Cost-Reduction Solutions for Industrial Cooling Systems Using a New Evaporative Cooling and Air-Duct Integration Technology

Abstract

Current cooling systems for large industrial workshops typically rely on fans, air ducts, and evaporative media, but they present significant drawbacks: high costs, ducts occupying valuable space and height, scattered fan placement complicating maintenance, reduced aesthetics, limited humidity control, and short service life of moisture-transfer membranes. These limitations increase expenses, reduce efficiency, and affect production quality, underscoring the need for more economical, efficient, and maintainable solutions. This study investigates optimized fan arrangement, improved air distribution, and the use of durable moisture-transfer materials, designed for easier cleaning and maintenance. System performance was assessed through simulations and laboratory-scale experiments. The results show that the proposed cooling approach enhances cooling efficiency, provides better humidity control, lowers costs and space requirements, and
improves both maintenance convenience and the overall aesthetics of industrial facilities.
