Introduction
To understand the evaporative cooling process, lets consider first
the composition of dry air.
Dry air is a mixture of different gases in the following percentages:
Oxygen

Productivity improvement
Reliable research has shown that favourable climatic conditions
in working environment will improve the comfort of the workers
and therefore, the productivity and the quality of the manufactured
goods. According to a NASA report, at 32C the productivity
decrease is 29% (45% at 35C!) and the probability of errors by
operators is three times higher with respect to normal temperature
conditions (15-20C).
Easy installation
ESAC units are self-contained, you only need to install a simple
support frame on the wall or roof, and provide water and electrical
supply.
No special licenses or authorizations from authorities, etc. are
required to install an evaporative cooler.
Pure air
Air is filtered through the alveolar panels, then it is conveyed into the
premises to be cooled.
Simple maintenance
Maintenance is very simple as it basically consists of cleaning the
water tank, replacing the CELDEK pads and grease fan bearings
once a year.
Best quality
Munters ESAC is a high quality, long lasting, high efficiency unit.
Corrosion-resistant unit casing (epoxy powder coated galvanized
steel, AISI 304 stainless steel, plastic).

Water renewal
The water contains a number of soluble mineral salts whose
concentration is measured by the water hardness. During
evaporation only the water molecules transfer to the air stream while
the salts remain in solution in the water. The salt concentration in the
circulating water therefore tends to increase during operation.
It is therefore important to renew the water in the hydraulic circuit
as in the long run an excessive salt concentration could cause scale
deposit on the evaporative panel and decrease the cooling efficiency.
ESAC evaporative coolers are equipped with an automatic water
drain system, so that at every start the unit will be fed with clean
water.
Moreover, the automatic water drain system prevents water
stagnation and the risk of bacterial proliferation.
Canning industries
Manufacturing vapours are quickly removed, keeping an ideal
temperature for the food preservation.
Flour mills
It prevents too dry air from worsening the milling quality.
Plastics industries
Impurities and heat are removed from working areas.

Wood is preserved from excessive dryness. At the same time
manufacturing powders are removed.

Weight loss of the meat caused by excessive heat is decreased or
eliminated.
Manufacturing plants
Heat produced by the machines is removed, thus creating a
comfortable environment for the workers.

coming out of kitchens.
Supermarkets
Comfortable temperature for workers and customers, better food and
fruits preservation.

Installation guidelines
For a correct installation and good performance of evaporative
coolers it is necessary to provide for the extraction of hot air from the
room: in practice the air conditioning works better if a fresh airflow
is introduced in the building while the hot airflow is extracted from
the room.
For this reason we strongly suggest to install evaporative coolers
in combination with air extractors. They have to be placed on the
walls, on the opposite side as to the cool air inlets.
Using air extractors is not mandatory, as a certain amount of air
is naturally extracted by the pressure difference between inside and
outside through openings of proper area on the walls of the room to
be cooled.
It is however strongly recommended to install some extractors, as
this way the maximum airflow and consequentially the best system
efficiency are obtained. Moreover air extractors allow decreasing the
