.

How does an evaporative cooler work?

Unlike conventional air-conditioning, evaporative coolers produce large volumes of cool air using little more than the natural power of evaporation.

These types of systems work by first drawing in warm outside air, and forcing it through a damp membrane within the unit. As this air comes into contact with the damp pad, its heat is evaporated alongside some of the membrane’s moisture.

This process generates cool air, which is then pushed out of an evaporative cooler and circulated inside to help control temperatures efficiently and cost-effectively.

Are evaporative coolers energy-efficient?

Yes, evaporative coolers are exceptionally energy-efficient, typically using just 10% of the electricity consumed by a traditional air-conditioning unit.

What are the benefits of using an evaporative cooler?

As well as being a comparatively energy-efficient method of producing cool air, evaporative coolers are the unit of choice for keeping many facilities cool because they:

  • Are exceptionally economical, reducing cooling costs by as much as 80%

  • Produce large amounts of cool air, ideal for regulating large commercial spaces

  • Create comfortable environments, supplying clean air and controlling humidity

  • Operate well in open or closed settings, unlike traditional A/C

  • Avoid the use of refrigerants, making them more eco-friendly than A/C

Can an evaporative cooler be used in humid climates?

Although relative humidity can limit the cooling potential of evaporative cooling systems, our market-leading solutions have been specially engineered to work well in both dry and humid climates.

How often do I need to replace the pads in my evaporative cooler?

Depending on how frequently an evaporative cooler is used, the time between replacements can vary.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend changing filters approximately every 3 years if a system is used for 8 hours per day during summer. For more extensive use, filters may need to be replaced sooner.

Do evaporative coolers require regular maintenance?

Yes. In order to keep evaporative coolers operating efficiently and effectively throughout their life, it is important to conduct frequent maintenance. This might involve:

  • Routinely cleaning units to prevent blockages from causing leaks

  • Replacing filter pads every few years to maximise performance

  • Draining and covering systems during winter to reduce the risk of frost damage

  • Replacing water at the start of the hot season to prevent mineral build-up
