Efficient cooling for restaurants and commercial kitchens
With low running costs, evaporative cooling is the perfect solution when conventional air conditioning is not an option
Restaurant air conditioning
Seeley International’s Restaurant Air Conditioning Units offer a highly efficient and sustainable solution to maintain optimal temperatures in restaurant environments. Specifically designed for foodservice spaces, these advanced air conditioning systems provide precise temperature control while reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact.
Installing a fixed air conditioning system in your restaurant ensures a stable, comfortable environment for both staff and guests, protecting food quality and enhancing the dining experience, without allowing exhaust air and odors recirculation. This system not only improves the comfort of your restaurant but also delivers significant long-term savings. By using an energy-efficient, eco-friendly cooling solution, you can enhance the sustainability of your operations, reduce energy costs, and lower your environmental footprint.
Discover how this innovative solution can boost your restaurant’s efficiency, enhance guest comfort, and support a more sustainable operation.

Restaurant IAQ Benefits
Fresh Air Circulation: It continuously brings in fresh air from outside, reducing the buildup of stagnant, stale air in commercial kitchens.
Natural Air Filtration: The cooling pads filter out dust, grease, and other contaminants, ensuring cleaner air in the kitchen environment.
Reduction of Pollutants and Odors: Fresh air helps dilute indoor pollutants, cooking fumes, and odors, improving air quality in the kitchen.
Humidity Control: Our hyper-efficient indirect evaporative cooling system lowers temperatures without adding moisture to the air, preventing excess humidity.
No Recirculation: Unlike traditional HVAC systems, it doesn’t recirculate air, helping to avoid the buildup of harmful gases and kitchen contaminants.
Healthier Kitchen Environment: Cleaner, cooler, and properly humidified air promotes a more comfortable, productive, and safer atmosphere for kitchen staff.

Harness the power of Evaporative cooling
McDonald's Restaurant Case Study
The McDonald’s restaurant in Blackwater struggled with cooling its kitchen, where heat from both the kitchen and the sun made the environment uncomfortable. Typically, cooling systems in such kitchens require larger refrigerated air conditioners to compensate for the cooled air extracted by kitchen exhaust hoods. However, the restaurant opted for Climate Wizard Stand Alone Cooling. This system efficiently cooled the fresh air extracted by the exhaust hoods, offering a more energy-efficient alternative to traditional refrigerated systems. By using Climate Wizard, the restaurant was able to install a smaller refrigerated system, maintaining similar capital costs as one large system would have required. The result was an immediate 10% reduction in running costs and a short payback period for the new installation, significantly improving energy efficiency and cost savings.

Evaporative cooling is highly effective for restaurant air conditioning and commercial kitchens cooling, where maintaining a consistent temperature is essential for product quality and staff comfort. It enhances indoor air quality by supplying 100% fresh, filtered outside air, improving ventilation and reducing CO2 and VOC levels, preventing the recirculation of stale and exhaust air, full of odors and fumes. This system ensures an optimal environment for food processing environments while efficiently managing heat and humidity, creating a comfortable space for both staff and products.
Click on each application to explore the specific benefits for industrial cooling!
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
- 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.
