To the standard benefits of adiabatic cooling, the mobile adiabatic cooler adds ubiquity and simplicity in a wide range of situations.
Sommaire
The ubiquitous use of a mobile adiabatic cooler
Flexibility is the essence of a mobile evaporative cooler. Its mobility means it can be used in a wide range of situations where cooling the working environment is essential. It’s all about spatial and temporal mobility.
The mobile adiabatic cooler can be positioned at the most appropriate point in the volume to be cooled. For example, the hot zone of an industrial process, a work area particularly exposed to heat flow, etc. In addition, the principle of evaporative cooling extends device operation to a variety of locations both inside and outside a building. A mobile evaporative cooler effectively cools a company patio, a logistics warehouse, an event marquee or a covered restaurant terrace.
What’s more, the mobile adiabatic cooler can also be positioned successively at several locations, depending on theevolution of the heat flow impacting the work volume. For example:
- Solar radiation from the east, then from the west, depending on the time of day, on an uninsulated or poorly insulated industrial building;
- A succession of overheated workstations during the day, such as loading or unloading containers or trailers.
In this respect, the multiplication of specific hot spots is easily resolved by the appropriate positioning of several evaporative coolers in the volume. The ubiquity and cost-effectiveness of these devices, and their energy performance coefficients, enablemanufacturers to approach this multi-cooler approach with confidence. The flexibility and diversity of uses, the energy savings generated, and the reduced operating costs compared with a conventional air-conditioning solution, favour the choice of several units rather than installing afixed air transport and distribution network.
In a way, the flexibility and reactivity of the mobile cooler enable just-in-time production of cool flows adapted to seasonal or industrial thermal peaks. All the more so as, in an adiabatic cooler, it’s the external thermal flow that drives the production of refrigeration. The hotter and drier the weather, the more efficient the evaporative cooler.
The ease of use of a mobile adiabatic cooler
Fill the water tank, plug in the cooler, press the remote control and the cooling process begins.
A mobile evaporative cooler distributes cooled air by simply moving the air from the volume to be cooled. A sweep function can also be added to accelerate the distribution of the fresh air flow. In addition, increasing ventilation power can be used in situations where cooling a hot volumevery quicklybecomes a priority for safety or productivity reasons: overheated machines, overheated spaces. When cooling an external marquee, the addition of a flexible hose allows the cooler to be positioned outside, if necessary.
A mobile evaporative cooler is designed to move quickly and easily to the area to be cooled. Wheels, reduced width, compact volume and light weight all contribute to the unit’s maneuverability, enabling it to pass through narrow passages (door, corridor, access ramp), then easily adjust the cooler’s position to obtain an efficient flow of cool air over the area to be cooled.
The reservoir is designed to operate autonomously for 10 to 12 hours. This makes it possible to cool a light structure outdoors, or to move around a site several times during a working day, without the need for nearby water points. If the position of the cooler is permanently fixed, its connection to a standard tap ensures a constant supply of water, regulated by a float.
Inside a building,electricity is supplied via a standard single-phase socket. Outside, it is connected to a mobile power supply or a single-phase generator, like all electrical equipment intended for external use.
Conclusion: a mobile adiabatic cooler is the solution for most situations.
A mobile adiabatic cooler combines variety and versatility with simple, practical operation. This means it can meet a wide variety of needs and applications, while providing the thermal comfort and ecological and economic benefits of adiabatic cooling.
Its cost-effectiveness and ubiquity mean that employers can look forward to the acquisition of several units, since they can be used together or separately, depending on the diversity of thermal situations to be addressed. They can be used both for permanent cooling of specific heat zones or large volumes, and for successive cooling of a variety of company spaces (logistics hall, truck trailer, reception patio, marquee, etc.).
