Art-Eco coolers for celebrations, receptions and weddings

The beauty of an outdoor reception

Many weddings, wedding lunches, dinners and receptions take place from spring to autumn, especially on weekends. In fact, during the hot season there are hundreds of beautiful outdoor venues all over Italy where it is particularly nice to celebrate such an important and meaningful day. Whether it is a simple Inn with a garden or an enchanting villa used for celebrations, tradition dictates that the bride and groom and their families select a pleasant venue with all the necessary facilities to hold wedding banquets and receptions, sometimes with many dozens of guests.

Last year, the Covid-19 pandemic completely brought the wedding and celebration sector to a standstill. This year, we are seeing a gradual recovery, which is becoming stronger and stronger with the approach of September, a month during which many weddings traditionally take place.

Having an open-air reception is certainly a winning idea from many points of view; large, airy outdoor spaces make it very pleasant to be together for a long time, as is the case in wedding banquets and other events where catering is involved.

However, the hot summer days and evenings sometimes make it very unpleasant to spend so many hours in formal attire, making a beautiful wedding party, well organised and in charming settings, less pleasant than desired. In this article we will discuss how Art-Eco wheeled coolers can solve heat issues and ensure a successful wedding reception, pleasant for all, even in hot and humid weather conditions.

The practicality of Art-Eco portable coolers

Evaporative adiabatic cooling is an environmentally friendly technology that is very cost-effective both in terms of performance and low energy consumption. These positive characteristics are a direct result of the physical principle behind the operation of adiabatic coolers, which unlike refrigerant gas air conditioners have a simple structure that is not invasive for the environment.

In particular, when cooling the air in an outdoor environment, as can be the case at wedding receptions, the use of portable evaporative coolers is often the best solution. Thanks to the operating principle of these machines, a mass of air from the outside is directed by a fan through a perforated honeycomb panel constantly soaked with water. In a completely natural way, the warm air gives off some of its energy and heat, and as it evaporates it becomes cooler, cleaner and more comfortable. The air is then released back into the environment, lowering the temperature around it.

This is a very simple system, which, as scholars have shown, was also used in various ways by some ancient populations, who, for example, placed water-soaked carpets or textiles in front of open windows and doors to cool the air passing through them.

Furthermore, the absence of refrigerant gas has numerous advantages over conventional air conditioners: first, the impact on nature is reduced because there is no need to produce, store and handle a chemical substance which if dispersed in the environment can cause considerable damage. Furthermore, the absence of a pump to compress the gas makes the evaporative adiabatic cooler much more cost-effective in terms of electricity consumption than other air-conditioning solutions.

The advantages of evaporative cooling are further enhanced, in case of wheeled machines, by versatility and ease of use. Depending on models, portable coolers can be used anywhere to cool areas of different sizes simply by connecting them to the power supply network. The water required for the operation of wheeled coolers comes from a large tank built into the machine; however, for many models, direct connection to the water mains is also possible, if preferred. In any case, the tanks of portable coolers are sized to ensure many hours of continuous operation without the need to top up.

Cooling of large outdoor areas

The possibility of having a pleasant cool air area in an open space during a hot summer day is certainly very attractive in many situations. Furthermore, this pleasant cooling effect can be achieved by simply turning on a portable cooler, which can also be controlled by remote control, so that the speed of operation can be changed without moving. Art-Eco sells and rents its industrial and commercial portable coolers for use in mechanical and crafts workshops, bar and restaurant outdoor areas, places of worship or entertainment and much more. Examples of use certainly include wedding venues where having cool areas makes the experience more pleasant for the guests.

For this reason, catering companies, wedding, reception and event organisers and even wedding party venue managers turn to Art-Eco with confidence for qualified technical advice on the potential offered by our evaporative adiabatic cooler models first, and then for the purchase or rental of our machines.
