How Many Exhaust Fans Does a Workshop Need?
Choosing the right number of exhaust fans is one of the first questions when planning ventilation for a factory, workshop or warehouse. A common mistake is to calculate fan quantity from floor area alone. In reality, the required number of fans depends on several...
What Is Wet-Bulb Temperature and Why Does It Matter for Evaporative Cooling?
If you are evaluating an industrial evaporative cooler, you will eventually encounter the term wet-bulb temperature. It is one of the most useful concepts for understanding what evaporative cooling can realistically achieve. Dry-Bulb vs. Wet-Bulb Temperature The...
Why Adding Ice Doesn’t Necessarily Make an Evaporative Cooler Colder
When people first encounter evaporative cooling, a natural assumption is that colder water should produce colder air. That leads to a common idea: "Why not add ice to the cooler?" The problem is that evaporative cooling does not primarily depend on making the water...
EC Exhaust Fans for Negative Pressure Ventilation: How Do They Work?
Introduction An EC exhaust fan can be used as part of a negative-pressure ventilation system when its airflow, pressure capability, construction and control functions are appropriate for the application. The basic principle remains the same as conventional...
Why Does an Evaporative Air Cooler Blow Air but Not Cool Enough?
An evaporative air cooler can be running normally, moving a large volume of air, and still fail to provide the cooling effect a factory expects. This does not necessarily mean the cooler is defective. Evaporative cooling depends on several factors working together,...
Fixed/Ducted vs. Portable Industrial Air Coolers
Not every building needs the same type of evaporative cooler. For industrial and commercial applications, two common approaches are fixed/ducted cooling and portable spot cooling. Fixed / ducted industrial air coolers Fixed systems are installed in a planned location...
How Cooling-Pad Size Affects Evaporative Cooling
The cooling pad is one of the most important components in an evaporative cooling system. Its job is to provide a large wet surface through which incoming air can pass. Why the pad matters Water needs to evaporate into the passing air. A properly designed pad provides...

How to Ventilate and Cool a Layer Poultry House in Hot Weather
Why Summer Ventilation Matters in Layer Houses Layer poultry houses can experience significant environmental challenges during hot weather. High temperatures, high stocking density, humidity and insufficient airflow can create heat-stress conditions and affect...
How to Ventilate and Cool an Enclosed Pig House
Why Enclosed Pig Houses Need Controlled Ventilation Enclosed pig houses provide greater control over the production environment, but they also reduce the amount of natural air exchange available to the animals. During hot weather, heat and moisture can accumulate...
EC vs. Traditional AC Exhaust Fans: What Is the Difference?
Introduction Traditional AC exhaust fans have been widely used in factories, warehouses, workshops and agricultural buildings for many years. They are simple, robust and familiar to most facility managers. EC exhaust fans take a different approach. Instead of relying...
Negative Pressure Ventilation: How Does It Work?
Negative pressure ventilation is a simple and effective way to control airflow through a large building. In simple terms, exhaust fans remove air from the building, creating a slight pressure difference that draws replacement air in through designated openings. The...
Evaporative Cooling for Dairy Barns: Cooling Pads, Exhaust Fans & Ventilation
Heat stress can have a significant impact on dairy cattle. When temperatures and humidity rise, cattle have more difficulty releasing body heat, which can affect feed intake, comfort, health and milk production. Good ventilation and effective cooling are therefore...
