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.
Specializing in industrial air coolers (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 higher the value, the greater the cooling effect
The higher the value, the greater the cooling effect
The higher the value, 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.
