Enjoy the benefits of eco-friendly, efficient comfort with evaporative cooling systems. At GJ Bradding, we install evaporative cooling solutions across Geelong, Ballarat and Melbourne. In this blog, we explore the benefits of evaporative cooling with a particular focus on our local climate.
How Does Evaporative Cooling Work?
There are several good reasons why homeowners and businesses choose evaporative cooling in Geelong. It’s better suited to regions like ours with hotter, drier summers as it adds cool air as well as a nice level of moisture and humidity to your indoor spaces.
Evaporative cooling works by evaporating water to cool the air. A built-in fan draws in warm air from outside where it passes over water-soaked pads, causing the water to evaporate and cool the air. This simple, but highly effective system offers several benefits.
Energy Efficient
Evaporative cooling is extremely energy efficient compared to traditional AC systems. With no compressor and refrigerant system, you can achieve savings of up to 75 per cent in electricity consumption.
Low Installation and Maintenance Costs
Evaporative cooling units are simple to install, with fewer working parts and simple technology underpinning their functionality. This means maintenance is also low-cost and easy. Larger units with increased fan speed or those attached to ducts can increase the complexity and cost but are still comparatively cost-efficient overall.
Ideal for Dry Climates
Evaporative cooling is well suited to dry climates as low-humidity air has greater potential to absorb water vapour. This allows for efficient cooling while reducing irritation caused by drying out the lining of the throat, nose and skin by increasing the moisture level in the air.
Filters Air Effectively
By passing outside air through moist pads, evaporative cooling systems are also effective at filtering out dust, pollen, and other allergens before circulating cool, fresh air throughout your home.
Eco-Friendly
On top of using the natural power of water to cool the air and retain ideal humidity levels, you also eliminate the use of polluting refrigerants like HCFCs and CFCs. By using non-polluting, eco-friendly technology, evaporative cooling is much more environmentally friendly compared to traditional compressor-style air conditioning systems.
