What is an evaporative cooler and how does it work?
An evaporative cooler is a cooling unit that uses the natural principle of water evaporation to lower the air temperature. The unit draws in warm ambient air and passes it through wet pads; as the water evaporates, heat is absorbed and the resulting air can be between 6 and 15 °C cooler than the outside air, around 10 °C under normal conditions according to the BC range data sheet.
Unlike traditional air conditioning, an evaporative cooler uses no refrigerant gases or compressors, which makes it a greener, quieter option with far lower running costs. It also constantly renews the air instead of recirculating it, improving the quality of the working environment.
Which spaces is an industrial evaporative cooler suitable for?
Industrial evaporative coolers are specially designed for large-volume spaces where conventional air conditioning is not viable or is too expensive: industrial and production buildings, mechanical and body repair workshops, warehouses and logistics centres, factories and processing plants, sports facilities and halls, outdoor events and hospitality terraces, and greenhouses and farms.
They are particularly effective in hot, dry climates, making them ideal for much of Spain, especially inland and in the south of the peninsula.
Advantages over traditional air conditioning
Choosing a Blizzcool industrial evaporative cooler brings a number of very tangible operational and financial benefits. Consumption can be up to 80% lower than an air conditioning system of equivalent capacity. Portable models require no building work or drain connection, so installation is immediate. Because they always work with outside air, they eliminate the stuffy atmosphere typical of industrial spaces, and since they use no refrigerant gases, their environmental impact is zero. Finally, with no compressor or gas, maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the pads.
How much does an industrial evaporative cooler cost?
The price of an industrial evaporative cooler varies according to the unit’s power, airflow and features. At Blizzcool you will find models for areas from 200 m² up to 395 m² with a single unit, at prices to suit every need. If you are unsure which model best suits your space, the Blizzcool team will advise you with no obligation so you can make the best decision before investing.
