Increased Morale: Low morale is the result of an uncomfortable work environment. It can results in tardiness, absenteeism, and turnover. Vacant workstations result in possible overtime to meet schedules and training costs for replacements. Evaporative cooling helps to keep the work environment at a comfortable temperature.

Safety is a major economic consideration in all working areas. Hot, uncomfortable workers are more liable to ignore good safety practice and cause accidents. By keeping the air cool, you help keep employees' minds clear.

Better Health Factors: Heat stress in the working environment is an increasing concern of regulatory agencies. The National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) has developed a preliminary standard for allowable heat stress levels. Evaporative cooling helps reduce the chance of heat stress.

Increased Production: Your own production records may document productivity losses from high temperatures. They are summarized in NASA Report CR12051. The report shows that when inside temperatures rise, output drops.

The principle of evaporative cooling is best illustrated by the chilling effect when you come out of the shower or a swimming pool. This chill is caused by water evaporating into the air taking the heat with it. The same thing happens when you sweat. It is natures way of keeping us cool during hot weather or physical exertion.

Evaporative cooling is accomplished by passing the hot air through wet media. The cooling media could be as simple as a wet cloth. In fact, this process was used in ancient cultures. Hanging a wet cloth over an opening cools the air passing through the cloth into the structure.

The rate at which water is absorbed into the air passing through the cooling media is known as the evaporation rate. This rate varies depending on the humidity in the air. The higher the humidity, the lower the cooling.

An Evaporative Cooler must be used in areas with adequate ventilation. PLEASE DO NOT CLOSE YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS AND EXPECT THIS FORM OF COOLING TO WORK.
