Climate control has been a problem that has been solved in different ways by humans. Different regions of the world have different climates and some climate conditions could be very harsh. Places that experience extreme weather take measures to protect themselves from the weather. In places of extreme cold, especially mountainous regions, one such way they produce some heat and efficiently distribute it is by having the kitchen in the middle of the house. In very arid regions, rooms were cooled by hanging wet mats in front of windows and tent openings. As hot hair blows through the mats, the water blown into the room helps to reduce the temperature of the room or tent to a reasonable temperature. This way of cooling is a basic form of evaporative cooling.
What is Evaporative Cooling?
Evaporative cooling is the use of evaporated water to cool air. It is different from other forms of air conditioning which make use of vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycles. It exploits the ability of water to absorb large amounts of heat in order to evaporate. Cooling of air using evaporative cooling uses less amount of energy than refrigeration. With a global rise is temperature, there is also an increased demand in cooling. Due to the rise in temperature being partly as a result of our continual dependence on carbon, there is the need to turn to cooling solutions that consume lesser energy, thereby reducing our carbon footprint. Conventional air conditioning leaves a very huge carbon footprint as it consumes a lot of energy. On hot days, the efficiency of evaporative cooling systems increases because the water can evaporate much more easily. However, the air conditioning system consumes more energy to keep up with the temperature increase. Therefore, it can be said that it:
- Is more sustainable
- is cost effective
- is healthier
Just like air conditioning is not limited to the home, evaporative cooling can be used in industries also. Industries like the food insutry, metal industry can take advantage of evaporative cooling. Humans and machines work better in a well balance climate. Industrial evaporative cooling provides industries with a perfect solution to enable a safe, comfortable and healthy enviroment for people and machine.
To take advantage of the benefits, Oxycom provides you with a range of products to meet your needs. Oxycom’s two stage adiabatic cooling ensure that even after cooling the environment, excess humidity is not introduced into the air. This works by first removing heat from the air indirectly using cold water circulation in an air exchanger and then cooling the air through an evaporative media.
