Innovation in adiabatic cooling
EVAPCO has developed a new adiabatic cooling system that eliminates mechanical pumps, cutting operational costs and reducing water usage for commercial cooling applications.
What is EVAPCO's new pumpless adiabatic cooling system?
HVAC technicians installing or maintaining commercial cooling systems will see simplified equipment with fewer mechanical parts to service and lower running costs for clients.
Key takeaways
- EVAPCO's new adiabatic cooling system removes the need for mechanical pumps in commercial cooling equipment.
- The design reduces long-term operational costs for building owners and facility managers.
- Water consumption is lowered compared to traditional adiabatic cooling systems.
- Fewer mechanical components means simplified maintenance for HVAC contractors.
