what is an evaporative system?
Evaporative air conditioning is a cooling only system
It works by drawing in fresh air that passes over wet pads, then ducting in the roof space disperses the air, cooling and moisturising your home
Evaporative systems work by air movement, so windows and doors
should be kept open to allow air flow. The air in your home is replaced
every 2-3 minutes.
The most impressive feature of evaporative air conditioning compared
to refrigerated systems is the price. Even the biggest evaporative units are a fraction of the price of a comparable refrigerated unit. But the big savings come with the running costs – the largest residential evaporative air conditioning unit uses less power than a standard refrigerated wall unit that cools just your living room.
No more of the “it’s not hot enough to turn on the air-con”
– with evaporative air conditioning you can run the unit
24 hours a day for around the cost of running a
refrigerated unit for just one hour!
Pros
Cheaper than reverse cycle ducted to purchase, install and run
Environmentally friendly - low electricity use and naturally adds moisture to the air in the home with no greenhouse gases
Dust and pollen removed from the air by filter pads
Low noise production as unit is placed on the roof
Cons
System requires a supply of water to function
Consistent supply of outside air required
High humidity or rain reduces efficiency
Not all allergens are removed from air by filters
Requires regular cleaning of pads, screens, blades and nozzles to avoid build up of mould
