Adiabatic evaporative cooling
In-room humidifiers spray microfine water droplets, thereby generating evaporative cooling.
Benefits
The use of evaporative cooling with adiabatic air humidification improves the indoor climate and productivity.
Higher productivity
Reduced heat loads with adiabatic cooling ensure optimal process parameters.
Healthier indoor climate
Adiabatic cooling protects health and reduces employee complaints.
Lower energy costs
Reduced costs for air conditioning and low energy consumption.
Indoor Evaporative Cooling
Increased productivity through evaporative cooling
A controlled indoor climate is a decisive factor for productivity and quality in industrial manufacturing processes, in offices and even in data centres. Excessively high temperatures and low humidity have been shown to reduce work performance and increase the likelihood of errors and accidents. Studies show that productivity can drop by 3 to 12% in conditions of high heat stress. In addition to employee performance, the indoor climate also influences the quality of the end products, as many materials and manufacturing steps are sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Adiabatic evaporative cooling offers an efficient solution for lowering room temperature and stabilising humidity. This standardises production processes, ensures quality and sustainably increases productivity.
Evaporative cooling for healthy indoor climate
The health and safety of employees is a key concern for modern industrial companies. Excessively high temperatures in the workplace can lead to health problems such as headaches, exhaustion, dehydration and, in extreme cases, heat stroke. At the same time, excessively low humidity promotes respiratory infections, mucous membrane irritation and increased virus transmission. Adiabatic evaporative cooling with additional air humidification ensures a pleasant and healthy indoor climate. Optimal humidity protects the respiratory tract, reduces dust and minimises electrostatic charges. Companies benefit from fewer absences due to illness and higher employee satisfaction. This technology effectively supports compliance with legal requirements for occupational safety.
Cut energy costs with evaporative cooling
Adiabatic evaporative cooling is one of the most energy-efficient methods for cooling production and work spaces or even data centres. Compared to conventional air conditioning units, it can reduce cooling energy costs significantly. The principle uses the evaporation of water to extract heat from the ambient air, which can lower the temperature by an average of 2 to 5 °C – with minimal energy consumption. High-pressure nozzle humidifiers installed directly in the room, for example, require only 0.6 kW of energy to evaporate 100 litres of water and absorb around 70 kW of heat. This technology enables a sustainable reduction in energy consumption and contributes significantly to lowering operating costs.
