Here is what evaporative cooling is and what its main advantages are
Summer is one of the best times of the year to enjoy the weather and engage in lots of outdoor activities. However, when the heat becomes unbearable, it makes it a challenge to do anything, especially when it comes to work. Thus, cooling large industrial spaces and outdoor areas becomes a problem to which there seems to be no solution, except by spending a fortune (and without getting great results).
Thanks to evaporative cooling, you can achieve very localised cooling and comfort zones in spaces of any size, even with open windows or in outdoor spaces, while spending little and without wasting energy.
Let’s see together, what evaporative cooling is and what its many advantages are.
How evaporative cooling works
Evaporative cooling works thanks to the natural phenomenon of evaporation. The hot air comes into contact with a water-soaked cellulose panel, which retains the heat and evaporates, releasing a flow of cool air.
This allows you to energy consumption to be drastically reduced, using a natural process and without wasting energy. In addition, our evaporative coolers are the first to be equipped with an antibacterial UV device to filter and sanitise the air.
Environments that are always cool, even outdoors.
Try to imagine that you are standing in front of a waterfall: you are breathing deeply and feel a pleasant sensation of well-being.
The concept is very similar and works quite well to explain what evaporative cooling is. And, just like a waterfall under the stars, this type of system can effectively cool open-air rooms while consuming very little energy. This is why it is widely used in patios, verandas and terraces; wherever there is a need to bring some relief from the summer heat continuously, even for many hours.
Moreover, precisely because of these characteristics, evaporative cooling can also be used effectively to cool industrial spaces, warehouses and large rooms – even with open windows – creating comfort zones during the hottest days.
Here are the main advantages of evaporative cooling:
- These types of systems are known for their efficiency, because the cooling is immediate and localised, without wasting energy.
- Evaporative cooling is sustainable and environmentally friendly because it takes advantage of a natural phenomenon, and the energy used is very low.
- Furthermore, evaporative cooling saves you money, because it has no system costs, and does not require much maintenance, unlike conventional systems.
The advantages of Star Progetti evaporative coolers
At Star Progetti, we know exactly what an evaporative cooler is. We introduced our first models to the market in 2001, and we were the first to fit our coolers with a UV device capable of sterilising the water, preventing the formation of dangerous bacteria and mould.
Here are some of the advantages of Star Progetti evaporative coolers:
- Perceived temperature reduced by up to 7°C
- No invasive installations and easy handling
- They are safe for our health, they filter and sanitise the air and do not release pollutants
- Guaranteed efficiency with very low energy consumption, like a light bulb
