Top 4 Questions about Industrial Coolers Answered by CAT Rental

Industrial coolers and fluid chillers in Australia are an essential technology in many industries, especially with our sunny, hot climate. Coolers can effectively ventilate large open spaces economically and energy-efficiently, while fluid chillers keep equipment at optimal running temperature, keeping workplaces comfortable and boosting productivity while reducing downtime. Here are 5 questions about industrial coolers answered by the CAT rental team.

1. How do industrial coolers work?

This technology cools the air through the process of evaporation rather than vapor-compression refrigeration. Essentially, water is pumped from a tank onto a cooling pad, where it is absorbed. A fan or blower sucks warm air from the space you want to be cooled and passes it through the pad, where it is cooled as the water evaporates. The cooled air is then released into the workspace.

2. Where are industrial coolers typically used?

This equipment is best suited to large commercial and industrial applications, including factories, warehouses, restaurants, offices, schools, hotels, workshops, and retail stores. It’s the preferred choice because the equipment can cope easily with large, open spaces, providing an economical and efficient way to provide cool, comfortable air.

3. What types of industrial coolers are on the market? 

There are two main types of industrial cooling equipment – portable and installed. Portable units are ideal for mobile workers and mobile worksites as they are easily transported and highly-efficient at cooling. Installed industrial coolers are the most effective units, however, simply due to their size. They can pump out a significant amount of cool air every minute, making them ideal for use in large spaces.

They are the more efficient choice for many reasons: due to their installation on the outside of a building (where the air is usually cooler than inside), they start the cooling at a lower temperature, so they don’t have to work as hard to produce results. The way they have installed means that cool and warm air never mix, as the cool air is pumped directly to the occupied level of the building, pushing hot air up and out of the structure.

4. How does an industrial cooler measure up to an air conditioning unit?

Air conditioning systems are more efficient and more effective than ever before, but they don’t cope well with open spaces. Running costs for an AC system in large, industrial or commercial applications are going to be high and they can be ineffective at dealing with peak demand requirements. Industrial air coolers from CAT rental, however, have a very high capacity and are affordable to run in open and high-demand spaces.

They also produce very good air quality, as they don’t recycle air as an air conditioning system does. Instead, this equipment brings in fresh air from outdoors at a continual rate, trapping dust and particles in the wet evaporation pad and only allowing purified air to circulate back into the building. This is better for the occupant’s well-being and productivity.
