Dissecting the very art of Evaporative Cooling
Understanding Evaporative Cooling: How It Works
As water evaporates, it absorbs energy from the surrounding air, causing the air temperature to drop—this is the art of evaporative cooling.
Two key temperatures help explain this process:
Dry Bulb Temperature
This is the regular air temperature, measured by a standard thermometer exposed to airflow. It doesn’t factor in humidity.
Wet Bulb Temperature
This is the lowest temperature air can reach through the evaporation of water alone.
It indicates the maximum potential for evaporative cooling. The greater the difference between dry and wet bulb temperatures, the more effective the cooling process.
Humidity and Its Role in Evaporative Cooling
Evaporation occurs when humidity is below 100%—meaning the air still has room to absorb moisture.
Air acts like a sponge: if it’s only 50% saturated, it can absorb more water, enhancing the cooling process.
The Science Behind Energy Transfer
Evaporative cooling is an adiabatic process—as water changes from liquid to vapor, it draws energy from the air.
This reduces the dry bulb temperature and cools your space naturally.
How Does an Evaporative Air Conditioner Work?
Evaporative coolers, like the Breezair, use a simple, efficient system:
A pump circulates water onto cooling pads.
A fan draws outside air through the wet pads.
As air passes through, it’s cooled by evaporation and delivered into your home.
Effective cooling requires:
Fully saturated pads
A well-sized fan and motor for optimal airflow
Why Choose Breezair?
The Breezair Icon Series is Adelaide’s most efficient and quietest evaporative air conditioning solution.
It uses up to 90% less electricity than refrigerated systems and 40% less than standard ducted evaporative systems.
