What are the differences between an adiabatic air cooler and a traditional air conditioner?
Air conditioning is known to be an effective temperature control solution and is used in many countries around the world. But traditional air conditioners, as we knew them, are no longer the most energy efficient cooling solution.
The answer lies in evaporative cooling with our adiabatic air coolers. It can offer a more effective, economical and efficient alternative to outdated cooling methods.
How they work
ADIABATIC AIR COOLER
The operation of this device is based on evapotranspiration technology, i.e. the evaporation of water consuming heat. Its operating principle is based on the natural evaporation of heat. The adiabatic air cooler draws air in and passes it through a water soaked medium (tap water or water from a tank). Heat is used to evaporate water and allow it to drain. The adiabatic air cooler then provides fresh air in the workshop.
THE TRADITIONAL AIR CONDITIONER
Traditional air conditioners use refrigerants to cool a room. After drawing in warm air from outside, the air conditioner passes the air through a cold coil to trap the heat. This one is then expelled in the room. To cool a room, an air conditioner needs an outdoor unit.
Why is air conditioning no longer number one?
Traditional air conditioning has always had its shortcomings. Incorrect adjustments or settings can result in temperature changes that are too abrupt for outdoor conditions. These sudden changes in the environment can cause colds, throat inflammation, respiratory infections and other problems.
Traditional air conditioning also absorbs the majority of the moisture in the air, leaving the air dry for those who work in these environments. This can increase infections such as rhinitis, bronchitis and even pneumonia.
Adverse health effects are not something you usually associate with air conditioning, but it is one of the many problems the systems can cause. Other negative aspects include :
- High/expensive energy consumption
- The use of non-ecological refrigerant gas
- Lower cooling capacity
What are the advantages of an adiabatic air cooler?
ENERGY CONSUMPTION REDUCED BY 90
An adiabatic air cooler has a low energy consumption. It consumes 90% less energy than a traditional air conditioner. In terms of operation, the air freshener uses electricity to power only one component of the unit: the fan. In contrast, an air conditioner uses electricity to power five main components of the unit: the compressor, fan, evaporator, condenser and expansion valve.
BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Not only is an adiabatic air cooler energy efficient, but it also uses efficient cooling technology without the use of polluting refrigerant gases. The system of this device is based on the use of natural water for its operation. The amount of water consumed is remarkably less than other methods of producing a kilowatt, whether by nuclear, hydro or other energy sources.
REFRESHES VERY LARGE ROOMS
The adiabatic air cooler is capable of cooling large spaces at low cost. The cooling unit operates in open and/or very spacious rooms. Being mobile, it can be moved anywhere, in order to reach parts that are difficult to cool.
COST AWARENESS
The adiabatic air cooler is very competitive both in terms of investment costs and acquisition costs. Installation, operation and maintenance costs are much lower than those of a traditional air conditioning unit. The operational costs of the unit are similar to those of a fan. Its installation cost is low, as it only requires a water intake and an electrical power source without the need for additional piping.
BETTER FOR YOUR HEALTH
Unlike traditional air conditioning, the adiabatic air cooler allows the opening of doors and windows during its use and a constant renewal of air. This means that fresh air can circulate at all times and prevents dust, odors, smoke, gases and other pollutants from spreading.
The system also maintains an optimal humidity level that prevents the environment from drying out. This avoids some adverse health effects such as mucosal alterations, respiratory and skin dehydration, eczema, rhinitis and conjunctivitis, among others. Preventing sudden changes in temperature can also prevent other health problems.
