Principle of adiabatic air conditioning

Evaporative cooling” or “bioclimatization

The principle goes by various names, but it’s very simple to understand: it simply involves passing hot air through a stream of water.

Specialized in industrial air conditioning (particularly in Lyon), Foxair offers professionals a perfectly ecological solution for cooling their premises. Our appliances are based on the principle of adiabatic cooling, a natural phenomenon.

Adiabatic cooling is based on evaporation

When a stream of warm air crosses a humid surface, the water molecules become vapor, causing evaporation. The warmer the temperature, the drier the atmosphere. This mechanically cools and humidifies the air.

So, for example, if warm air passes through a humid cloud, or comes into contact with a large surface of water (sea, ocean, large lake, etc.), it cools and moistens, reducing its temperature by several degrees.

Three factors influence final cooling:

the size of the water surface: the larger the water surface, the greater the cooling effect;
surface air flow rate: the greater the flow rate, the greater the cooling effect;
ambient air temperature: the higher the temperature, the greater the cooling effect.

An alternative to traditional air conditioning

The Foxair range uses this natural principle. A fan of varying width – depending on the model chosen – pulses warm air from the room through the machine. This contains a water tank (holding between 135 and 300 liters). The propelled air comes into contact with the water, causing it to cool instantly. When it comes out of the machine, it is naturally fresher and moister.

This system represents an interesting alternative to air conditioning. Contact us for a quotation and to equip your company’s premises.
