Mobile Cooling for Sporting Events: OberA’s IC Solution, Efficient and Immediate

Sports events, whether outdoors or under temporary structures, often experience high temperatures. This heat can impair athletes’ performance, fatigue the public and staff (referees, doctors, volunteers), and complicate logistics (stands, VIP areas, grandstands).

To counteract these effects, OberA offers mobile adiabatic air coolers from the IC range, designed to immediately create cool zones. These “Plug & Play” devices connect to a standard outlet and include a water tank: in minutes, ambient air is drawn in and projected through wet filters, producing a fresh airflow without complex installation or refrigerants.

The process, based on water evaporation, provides rapid, natural, and eco-responsible cooling.

To address these challenges, the evaporative coolers from the IC range, designed by OberA, offer a mobile, silent, and economical solution, perfectly suited for all types of sports events.

Natural Adiabatic Principle

Hot air is drawn in, passes through humidified filter media, and its heat is absorbed by water evaporation. The result: cooler air diffused into the space, without residual hot gas circulation or external “heat islands.”

Installation and Mobility

Our IC coolers are delivered on wheels and can be easily moved from one stand to another. They operate without fixed installation: only an electrical outlet and a water source (tank or mains) are required.

Energy Efficiency and Comfort

Up to 15 times less consumption than a conventional air conditioner. These devices consume little electricity and require no gas or fuel.

Beyond the temperature drop, the blown air is slightly humidified (integrated humidifier effect), preventing overly dry air and improving respiratory comfort. The patented G4 OberA Pureflow filtration retains dust and pollen (90% efficiency on particles ≥100 µm), ensuring clean air for the public and athletes.

Silence and Ergonomics

Despite their high airflow rates, IC units remain quiet (equivalent to a domestic vacuum cleaner). Their compact design (ultra-compact for the IC 12) and moderate weight on wheels allow for simple and quick on-site deployment.

Our Cooling Solutions for Sports Events

IC 12

ic 12

Confined spaces (medical tents, referee cabins, etc.) – very compact and quiet. Ideal for cooling up to 150 m².

  • Airflow: 12,000 m³/h
  • Tank: 70 L

IC 22

ic 22

Medium-sized areas (VIP zones, press stands, logistics, etc.) – long autonomy (130 L tank) with water UV sterilization for hygienic air. Covers up to 250 m².

  • Airflow: 22,000 m³/h
  • Tank: 130 L

IC 30

ic 30

Large covered volumes (grandstands, backstages, halls, etc.) – powerful airflow to cool vast semi-open spaces. 280 L tank for long sessions.

  • Airflow: 30,000 m³/h
  • Tank: 280 L

Each IC unit can be controlled via its control panel or remotely: you can adjust the airflow (3 speeds) and the perceived temperature. The large water tank ensures several hours of autonomy (e.g., approximately 9–18 hours depending on the configuration).

All IC models are mounted on wheels and equipped with a handle: the IC 12 weighs only 43 kg, the IC 22 50 kg (can be loaded onto a trailer), facilitating their use in the field. The IC 30, while larger (110 kg), remains maneuverable thanks to its robust structure.

Usage Tips

For optimal effect, install the cooler in an air circulation area (e.g., facing the public or in line with a tent). Fill its tank with potable water and regularly check its level – IC units can also be continuously connected to a water source. Plan to start it a few minutes before the peak heat. For hygiene, drain and rinse the tank periodically (the integrated UV sterilization maintains water cleanliness). Finally, direct the unit towards the area to be cooled and ensure that air inlets/outlets are not obstructed.

Why Choose OberA for Your Events?

OberA IC coolers combine ease of use, high performance, and environmental respect. Their evaporation technology, without refrigerants, is 100% natural and consumes very little energy.

Unlike a conventional fan, they genuinely lower the temperature, and unlike air conditioning, they can be installed in minutes without extensive work. In an event context (shows, competitions, sports fairs, etc.), these devices offer immediate comfort to athletes and the public while remaining discreet and economical.
