Case studies of success in the food industry
Granarolo, a major Italian dairy company, struggled with high summer temperatures at its Soliera plant, which lacked a cooling system. This led to over 150 workers needing breaks every few hours to get fresh air, causing low productivity and dissatisfaction. To solve this, the company decided to install Breezair TBA 550 Evaporative Coolers, supplied and installed by Italkero. The system, which cools the entire production area with 100% fresh air, uses insulated ducts to distribute the cooled air. The Breezair units not only improved worker comfort and productivity but also reduced running costs compared to traditional air conditioning systems. Additionally, their eco-friendly design, using no chemical refrigerants, aligned with Granarolo’s commitment to sustainability.
DuToit Cherries in South Africa installed 18 Climate Wizard units to cool their packing facility, ensuring optimal conditions for cherries, which require specific temperature and humidity levels. Conventional air conditioning was unsuitable due to its drying effect, so the company chose Climate Wizard’s energy-efficient, indirect evaporative cooling system. The system’s reliability and energy efficiency were key factors in the decision, as any disruption in cooling could slow down the fast-paced packing process. The system’s redundancy ensures continuous operation, supporting the facility’s efficient operation.
Evaporative Cooling Applications
Evaporative air conditioning has a wide range of cooling applications
In the food industry, where maintaining stable temperature and humidity is essential for product quality and efficient production, evaporative cooling offers the perfect solution. This system provides 100% fresh, filtered outside air, improving ventilation, and reducing CO2 and VOC levels. It effectively regulates both temperature and humidity, creating an ideal environment for food storage and processing. This ensures optimal conditions for product integrity and a comfortable working space for staff.

The evaporative air conditioning unit is an affordable and efficient cooling solution, perfect for industries, factories, warehouses, and large retail spaces. It delivers effective cooling while using up to 80% less energy compared to refrigerated systems, making it especially suitable for high-traffic areas with frequent door openings.
This type of cooling is ideal for a range of industries, including technical cooling, textiles, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and commercial environments, offering significant benefits for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).
These advantages include continuous fresh air flow, natural air filtration through cooling pads, and a reduction in pollutants, dust, and odors. By adding moisture to the air, it helps regulate humidity levels, preventing dryness, dust, and static electricity. Unlike conventional HVAC systems, evaporative cooling does not recirculate air, avoiding the accumulation of harmful gases. The result is a healthier, more comfortable work environment, with reduced respiratory irritation and improved worker productivity.

Industrial air conditioning unit Frequently Asked Questions
- Evaporative air conditioners (coolers) are excellent for health
- They supply 100% fresh, filtered air into your building that is not recirculated, improving Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) of the space, supporting customer and staff well-being
- They remove unhealthy pollution from your indoor environment
- They provide basic moisture that the human body needs
- They remove static electricity; they can assist in reducing the effects of illnesses such as asthma.
A high inlet water temperature does not have a marked effect on the supply temperature of Seeley International’s evaporative air conditioners.
Yes. Outdoor areas have no walls to contain the cool air. These spaces would be impossible to cool using refrigerated air conditioning because this relies on recirculating and reusing air from a sealed area. Evaporative air conditioners (coolers) can easily supply a flow of fresh and cool air to open and semi open areas since the air is exhausted naturally.
In most cases evaporative air conditioners (coolers) marginally increase humidity, keeping in mind that temperature has also dropped significantly. It is the combination of temperature, humidity and airflow that creates human comfort and evaporative air conditioners are used widely around the world because they can create comfortable conditions. For example, 80% humidity and 30°C (86°F) is very uncomfortable, but 80% humidity and 16°C (61°F) is very comfortable. Comfort is also improved by increasing air velocity in hot conditions and evaporative air conditioners create sufficient air movement to minimise the effects of humidity.
Air inside the building collects heat, moisture and impurities and must be exhausted. The evaporative air conditioner (cooler) provides 100% outside air which must be relieved from the building. If the building is sealed, the effectiveness of the cooler(s) will be reduced. Mechanical extraction or even just leaving some doors or windows open helps remove unhealthy air from the indoor environment by supplying 100% fresh, filtered air. For this reason, evaporative air conditioners (coolers) are much healthier than refrigerated air conditioning.
