What is Evaporative Cooling and how does it work?

Ben Winrow • July 20, 2017

Evaporative cooling involves fresh, clean air being sent through an environment and can heighten comfort and productivity levels in the workplace and at home. The process sees temperatures reduced due to liquid being evaporated. Systems used for evaporative cooling can be compared to the way air moves over coastal areas where heat from the air is absorbed, resulting in a comforting and cooling sea breeze.


The comfort you require

In evaporative air conditioning, hot and dry air is pumped through pads, with the water being evaporated and the heat in the air being absorbed, resulting in air temperature drops. Fans then send the cool air through a ducting system. To make the most of such systems, you need to leave a door or a window open so the cool air can escape. All the air circulated is completely fresh, so you won’t have to worry about stale, recycled air being pushed around your home or office. The systems are designed so impurities are taken out of the air.


Air of the finest quality

Whilst some air conditioning systems can trigger asthma and allergies, these evaporative air conditioning solutions cool the air with moisture so noses, skin and eyes are not dried out. When doors and windows are left open, outdoor areas can also be cooled by the system. When the water is evaporated, energy is taken from the air, enabling temperatures to fall. When humidity falls below 100% and air starts to absorb water, evaporation is enabled. Air becomes saturated when it is no longer able to hold any more water.

Radiant Heater
By Winrow March 3, 2025
Radiant heat, a fundamental physics concept, is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves. Understanding radiant heat is key to designing efficient heating systems as it’s based on energy emission and absorption through infrared radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum, thermal radiation and blackbody radiation are the underlying principles of radiant heat . As researchers dig deeper into the science of radiant heat they uncover new applications in architecture, medicine and beyond, and pave the way for sustainable and efficient solutions that change our daily lives.
