Evaporative Air Conditioning

Evaporative air conditioning options include portable evaporative coolers for one room or space and ducted evaporative systems for whole of home.

Evaporative cooling is an entirely natural method of cooling, using only air and water - to cool air through the simple principle of evaporation of water.

• Hot air is drawn into the cooler and passes through water-moistened pads or specifically designed cells. 
• Some of the water evaporates, absorbing the heat as it does so, and cools the air.
• A fan then blows this beautifully cooled air throughout the room/house and forces hot air out through open windows and doors.
• Ducted evaporative air conditioning units are normally positioned on the roof with ducting throughout the roof space to direct air into the rooms of the home.

Refrigerated Air Conditioning

Refrigerated air conditioning options include; portable refrigerated air conditioner for one room or space, split systems for one room or space and ducted reverse cycle refrigerated air conditioners for whole of home.

Ducted reverse cycle refrigerated air conditioners consist of a compressor, fan and heat exchange coil and use a refrigerant to cool the air.

• Refrigerated air conditioners have two separate mechanical parts, an outdoor compressor and an indoor unit/fan coil.
• The outdoor compressor unit compresses refrigerant gas into a liquid state to allow the refrigeration effect to take place, exactly the same way as does your home refrigerator.
• The compressed gas is transferred into the indoor unit. 
• The indoor unit basically consists of a fan and a heat exchange coil.
• The fan is connected and then controlled by a room installed thermostat that draws the air from inside the home, passes it through a filter and then recirculates throughout your home approximately 10 times each hour. 
• Ducted refrigerated air conditioning units are normally positioned inside the roof, as well as an inverter unit outside the house (usually on a side wall) with ducting throughout the roof space to direct air into the rooms of the home.

Indirect Evaporative Air Conditioning

Indirect evapoartive air conditioning options include: ducted indirect air conditioning.

Indirect evaporative air conditioning uses a similar method to cool as an evaporative air conditioner, but with an important difference - it doesn't add moisture to the air.

• Indirect evaporative air condnitioners work by hot air passing  along alternating wet and dry channels in the unit.
• The air passing along the wet channels  gains moisture because the channels are continuously wetted with water, however no moisture is transferred across the membranes between the dry and wet channels; only temperature (heat) is transferred.
• The air passing along the dry channels has no added moisture.
• The cool, dry air is then passed into the building via ducts and the hot, wet air expelled outside.
