How Evaporative Airconditioners Work
Most of Australia is blessed with a climate that is ideal for evaporative air conditioning. Cool Breeze ducted evaporative air conditioning is the natural, healthy way to cool your home.
Unlike refrigerated ducted ar conditioning systems where air is dried, chilled and recirculated, a Cool Breeze ducted evaporative system uses the natural element of water to cool the air which is never re-circulated, as stale air is continually expelled through open doors and windows.
Cool Breeze ducted evaporative air conditioning is environmentally friendly as it uses no CFC's and very little power!
Lowers Effective Temperature
This is the temperature that people feel as a direct result of air movement over the body. Effective temperature should not be confused with the actual temperature as read from an ordinary thermometer on a hot day. When sensing a breeze we feel cooler, even though the air stream produced by the breeze is the same temperature as the air. The cooling effect of air in motion is due to increased skin surface evaporation. Heat is removed from the body so you feel cooler. This effective temperature drop can be from 2 to 4 degrees below the still air temperature.
Lowers Actual Temperature
Warm air is drawn through wetted filter pads. The outside air temperature is lowered by the evaporative process and the cool air is directed into your home. The cooling effect to your home will depend on the efficiency of the air conditioning system, the number of air changes produced by the fan and the prevailing temperature and humidity conditions on the day. Your dealer will be able to provide you with information on the temperature reduction that should be expected in your area. A system can be sized and designed to offer the best summer relief.
Reduces Radiated Heat to Occupants
In your home, under normal temperature conditions, heat is radiated from the human body to surrounding walls and ceilings. However, as the temperature approaches 34 – 35º, this heat is radiated back to the human body. Evaporative air conditioning prevents this by absorbing heat from the walls and ceilings with a constant flow of cool air - which ensures that people occupying your home can radiate heat at a faster rate and therefore remain much cooler.
100% Fresh Air
With evaporative air conditioning there is a continuous flow of air into your home. Fresh and cool, this airflow continually forces out stale air, which is never re-circulated.
Filters Outside Air
Outside air often contains dust, pollen and pollutants. Evaporative air conditioning prevents these substances from entering your home by filtering outside air through wet filter pads, flushing all airborne material from the air. Great for allergy sufferers.
