A greener, more cost-effective way to cool

Evaporative cooling is an effective alternative to air conditioning that will keep your people, processes and products cool even on the hottest days of the year. Using simple technology, EcoCooling’s evaporative coolers are the ideal low-cost, low-maintenance solution that enables you to maintain internal temperatures below 25°C all year round.

 Effective and low cost

Typically, an EcoCooling unit will save you 90% of the operating cost and up to 50% of the capital spend, compared to refrigeration-based air conditioning. The solution is so efficient because it allows you to combine ‘free’ cooling with evaporative cooling. So, on the days where additional cooling isn’t required, you can take advantage of the system’s ventilation-only mode and benefit from maximum cost savings. On the days when evaporative cooling is enabled a standard unit will cost you less than 14p per hour to run, which is considerably less than the air conditioning alternative.

The green credentials of evaporative coolers are as impressive as the cost savings. With EcoCooling’s units, you can cool an area the size of a tennis court using half the energy of a domestic kettle. This means you don’t have to choose between having effective cooling and being environmentally-friendly.

Why is it so suited to industrial applications?

Evaporative cooling is more effective than air conditioning for most industrial applications, as it is designed for cooling large spaces. The fresh air technology means that open doors and windows have no adverse effect on performance and running costs. The versatility of this method enables you to blanket cool whole depots or spot cooling hot areas of a production line. All this makes evaporative cooling the ideal solution for keeping down temperatures industrial settings, which is something with which traditional air conditioning struggles.

Available in several different configurations, EcoCoolers are suitable for installation in any building. What’s more, the system can be fitted retrospectively or as part of a new build project, so it’s completely flexible. With over 3000 installations worldwide, EcoCooling is a trusted and experienced UK manufacturer.

The solution in action

When a leading manufacturer, Herman Miller was looking for a ventilation and cooling solution at its PortalMill production site, EcoCooling had the answer. 

The company needed a system that was suitable for the open nature of the facility and would keep areas prone to overheating cool whilst being cost effective and environmentally friendly. In its search for an effective solution, Herman Miller found UK manufacturer, EcoCooling. 

Nine EcoCooling units were installed at the site, giving Herman Miller complete zonal control of the air temperature and humidity levels in the assembly and manufacturing areas at all times. This was ideal for the factory setting which had hot spots that required more cooling than other areas.

With the need for an all-year-round solution, the EcoCooling units were installed as part of a wider air handling system that allowed for evaporative and fresh-air cooling during summer and the recirculation of fresh air in the winter months.

The cooling solution has improved the working environment for Herman Miller’s employees via zonal temperature control. It has also delivered energy savings for the company as the evaporative cooling solution is a completely natural, and therefore low-cost way, of producing refreshing cool air. 

With the running cost being just 10% of traditional air conditioning, the operational cost is around just £3.15 per hour for the site, which has provided Herman Miller with notable yearly savings.
