Evaporative Cooling Installation In Melbourne

Evaporative air conditioning for suitable Melbourne homes.

  • Draws outdoor air through water-moistened cooling pads
  • Needs suitable open windows, doors or designed exhaust paths
  • Cooling performance depends on outdoor temperature and humidity
  • Uses electricity and water; running costs vary with the equipment and use

How Evaporative Cooling Works

A fan draws outdoor air through wet cooling pads and supplies it to the home through ducts. The air is cooled by evaporation and must have a path back outside. Suitable ventilation openings are part of normal operation, rather than simply an optional way to use the system.

Direct evaporative cooling generally works best in hot, dry conditions. Its cooling effect reduces as outdoor humidity rises, and it adds moisture to the incoming air. A controller does not guarantee the same room temperature control as refrigerated air conditioning.

It provides cooling, not reverse cycle heating. Compare it with ducted reverse cycle air conditioning if you need heating and cooling from one system. See Seeley International’s explanation of evaporative operation.

Outdoor Air and Ventilation

A direct evaporative cooler supplies cooled outdoor air rather than recirculating indoor air. Adequate exhaust openings are needed to maintain airflow; the required openings depend on the system and layout.

Electricity and Water Use

Electricity use can be lower than refrigerated cooling in suitable conditions, but there is no universal percentage saving. Compare the selected model, operating conditions, electricity use, water use and maintenance requirements.

Noise Depends on the Installation

Fan speed, equipment selection, duct design and mounting affect noise. Compare the manufacturer’s sound information and consider bedrooms, neighbouring properties and outdoor unit location.

Maintenance Matters

Cooling pads, water components and the cabinet need maintenance in line with the owner’s manual. Arrange servicing and seasonal shutdown or start-up work as required for the selected system.

Whole-Home Airflow

Outlet placement and ventilation paths determine how cooled air moves through the home. The system needs to be sized and designed for the rooms served and the conditions in which it will operate.
