Evaporative cooling is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly way to keep your home cool. But how does evaporative cooling work that it needs repair and maintenance if necessary? In this blog post, we will discuss that.
Landmark Air Canberra has a team with over 20 years of experience in evaporative cooling services and is dedicated to creating a comfortable environment in your home.
What Are Evaporative Coolers?
Using the power of evaporation, an evaporative cooler cools the air by lowering its temperature. In the process of evaporation, water goes from being liquid to a gaseous state. As a result, the water cools because the highest-energy particles are the first to exit the liquid.
When you put a wet towel on your forehead on a hot day, the water evaporates and lowers the temperature of your head.
The same scientific concepts apply when it comes to cooling the air in your house with evaporative cooling. In a dry area, evaporation can assist in cooling the air by lowering its temperature.
To cool down on a hot day, you may have missed the air around you with a water sprayer. When it comes to evaporative air conditioning, it’s the same principle, but with technology to make the process more efficient and less dirty.
Landmark Air offers evaporative cooling services to customers in the Canberra & Queanbeyan areas. Our services include installation, repairs and replacement.
How Does Evaporative Cooling Work?
You may use an evaporative cooling system to reduce the temperature in your house by automating the process of evaporation. In general, the machine will include:
- A fan.
- A thick pad.
- A water reservoir.
- Extra controls for fine-tuning the outcomes.
Cooler pads are warmed by the dry, hot air drawn in by the machine’s fan. There are numerous layers in this pad to enhance the surface area and absorb water.
Evaporation of water molecules on the pad causes the cooler’s temperature to decrease as much as 20 degrees, making it easier to keep food fresh. On a hot day, you may relax in the comfort of your own home thanks to the fan’s ability to circulate cool air.
Other helpful components can be incorporated into evaporative coolers. Allergy sufferers and anyone with respiratory issues should take advantage of air filters and pads to reduce allergens and minimise mildew growth.
The use of a water pump, while not essential, helps speed up the cooling pad’s absorption of water. In specific versions, an ice pack may be added so that the air the fan pushes into the room can be even cooler. A remote control, variable fan speeds, and oscillating functions are additional essential features.
Why Do You Need One?
There are two primary advantages to using evaporative coolers over typical air conditioners: energy economy and environmental sustainability. Because evaporative coolers need significantly less power to run than standard air conditioners, the two reasons are the same: a standard air conditioner can use up to seven times as many watts of electricity.
Most evaporative coolers only need to run one fan to run the fan that pulls the airflow across the cooling pad. Compressors are used to force liquid refrigerant into a smaller space and then transfer it through a heat exchanger to remove heat from the air in standard air conditioning systems.
In addition to the fan that blows cold air into the room, this procedure demands a significant amount of power to perform. With an evaporative cooler, you can reduce your carbon footprint while also saving money on your utility bills by using less energy. It’s also worth noting that evaporative coolers utilise no ozone-depleting chemical refrigerants.
