yorkpark Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi Everyone, This is the answer to keeping Dogs & Exhibitors cool in Summer! IT WORKS just ask the Flower Growers next door. Evaporative air coolers have a wide range of applications that include both residential and industrial uses. Air coolers are more cost-effective and practical alternative compared to refrigeration or air conditioning units. They are also relatively easy to install and maintain. Most air coolers are 80% cheaper compared to air conditioning units. At the same time, they consume lesser amount of electrical energy and they are less likely to break down. These are not surprising considering that air coolers have relatively simple mechanisms. A typical air cooler is comprised of a water evaporator and a blower fan. The air temperature is lowered by spraying mist into the air and circulating the air. Air coolers are ideal in environments that have relatively high temperature but low humidity. Air coolers are also well-suited for regions that have temperate and dry climates. Aside from residential use, air coolers are also widely used in industrial plants, construction sites, commercial kitchens, dry cleaners, greenhouses, poultry ranches, hog farms, dairy farms, kennels and warehouses. However, in areas with high humidity, air coolers may become less effective. Nonetheless, they may be combined with air conditioners for more efficient dissipation of heat. Evaporative air coolers can be used to cool the radiator coils of large air conditioning systems. Unlike air conditioners, evaporative air coolers do not rely on the compression and expansion cycle of gas refrigerants. On the other hand, an air condition unit is also classified as a type of air cooler. However, an air conditioning unit does not simply lower the air temperature by improving ventilation or air circulation. An air conditioning unit also dehumidify and purify the air by condensing the air moisture content and particulates. An air conditioning system is also capable of filtering the air from the outside.

SwaY Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Evaporative air coolers don't work in this humidity - it makes makes things sticky, wet, more muggy and ergghh I have evap at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CaptainCourageous Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Please advise a likely purchase & install price and annual running/maintenance cost for appropriate equipment to cool the pavillion at KCC Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaves Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 What about extractor fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many plants like muggy, humid air - people and dogs do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oskar & Zsa Zsa Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think what the OP was eluding to is spray coolers. Basically a jet of water atomised in front of a large fan. They do work well for large under cover areas which have a lot of ventilation or open doors and windows. They are used a lot in the U.S. They are inexpensive in electricity usage terms, but they do consume a lot of water. Not a big deal at the moment with water being so abundant, but not brilliant in terms of economic use of water. They do work well on low humidity days like we have had of late, but if it is humid, you just end up warm and wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaves Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 What about extractor fans? Would be a great start. And a cheaper option, maybe even some large fan in the ceiling like the ones at Bunnings? Combining the 2 of those would make it a lot cooler inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
