A LOW COST COOLING OPTION FOR YOUR FACTORY THAT WILL KEEP YOU COOL EVEN ON THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR
benefits of breathing in fresh cool air in comparison to recycled refrigerated air.
Cummins Diesel Engines Example Cummins Diesel Engines recently invested in 42 EcoCoolers to tackle the very hot, uncomfortable temperatures on their main shop floor. These units introduce fresh, chilled and filtered air to the various workstations throughout their production facility. Controlled from two floor mounted, centralised control panels, the system reduces summertime temperatures from over 30C to a far more comfortable 21C.
The cost-effective alternative to refrigeration with only 10 per cent of the operating costs and 60 per cent of the capital spend

coCooling offers direct evaporative cooling and ventilation solutions with
control systems that enable you to maintain internal temperatures below 25°C all year round. With over 3000 installations worldwide,
EcoCooling is an experienced UK manufacturer. The in-house R&D team works to incorporate the latest energy- efficient technologies meaning clients have some of the most innovative ventilation and cooling systems in the world.
About EcoCooling Founded in 2002, UK manufacturing and engineering company EcoCooling provides energy efficient and low carbon alternatives to air conditioning. Developed from one of the oldest and simplest technologies known to man, EcoCooling has taken the concept of direct evaporative cooling and re-engineered it to provide a sophisticated cooling and ventilation system that can outperform the alternatives on most counts. EcoCooling operates from a 1500m²
site based in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, which is home to the company’s manufacturing, an R&D facility and provides a storage base for all spares and coolers that are ready to be shipped as required. This set up is supported by a trusted network of UK installers able to take on new projects that can be up and running in just a matter of weeks.

Beyond Ventilation Ventilation alone can provide a perfectly satisfactory solution to cooling many industrial and commercial premises, however there are situations when ventilation isn’t enough. This is where EcoCooling’s technology can help. EcoCoolers can either be used for the
blanket cooling of a building or the spot cooling of workstations and production lines. The solution is perfect for factories, warehouses, and mezzanine floors where the temperature needs to be stabilised. Clients that have benefitted from EcoCooling’s solutions include TKMaxx, Cummins Diesel, Net- a-Porter and Matalan.
Effective Cooling for Factories EcoCooling’s standard evaporative cooler is currently used in factories across the globe, delivering cooling for a 250 sqm space at a cost of under 14p per hour. This makes the EcoCooler a highly cost- effective solution when compared to traditional refrigerant air conditioning as it operates at less than 10 per cent of the running cost. Large factories that operate hot
machinery can especially benefit from the ‘spot cooling’ function and in turn, have seen an increase in staff productivity. Further energy reductions can be achieved by the use of Electrically Commutated (EC) fans in IT environments. There is also the added

The ECP range of coolers can be installed externally or inside a plant room
Herman Miller Example Herman Miller had nine roof-mounted EcoCoolers installed at its 170,000 sq.ft site in just five weeks. The solution enabled the control of the air temperature and humidity levels in the assembly and manufacturing machine areas; acting as a recirculation system for winter and a ventilator or evaporative cooling system for the summer. The costs to cool and maintain a system over this area is expected to run at an impressive £3.15 per hour for supply and extraction.
Fresh Air Cooling Many locations can maintain compliant conditions by just using fresh air cooling (free cooling), which is something that EcoCoolers enable. This is achieved via multiple EC fans that are connected directly to temperature controllers to provide a simple automated solution. In factories where more stringent conditions have to be met or when heating and cooling systems need to be integrated Programmable Logical Controllers (PLCs) can be used. Ventilation coupled with evaporative
cooling and modern controls can provide your premises with a sophisticated air handling system that competes with any air cooling refrigeration system at a fraction of the energy cost and provides a high level of control of the environment.
A Versatile Product The EcoCooler is available in several different configurations, meaning they are suitable for any location and are easy to install and come with minimal maintenance. The ECP range of coolers can be installed externally or inside a plant room. The standard unit has a down flow, however top and side discharge configurations are also available, meaning there is a viable solution that suits the needs of your factory.
