Commercial Evaporative Air Coolers: Choosing a System

It is a cooling system designed for commercial spaces that uses evaporation in its cooling process. System design and capacity depend on climate, airflow, ventilation and building requirements.

Direct evaporative cooling is generally more effective in dry conditions and adds moisture to the airstream. A building services designer can assess whether indirect or hybrid approaches better fit the site.

Provide the floor plan, use and occupancy patterns, existing ventilation or HVAC, operating hours, water and power availability, and any noise or control requirements.

Some portable units may serve limited local needs, but they should not be assumed to meet facility cooling loads. Confirm intended application and capacity with the manufacturer or a qualified designer.
