The ideal cooling solution for garages and semi open spaces

With low operating costs and no need for fully enclosed spaces, evaporative cooling is the ideal solution when conventional air conditioning is not an option.

Garage air conditioning units

Seeley International’s Garage Air Conditioning Units provide an energy-efficient and sustainable solution for maintaining optimal temperatures in semi-open spaces. Specifically designed for commercial and industrial environments, these advanced evaporative cooling systems offer precise temperature control while minimizing energy consumption and reducing environmental impact.

In a garage or workshop, implementing evaporative cooling creates a stable, comfortable environment for both staff and equipment. This helps protect tools, machinery, and sensitive materials from temperature fluctuations, improving operational efficiency and ensuring a safer work environment. In showrooms, the cooling system ensures a pleasant and consistent climate, keeping both customers and products comfortable, while preventing damage to temperature-sensitive items.

Evaporative cooling offers significant long-term energy savings compared to traditional air conditioning systems, making it an ideal choice for garages, workshops, and showrooms alike. This solution not only reduces energy costs but also lowers your environmental footprint.

With an eco-friendly approach, Seeley International’s evaporative cooling technology supports more sustainable operations while improving efficiency and extending the lifespan of your equipment. Whether in a garage, workshop, or showroom, our system helps maintain an optimal environment and enhances the overall experience for staff, customers, and products alike.

Garages IAQ Benefits

Fresh Air Circulation: Evaporative cooling constantly brings in fresh air from outside, reducing stagnant, stale air and improving ventilation inside the garage.

Natural Air Filtration: The cooling pads efficiently filter out dust, pollutants, and other particles, ensuring that the air inside the garage remains cleaner, even when car engines are running.

Humidity Control: By adding moisture to the air, evaporative cooling prevents dryness, reducing dust and static electricity, which can be particularly helpful for work on sensitive materials or equipment.

No Recirculation: As a result, the continuous influx of fresh air helps keep the indoor environment clean and fresh, which is particularly beneficial in garages that house heavy equipment or chemicals.

Healthier Work Environment: Evaporative cooling reduces respiratory irritation, enhances comfort, and increases working productivity.

Wasel Car Testing Facility (RTA)

Wasel Car Testing Facility in the UAE faced productivity issues and staff health concerns due to extreme heat and lack of cooling, as traditional air conditioning wasn’t feasible in their semi-open building. They installed ten Breezair TBA 550 evaporative coolers, providing spot cooling for car testing lines and maintenance workstations. The system uses 100% fresh air, improving comfort without overpressurizing the space. Since installation, staff morale, productivity, and health have improved significantly. Breezair’s evaporative cooling system was the ideal solution for the semi-open environment, offering effective, energy-efficient cooling.

Case studies hangars and garages

Cooling large, open spaces like garages and hangars can be challenging for conventional air conditioning due to their size, the need for proper ventilation, and high energy costs. Adiabatic cooling, however, is an ideal solution for such environments. It works well in semi-open areas by blowing 100% fresh air while extracting stale air. Adiabatic coolers have low energy consumption, using only water as a refrigerant and minimal electricity. Premium models, like Seeley International’s Climate Wizard, offer high cooling capacity with excellent energy efficiency, achieving a high COP of up to 19.

Evaporative Cooling Applications

Evaporative air conditioning has a wide range of industrial cooling applications

Evaporative cooling is highly effective in garages and showrooms, where maintaining a consistent temperature is crucial for both equipment performance and comfort, especially when doors are frequently opened and closed. By supplying 100% fresh, filtered outside air, this system significantly enhances ventilation, improves Indoor Air Quality, and reduces pollutant levels. It efficiently manages heat, creating an optimal environment for mechanical operations while ensuring a comfortable space for both occupants and machinery, even when car engines are running.

The evaporative air conditioning unit is a cost-effective cooling solution, ideal for industries, factories, warehouses, and large-format retail spaces. It provides efficient cooling while using up to 80% less energy than refrigerated systems, making it particularly effective in high-traffic areas where doors are frequently opened and closed.

Evaporative cooling is well-suited for various sectors, including technical cooling, textiles, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and commercial spaces, as it provides numerous benefits for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). These include continuous fresh air circulation, natural air filtration through cooling pads, and the reduction of pollutants, dust, and odors. By adding moisture to the air, it helps control humidity, preventing dryness, dust, and static electricity. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, evaporative cooling doesn’t recirculate air, preventing the buildup of harmful gases. This results in a healthier work environment, enhancing comfort, reducing respiratory irritation, and increasing worker productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are evaporative air conditioners good for supporting healthy buildings?

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.

Does water temperature affect the cooling capacity?

A high inlet water temperature does not have a marked effect on the supply temperature of Seeley International’s evaporative air conditioners.

Is evaporative cooling suitable for open/semi-open spaces?

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.

Will the evaporative air conditioner increase humidity in the building?

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.

Do evaporative air conditioners need relief air openings in the building?

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.
