According to the EPA’s Engineering and Research Laboratory, using ventilation exhaust in industrial settings is especially important when considering the impact of manufacturing and synthetic chemicals on the environment. Especially important is the risk to human health that presents itself to industrial workers on a daily basis. Commercial fans help reduce the impact of pollutants for people who work around welding, blasting, grinding, polishing, solvents, dip tanks, oil mists, dusts, or tiny fibers. Exhaust fans draw gasses away from the main source, reduce noise from output, and lower the concentration of emissions from the entire process. A well-designed ventilation system...

We all want to make more money and spend less for certain luxuries. This includes our ability to remain warm when it’s cold outside and cool when it’s hot outside, and evaporative cooling systems offers the solution for all of it. With the ability to keep a home cool as economically and energy efficient as possible, it’s well worth the time to learn about. Evaporative cooling systems are able to nearly always maintain a temperature below 80 degrees F. Many systems are capable of lowering temperatures within a home by as much as 30 degrees. This is significant and allows...

The array of options on the market for residential, commercial, and industrial evaporative air coolers can be overwhelming. Homeowners, business owners, and contractors should ask a few questions before choosing an evaporative cooling system: How much space needs to be cooled to maintain comfort and productivity? What type of system best meets the needs of the building? Are there large, expansive spaces or several smaller rooms? Is there existing ductwork or will ductwork be installed? There are units designed specifically for use with existing ductwork. What is the layout of the existing ductwork? Certain units may operate efficiently with current...

Evaporative cooling towers are often used in power plants, food processing plants, natural gas processing plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, and semi-conductor plants. Installing industrial evaporative cooling systems is one way for business owners to improve employee comfort, health, and productivity. When employees are comfortable, morale and production increase. Likewise, when workers are uncomfortable due to the stress caused by heat, accidents and mistakes are more common and productivity drops. An evaporative cooling tower can help provide cooling without the expense of central air conditioning. They store large amounts of water that lower the overall temperature of the building by...

Evaporative air coolers and evaporative humidifiers offer both energy efficiency and energy savings to homeowners, business owners, and industrial operators. Here are some facts about evaporative cooling: Evaporative air coolers work by adding humidity to the air. The moisture and air movement provided by evaporative cooling helps to remove heat, smoke, odors, and air pollution caused by dangerous chemicals and gases. Evaporative air coolers require only 25 percent of the energy required by a central air conditioning system. Evaporative coolers work to maintain air temperatures below 80 degrees F—a safe level for industrial or commercial workers. Evaporative cooling can be routed through an existing...
