How Do You Cool A Hotel – The Technology Behind The Scenes

Cooling a hotel is an integral part of proper customer service.  If a guest is hot or uncomfortable, there is a good likelihood that they will not return to your hotel in the future.  The use of a properly installed factory heating and cooling unit can help ensure this is not a problem.

Many hotels have turned to factory cooling systems known as evaporate cooling units as a cost effective means of maintaining comfortable room temperatures.  These units are found most often in hotels in areas that are hot and arid, where they provide a cooling system that uses less energy and requires none of the refrigerant needed by other factory cooling units.

Evaporative Cooling

Evaporative cooling, as the name implies, provides cooling through the evaporation of the moisture in the air outside of the hotel.  The cooling units suck the hot, humid air outside of the hotel into the unit through large, moist pads.  When the air is sucked through the pads, the evaporative process cools the air and a blower forces the now cool air into the rooms of the hotel.  This process allows hotel owners to provide comfortable rooms without adding high energy costs.

Hotels

Hotels rely on these types of factory cooling units because they provide comfortable temperatures throughout the hotel, yet do not have high energy costs associated with them.  This is especially true in areas that are near lakes, rivers, or other bodies of water.  The humidity in the air assists the evaporative cooling unit to provide significantly cooler temperatures without resorting to the use of environmentally unfriendly refrigerants.

The energy efficiency of evaporative cooling systems is also beneficial to hotel owners.  The systems rely on the outside air to work properly, which means the air inside the hotel rooms is always fresh rather than the recycled air that is pumped out by traditional air conditioning units.  The units also use around 75% less electricity than a normal air conditioner, which equates to significant savings for the hotel.  Additionally, the initial cost of purchasing an evaporative cooling system is considerably cheaper than typical air conditioning units, and the size of the systems needed is usually much smaller.

If you are looking for a cost effective, environmentally friendly alternative to air conditioning systems, an evaporative cooling system could be the answer.  The units will provide your guests with the comfort they need, ensuring they will continue to use your amenities.
