Ventilation and cooling equipment for factory workshops

Evaporative air coolers (also known as evaporative coolers or eco-friendly air conditioners) are devices that utilize the principle of "water evaporation absorbing heat" to achieve cooling. Their core structure typically includes a fan, a wet curtain (or evaporative filter), a water tank, and a water circulation system. During operation, the fan draws in outdoor air. As the air passes through the moist wet curtain, water evaporates and absorbs heat from the air, lowering the air temperature. The cooled air is then delivered indoors through air ducts, while hot indoor air is expelled, achieving ventilation and cooling.

Its core advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. High energy efficiency and low operating costs
   Evaporative air coolers do not require a compressor (the high-energy-consuming component of traditional air conditioners). Their main energy consumption comes from the fan and water circulation pump, with power consumption being only 1/8 to 1/10 of that of traditional air conditioners (for example, for a 100㎡ space, an evaporative cooler consumes about 1-2 kW, while a traditional air conditioner requires 8-15 kW). Long-term use can significantly reduce electricity expenses, making it particularly suitable for large spaces such as factory workshops, warehouses, and gymnasiums.

2. Environmentally friendly with no pollutant emissions
   Its cooling relies on the natural evaporation principle and does not require refrigerants like Freon, thus avoiding ozone layer depletion or greenhouse gas emissions. There is also no risk of chemical pollution. Additionally, the equipment produces no exhaust gas or wastewater during operation, aligning with environmental policies and low-carbon requirements.

3. Ventilation and improved air quality
   Unlike traditional air conditioners, which rely on "closed-loop cooling," evaporative air coolers continuously introduce fresh outdoor air (with air exchange rates of 30-60 times per hour) while expelling stale indoor air (such as odors, dust, and harmful gases). This helps prevent "sick building syndrome" associated with enclosed spaces and is especially suitable for crowded areas requiring air circulation, such as workshops, supermarkets, and conference rooms.

4. Humidity regulation, suitable for dry environments
   During the cooling process, the air humidity is naturally increased (by approximately 10%-30%). In dry regions (such as northern areas) or scenarios requiring humidity (such as textile factories, greenhouses, and laboratories), it can simultaneously address both "cooling" and "humidifying" needs. In contrast, traditional air conditioners reduce air humidity, which may cause discomfort or material drying and cracking.

5. Wide applicability and efficient large-area cooling
   It has low installation requirements (no need for enclosed spaces), and a single unit can cover 50-150㎡, making it suitable for open or semi-open areas such as workshops, warehouses, farmers' markets, and outdoor scenic spots. Compared to traditional air conditioners, which cool small spaces individually, evaporative coolers are more efficient for large-area centralized cooling. Moreover, the initial purchase cost is only 1/3 to 1/5 of that of traditional air conditioners.

6. Easy maintenance and longer lifespan
   With a simple structure (no complex compressors or refrigerant pipelines), daily maintenance only requires cleaning the wet curtain, replacing filters, and checking the water pump, resulting in low costs. The core components (fan and wet curtain) have a lifespan of 5-8 years, significantly longer than the 3-5 years of traditional air conditioners.

In summary, evaporative air coolers offer significant advantages in energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, ventilation, and suitability for large areas, making them particularly ideal for scenarios with comprehensive requirements for cooling efficiency, operating costs, and air quality. However, their cooling effectiveness is highly influenced by environmental humidity (in high-humidity regions, such as southern summers, the cooling effect may drop from 8-15°C to 3-5°C), so selection should be based on local climate conditions.
