Evapco had an exciting fourth quarter of 2017, and they used the 2018 AHR Expo to build upon that success.

At the EVAPCO 2017 Global Sales Conference, the company gave away a new Tesla Model S75 to one of the sales representatives in attendance.

It is estimated that HVAC systems account for approximately 40 percent of the energy used in commercial buildings, which is why many building owners and managers are looking for ways to cut these costs. One way to do that may be to utilize evaporative cooling systems, which can be relatively inexpensive to purchase and often require much less energy than other forms of cooling.

The scale of energy consumption may be more of a surprise, though, as estimates show that data center spaces can consume up to 100-200 times as much electricity as standard office spaces. With that large amount of power being used by a growing number of data centers, the pressure is on to implement energy-efficient design measures that can save money and reduce electricity use.

Each portable evaporative cooler unit includes a digital display to control fan speed, oscillation, cooling on-off, low water level, and a 24-hour timer. This cooler is ETL-approved and only uses 110 V and 4 A at 60 Hz. 

According to a recent study from BSRIA, data center traffic is expected to grow at a 23 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR), reaching 8.6 zettabytes by 2018. That means a lot of new data centers will be popping up around the country. Cooling these data centers is an energy-intensive endeavor.

This induced-draft counterflow cooler features an evaporative fluid cooler flexible enough to meet a range of cooling needs. Process fluid is cooled by recirculating water that flows over the outside of heat transfer coils as air induced through the cooler evaporates a small portion of the recirculating water.
