Start thinking about your summer cooling system now
It may seem strange, in these weeks when the cold weather is getting colder, to think of an Art-Eco cooling system, for example for the warehouses of a manufacturing company or a logistics company: but it is precisely at this time that starting to plan such a type of system can be useful.
Thinking back to the difficulties experienced during the past summer months, one can now realise the importance of having a microclimate in the workplace for the coming hot season that will enable everyone to work better and preserve their health.
The link between indoor air quality, often referred to by the acronym IAQ (indoor air quality), and the health of those who spend many hours inside such premises, has been explored in many academic and clinical studies. Thanks to the amount of data collected in different contexts, such as schools, offices, workshops, homes and venues, and their interpretation by experts in the field, a specific pathology called SBS, or sick building syndrome, has even been identified. This syndrome is said to be characterised by a number of different symptoms, such as fatigue, respiratory problems, aggravation of heart disease, nausea and difficulty in concentrating, all directly attributable to being in a “sick” enclosed environment and which decrease, until they disappear altogether, when the individual leaves.
This is why the time has come to invest in the health of workers with an evaporative cooling system, which can reduce sick leave and increase the productivity and quality of the work of all workers in the company.

What is evaporative adiabatic cooling?
Let us now see how a cooling system works. We will understand why it is very well suited to industrial settings, but also how it can make a major contribution to improving air quality in the workplace.
The operating principle of an evaporative adiabatic cooler can be outlined in a few simple steps:
- thanks to a fan, a certain flow of air from outside is drawn into the machine;
- the air is then forced through a honeycombed panel, called a pad or evaporator pack, soaked with fresh water;
- therefore, much of the heat of the warm air from the outside is transferred to the water, and if the air itself is too dry, it will acquire the right amount of moisture;
- in general, the flow of cooled air then enters the room from the top, moving downwards due to being heavier than the existing hot air which, on the other hand, naturally leaves the environment through the open windows and doors.
However, in an industrial shed or warehouse, it is for example not enough to only install one machine to ensure evaporative adiabatic cooling.The placement of the various units in the space to be cooled, as well as their sizing in terms of the air flow to be processed, must be carefully assessed. For this reason, at Art-Eco we devote time, care and attention to the design of installations.

The advantages of evaporative coolers for the industry
As we have seen, the operating principle of Art-Eco evaporative adiabatic coolers is simple and uses natural processes. Now, however, let us take a closer look at the advantages of choosing this solution for industrial cooling.
The advantages of an evaporative adiabatic cooler are many, both from the point of view of protecting the environment and of preserving the good health of workers:
- energy consumption is reduced when compared to traditional air conditioners. This not only saves money, but also has less impact on the environment;
- the air cooled with these systems has a correct temperature to humidity balance, promoting the well-being of workers;
- as operation requires open doors and windows, the coolers ensure continuous air change, which counteracts the proliferation of viruses and bacteria;
- they are therefore very useful for cooling working environments where, for various reasons, doors and windows cannot be kept closed;
- Installation and running costs are very competitive.
Against these positive features of evaporative adiabatic coolers, the only real critical issues regarding these systems are design and maintenance. For this reason, it is of fundamental importance to turn to experts for the sizing and positioning of the machines inside the area to be cooled. The same experts will then be able to manage ordinary and extraordinary maintenance.
Evaporative adiabatic coolers operate with open doors and windows, ensuring comfortable temperatures and air changes
From this point of view, when designing an industrial cooling system, Art-Eco will ensure constant dialogue with the customer, so that all the specific requirements can be met. Art-Eco also performs routine maintenance of the systems every year in preparation for their winter shutdown and is always available for any other work that may be necessary.
Don’t wait until the last minute to start planning the cooling system for your company. Only by taking advantage of the winter months can you enjoy all the benefits of Art-Eco coolers as soon as the warm season returns.
