Direct Evaporative Coolers
Features and Benefits
Harness the power of Direct Evaporative Cooling
Efficient, sustainable air comfort for Industrial and Commercial spaces
A direct evaporative cooler by Seeley International is an energy-efficient and eco-friendly solution that cools air by passing it through water-saturated pads. As a result, the water evaporates and absorbs heat, thereby lowering the air temperature. Compared to traditional air conditioning, this method uses up to 75% less energy and additionally introduces beneficial humidity to dry environments.
Therefore, it is ideal for hot, arid climates and provides a continuous supply of fresh, filtered air. Moreover, with low installation and maintenance costs, direct evaporative cooling is both cost-effective and sustainable. Thanks to its simple design and natural cooling process, it stands out as a reliable choice for commercial and industrial applications.
Benefits
- Energy-efficient cooling using natural water evaporation, reducing electricity consumption.
- Cost-effective operation with lower utility bills compared to traditional AC.
- Environmentally friendly, no refrigerants or compressors involved.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality increasing ventilation rates and using 100% fresh outside air.
- Simple design allows easy installation and straightforward maintenance (cleaning/replacing pads).
How do Direct Evaporative Coolers work?
A direct evaporative cooler uses water evaporation to naturally lower air temperature. Specifically, warm air passes through wet pads, where evaporation absorbs heat and cools the air. Afterwards, a fan circulates this cool air throughout commercial and industrial spaces.
The process involves key components such as evaporative pads that hold water and a fan that distributes airflow. In comparison to traditional air conditioning, this method is highly energy-efficient, using far less electricity. As a result, it is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Overall, its simplicity and sustainability make direct evaporative cooling a versatile solution for keeping comfortable indoor temperatures across various settings.

Evaporative Cooling Frequently Asked Questions
- Evaporative air 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 coolers.
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 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 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 coolers are used widely in industrial and commercial settings 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 coolers 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 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 coolers are much healthier than refrigerated air conditioning.
