Portable evaporative cooler

Portable Evaporative Cooler Hire Powerful, Portable Evaporative Coolers For Large Space Cooling

“Unique in appearance, designed as smart, clean ‘white goods’ to blend attractively in any environment”

With unrivalled space cooling performance through their directional funnel outlets, KwikCOOL Eventair portable vaporative coolers meet the needs of medium and large area cooling applications.

Ventilation Rates – Air Changes Per Hour

March 26, 2009

Ventilation Rates – Air Changes Per Hour

The points which affect this are:

the size of the building or room
the purpose for which it is used
the number of occupants
the type of work they are doing
heat gains from other sources, e.g., electric motors and equipment
the amount of steam, dust and odours from production processes
whether the customer has any particular temperature requirement or the building

The table of recommended ACH for different types of rooms and buildings is based on a combination of practical experience and theory, and can safely be used as a guide for all normal conditions in this country.

Reducing Carbon Emissions by using Evaporative Cooling

March 24, 2009

Many modern buildings require temporary cooling either for the comfort of the occupants or to protect the processes or equipment they contain. There are three typical methods which can be employed to cool these buildings; ventilation, evaporative cooling or a refrigeration based portable air conditioning system. The choice of system can have a dramatic effect on the total carbon emissions of the building due to their different electrical demands. See our Air Conditioning comparison to compare the features of Air Conditioning with Evaporative Cooling.Ventilation systems can provide comfort cooling for most of the year. During prolonged periods of high temperatures they are unable to maintain internal temperatures below 25°C. Refrigeration based systems are effective but can be expensive to operate. Mobile evaporative coolers, which can produce air consistently below 22°C in the UK climate, provides an intermediate solution which consumes only a fraction of the electricity.

An evaporative cooling installation typically consumes less than 15% of the electricity compared to the equivalent rated refrigeration based cooling system.

Click here to see an example whichshows how this electricity saving can result in 1.5 tonnes of carbon savings for a 30KW cooling requirement.
