FACILITIES MANAGEMENT A TRULY FRESH APPROACH ECOCOOLING HOW EVAPORATIVE COOLING FROM ECOCOOLING CAN SAVE POUNDS AS WELL AS THE PLANET Evaporative cooling is fast becoming the only viable option for the protection of equipment and comfort of occupants in contemporary working and living spaces. Data centres, gyms, warehouses and factories all require particular cooling needs. Particularly spaces with mezzanine floors and/or high levels of insulation. Pioneers in efficient cooling technologies - EcoCooling, use direct evaporative cooling in their products and systems to deliver 100% fresh air, at far lower costs than refrigerated cooling methods. An EcoCooling system uses up to 90% less energy and runs at less than 10% in comparison to refrigerated air con. The systems are simple and safe for operators. Installation is streamlined, and lead times are quick with stock and spares on site as part of a UK-wide installation network. Tailored client solutions only require single phase AC supplies and can be retrofit or setup as part of a new build. All of this is available with low maintenance, high reliability cooling systems and tailored solutions for client needs; whatever the scale, age or purpose of the space. Data centres, factories, warehouses, gyms and leisure complexes have all reaped the benefits of EcoCoolers. Typical ventilation systems of the past are unable to maintain internal temperatures below 25°C during prolonged warm periods and refrigeration-based systems can be expensive to operate, whilst requiring frequent maintenance - not to mention the inherent pollutants they release into the atmosphere. Evaporative cooling, which can produce air consistently below 22°C in the UK climate, provides a solution which consumes only a fraction of the electricity, providing a typical ROI after just three years and pushing EcoCooling towards their goal of saving the country 1% on its total energy bill. That’s equivalent to shutting down a power station! The evaporation process removes heat without the need for refrigeration and units can produce a large continuous stream of comfortably cool, clean, fresh air. If you 104 PECM Issue 35 need to cool small areas within a large space, ‘spot cooling’ (through evaporation) gives you the only viable option with high- velocity air that can be directed to a specific area, irrespective of the surrounding conditioning; something impossible to achieve with traditional Air Conditioning. Efficiency through simplicity is the core principal of evaporative cooling. EcoCooling carry this notion through every area of their complimentary design advice service. Capitalising on their vast industry experience, they work closely with consultants and end-user clients to optimise cooling technology for a modern world and apply progressive, innovative solutions to provide clean growth for a growing economy. The EcoCooler is the only evaporative cooler designed specifically for the UK and European industrial and commercial market. Having been operational for over 15 years EcoCooling have more than 4500 installations with a growing roster of different applications with clients as diverse as BT, TK Maxx, Cummins Diesel and Net-a-porter. EcoCooling pride themselves on their service to clients and are proud to be a family-run, UK-based company at the forefront of evaporative cooling technology.
