In this article we take a look at the many reasons why evaporative cooling is proving such a winner for commercial premises. First, let’s take a look at where it all started – out there in the natural world.
Evaporative cooling goes back 1000s of years
Air conditioning only dates back to the early 1900s. But evaporative cooling has been happening perfectly naturally for millennia near rivers, waterfalls, streams, lakes, seas and oceans. It pre-dates humanity and makes the dinosaurs look like newcomers. As long as there’s been water and a breeze, there’s been evaporative cooling on our planet.
The phenomenon didn’t go unnoticed by our ancestors. The ancient Egyptians used a super-simple method to keep the wealthy cool: servants would stand next to large ceramic jars of water, fanning them to spread cooled air over their masters. They did much the same in other hot countries like India, the Middle East, and Mexico, sometimes building clever cooling systems into their homes and palaces.
These days we’ve harnessed the natural properties of evaporative cooling for commercial use, adding modern kit like pumps, valves, filters and controls to replace slaves with fans. But despite that, thanks to the sheer simplicity of the natural phenomenon, fundamental evaporative cooler design really hasn’t changed much. The tech simply harnesses something that happens anyway to make it work a lot more efficiently.
Now being used in a wide variety of different applications from fabric weaving to print works, gyms and data centres to bakeries and even crypto mining, highly effective, large-scale evaporative cooling systems are the name of the game. They’ve been fitted in millions of commercial premises across the world, and they’re making a big difference to business’s energy bills as well as to employee welfare and product quality.
No wonder the past few years have seen a boom in evaporative cooling. Here’s why it’s such a great idea.
