A guide to help you design the most effective air-cooling solution for your factory- Evaporative Air Cooling
Energy efficiency is essential for all industrial sectors to achieve their business goals. By reducing energy costs and improving resource efficiency, manufacturing companies can enhance their competitive advantage. One effective solution for improving energy efficiency is the use of evaporative air cooling systems, which provide sustainable cooling while lowering energy consumption.
Globally, industries are adopting efficient energy management practices as part of their sustainability efforts, driven by the need to protect the environment and meet stricter regulations. Integrating evaporative air cooling into factory operations presents a significant opportunity for long-term growth, expansion, and success for manufacturing firms.
THE CHALLENGE OF RISING ENERGY CONSUMPTION
The effects of climate change on human wellbeing, health, and safety are among the significant challenges facing contemporary industrial society. Companies are under increasing regulatory and financial pressure due to high energy consumption.
According to one estimate, energy costs can account for up to 10 percent of total manufacturing costs. In industries that rely heavily on energy, the figure can even reach 40 percent.
The electricity consumed by different space cooling systems in buildings worldwide today is close to 20 per cent. If energy efficiency issues are not resolved in a timely manner, space cooling energy consumption will more than treble by 2050.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF INDUSTRIAL EVAPORATIVE AIR COOLING IS A HIGH-PRIORITY AREA
In addition to increasing emissions, the growing demand for space cooling places tremendous stress on the energy infrastructure of many industries. However, it is feasible to use energy efficiency innovation to create genuine value addition across the entire supply chain.
With the intelligent selection of the right technologies and solutions, factory owners may make substantial savings. Maintaining an optimum indoor environmental quality with highly efficient energy systems is crucial for maintaining a healthy and comfortable environment in factories and buildings. In sectors with high cooling demand, deploying alternative and improved cooling technologies with low electricity use has become a high priority for decision-makers.
EVAPORATIVE AIR COOLING: A SMART INNOVATION USING MOTHER NATURE’S PRINCIPLES
Water has a unique characteristic that makes evaporative coolers work: it can absorb a lot of heat. Dry air’s temperature decreases as liquid transforms into vapor. We all have a similar process in our bodies that causes us to sweat, which aids body cooling during hot weather.
A significant quantity of heat is transported from the air to the water during the evaporative cooling process. The evaporative cooler‘s constant airflow removes dust, smoke, odor, and other forms of air pollution. This process aids in pushing hot stale air out and replacing it with cool fresh air.
There are three different types of evaporative coolers: (1) Direct evaporative coolers, where the working fluids (water and air) are in direct contact; (2) Indirect evaporative coolers, where the working fluids are separated by a surface or plate; and (3) Systems that combine direct and indirect evaporative coolers as well as other cooling cycles.
HOW EVAPORATIVE AIR-COOLING TECHNOLOGY ENSURES MAXIMUMRETURNONINVESTMENT (ROI)
When an evaporative air cooler draws air from ambient surroundings, it brings 100 percent fresh air indoors. The impact of the entire evaporative cooling process is that the quality of the air inside the building remains high, and the cooling of indoor areas is achieved with minimum power consumption. The health of all company assets like equipment and machines is enhanced since dust, and other foreign particles are removed during evaporative airflow.
With very few components, repair and maintenance costs are negligible. The average costs of fabrication and installation are significantly low. Thus, with its low energy consumption, great cooling efficiency, environmentally friendly features, and affordable maintenance costs, evaporative air coolers are designed to maximize return on investment (ROI). In addition, the boost in enthusiasm and productivity of workers has a favorable impact on the quality of operations leading to higher profitability of the enterprise.
CHOOSE WORLD’S TOP PERFORMING ARTIC EVAPORATIVE AIR COOLERS
ARCTIC evaporative air cooling technology smartly leverage mother nature’s principles to provide cool refreshing air. Our factory cooling experts help our customers create the right combination of direct, indirect, and spot (portable) evaporative coolers as per specific factory layouts to maximize air cooling with minimum power consumption.
The ARCTIC Direct Evaporative Cooler is designed with a durable, rust-proof metal body, making it ideal for centralized cooling in large spaces. It features a specially designed, leak-proof industrial water tank, along with a high-performance motor, blower, and water pumps. ARCTIC products are also easy to maintain, with spare parts readily available through our extensive distribution network.
Unlike many other plastic coolers that rely on expensive imported parts, ARCTIC coolers use branded Indian spare parts, including high-quality motors, pumps, and cellulose pads, which can be easily repaired or replaced.
For layouts where more cooling is needed but less moisture in the air, ARCTIC’S indirect evaporative cooling (IDEC) systems are most appropriate. These have smart controls to monitor temperature, humidity (RH sensor) and TDS sensors for maintaining water quality. For spot cooling, our free-flow portable coolers come in different modes – with side discharge as well as top-discharge options.
WE ARE EXPERTS IN HELPING INDUSTRIES MINIMIZE POWER COSTS WHILE PROVIDING THE BEST AIR-COOLING SOLUTIONS
ARCTIC factory cooling experts have rich experience in designing and implementing air cooling solutions for big industrial facilities across India and other countries. For example, at the Jaipur industrial complex of Bosch India, we observed that the old coolers had very high levels of power consumption. In addition, they were very noisy and required extensive and frequent maintenance.
We provided a solution to Bosch India that significantly reduced the power costs with the added benefit of low-cost maintenance.
Similar successful ARCTIC installations are running at several industrial spaces like RSL Distilleries, Mahadeo Bari Tea Factory, ROMSONS Medicals & Surgical and many more.
