Evaporative Air Cooling System
Did you ever wonder why you feel cooler by the ocean or a river? It is because of natural evaporation. A sea breeze feels cooler because hot air is blown over water causing some of the water to evaporate. The air becomes a refreshing breeze.
Evaporative cooling in not a new idea. In fact, it's as old as nature itself. Did you ever wonder why you feel cooler by an ocean or river? It's because of natural evaporation. A sea breeze feels cooler because hot air is blown over the water causing some of the water to evaporate and absorb heat. The air becomes a refreshing breeze.
Of course, many other steps to control temperature were taken during construction of ancient buildings, such as having high ceilings and very thick walls. Because that's not easy to achieve with today's construction methods and not to mention today's space and cost constraints - heat transfer is considerably higher and passive cooling methods don't provide the benefit required. Therefore, Roots Enviro Cooler has simply taken the natural evaporative cooling process and developed it with state-of-the-art technology to suit today's lifestyle.
Comparison with Air Conditioning System
|
Traditional Refrigerant A/C |
Evaporative Cooling |
|
As ambient temperature rises, energy consumption increases, efficiency decreases |
As ambient temperature rises, energy consumption remains constant, efficiency increases |
|
Can guarantee a fixed temperature |
Temperature dependent upon ambient conditions |
|
Can only operate well in a closed environment |
Needs to operate with ventilation, open environment |
|
Recirculates approximately 80% - 85% internal stale air |
Operates with 100% fresh air, no recirculation |
|
Dehydrates the atmosphere within the working environment |
Slightly increases humidity level in the working environment |
|
Does not filter any air, leaves dust, minerals and bacteria in the air-stream. |
Some filtration of air, removes dust, minerals and bacteria from the air-stream |
