A cooling system instead of the usual air conditioner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having a cool working environment<\/strong> is a goal that every entrepreneur sets for himself, knowing full well that the health<\/strong> of the employees and the productivity<\/strong> of the company improve significantly if the temperature <\/strong>of the workplace<\/strong> is under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technical solutions to achieve this, as we all know, all stem from the use of two different physical principles: evaporative adiabatic cooling <\/strong>and refrigeration cycle cooling<\/strong>. Although evaporative coolers are sometimes referred to as evaporative air conditioners<\/strong> and evaporative climate control systems<\/strong>, it is necessary to be clear and avoid gross technical errors, which also demonstrate a lack of knowledge on the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we will explain in this article, adiabatic coolers<\/strong> are completely different from traditional air conditioners<\/strong> and climate control systems<\/strong>, as they are based on an entirely different operating principle. Art-Eco <\/strong>deals with evaporative adiabatic cooling<\/strong>. We know that in order to give to our customers the correct information on the suitability of these systems, especially for industrial sheds<\/strong> and warehouses<\/strong>, we need to explain the differences between an evaporative cooler<\/strong> and an air conditioner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The operation of evaporative adiabatic coolers and air conditioners<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In an evaporative adiabatic cooler<\/strong>, the air is drawn completely from the outside environment and thanks to the action of a fan<\/strong> is pushed through honeycomb<\/strong> panels<\/strong> over which water<\/strong> flows. In this way, the outside air<\/strong> naturally gives up some of its heat to the water, and its temperature decreases by about 7-10\u00b0C<\/strong>, after which it enters the room from above and descends towards the ground due to having a greater density than warm air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The air cooler<\/strong> operating on the basis of this principle must operate with the windows open, which also spontaneously ensures a constant air change<\/strong>, with beneficial effects on both the reduction of viruses and bacteria<\/strong> in the working environment’s microclimate and the elimination of processing odours and dust. On the other hand, an air conditioner<\/strong> relies on the cooling action of a refrigerant gas<\/strong> contained in a closed circuit<\/strong> and circulated by a pump<\/strong>. The air is cooled due to contact with a coil<\/strong> containing the refrigerant gas<\/strong>. Due to this process, it loses much of its natural moisture, becoming cold<\/strong> and dry<\/strong>, with no air change<\/strong> with the outside. In order to work efficiently, an air conditioner<\/strong> must operate in an environment with closed doors and windows<\/strong>. This leads to the possibility of accumulation of pathogens<\/strong> or harmful substances<\/strong> in the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why choose an evaporative air cooler?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After having briefly clarified the difference between an air conditioner and a cooler<\/strong>, we will now discuss what advantages the choice of a cooling system<\/strong> brings to an industrial setting. We at Art-Eco<\/strong> believe that although evaporative adiabatic cooling<\/strong> is a well performing solution for many different types of environments, our systems can give the best results precisely in severe and stressful environments, such as industrial sheds<\/strong> and warehouses<\/strong>. Let us see why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A first reason is functional and relates to the physical principle of operation of evaporative coolers<\/strong>. For an environment to be air-conditioned in the traditional way, it needs to be closed, which is often not feasible in production sheds<\/strong> and logistic facilities<\/strong>, which for practical reasons must be open to the outside. Moreover, without the air change<\/strong> ensured by open windows, working conditions <\/strong>in many production departments soon become unbearable, due to the presence of unpleasantodours<\/strong> and the accumulation of harmfulsubstances<\/strong> and pathogens <\/strong>that can cause at the very least asthma<\/strong> and allergies<\/strong>, as well as increase the incidence of diseases such as Covid-19 <\/strong>or seasonal flu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In these cases, the idea of controlling the temperature in industrial shedsand warehouses<\/strong> must be abandoned… at least until we learn about the advantages of evaporative adiabatic cooling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Operating only with air and water, without gas, the cooling process becomes environmentally friendly and requires less energy<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Save money and protect the environment with an air cooler<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most interesting features of our systems is that, compared to an air-conditioning system<\/strong>, the installation<\/strong> investment<\/strong> and the operating<\/strong> and maintenance<\/strong> costs<\/strong> of a cooling system <\/strong>are significantly lower – we are talking about a 25%<\/strong> saving<\/strong> on installation costs<\/strong> -. The reason for this advantage is simple: we are faced with a much simpler system, without the burden of managing a gas<\/strong> (and preventing its escape to the outside world), with a fan<\/strong> that consumes much less than the refrigeration cycle pump<\/strong>, and without the need to build and maintain a closed circuit<\/strong> for the refrigerant fluid and to replace air filters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will therefore have two advantages: one of a strictly economic<\/strong> nature and the other of an environmental<\/strong> nature, result of both lower energy<\/strong> consumption<\/strong> and the absence of a gas whose production and disposal negatively affects the ecosystem<\/strong>. The ever-increasing push towards the Green Economy<\/strong>, with the consequent subsidies for those who make eco-sustainable<\/strong> choices, can only lead, in this sector, to a preference for cooling systems<\/strong> over other forms of temperature management in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A further positive feature of evaporative coolers<\/strong> when compared to air conditioning<\/strong> systems is the fact that the fresh air<\/strong> produced by the system is not as dry as that coming out of a conventional air conditioner. This means that, in addition to a greater sense of well-being within the workplace, when leaving the cooled environment<\/strong> there will be no sensation of sudden heat<\/strong> typical of leaving air-conditioned premises and immediate and unpleasant increase in body perspiration. We hope that these short technical explanations are useful in offering a broad overview of the difference between air conditioners <\/strong>and coolers<\/strong>. We invite you to contact us for further details and for the evaluation of a tailor-made<\/strong>, turnkey system<\/strong> suited to your specific needs.
