What Is Evaporative Cooling and Why Is Every Smart Factory Switching to It?

If your factory floor is overheating and your energy bills keep climbing, there is a smarter alternative to traditional air conditioning — and UK manufacturers are taking notice.

How It Works

Evaporative cooling draws fresh outside air through externally mounted, water-saturated pads. As the air passes through, heat energy is absorbed, lowering the temperature before it is delivered at low level

  • right where your people are working. Unlike conventional AC, it introduces 100% fresh, filtered air and works perfectly with doors and windows open.

The Energy Case

The numbers speak for themselves. A 1.5kW EcoCooling motor delivers over 40kW of cooling — compared to over 15kW of electricity required by traditional AC for the same output. That equates to up to 90% in energy savings, making it one of the most cost-effective cooling investments available to industrial businesses today.

Why Factories Are Making the Switch

  • No CFCs or refrigerant gases — genuinely environmentally friendly

  • Reduces fumes, particles, and odours on the shop floor

  • Works with open loading bays and roller doors

  • Variable speed controls to suit your production environment

  • Installed with zero downtime — your operation keeps running

Celsius Design has delivered EcoCooling installations for Premier Foods, McCains Foods, Nisa Stores, and many more — including the largest single factory evaporative cooling system in the UK.
