According to the EPA’s Engineering and Research Laboratory, using ventilation exhaust in industrial settings is especially important when considering the impact of manufacturing and synthetic chemicals on the environment. Especially important is the risk to human health that presents itself to industrial workers on a daily basis. Commercial fans help reduce the impact of pollutants for people who work around welding, blasting, grinding, polishing, solvents, dip tanks, oil mists, dusts, or tiny fibers. Exhaust fans draw gasses away from the main source, reduce noise from output, and lower the concentration of emissions from the entire process. A well-designed ventilation system...

We all want to make more money and spend less for certain luxuries. This includes our ability to remain warm when it’s cold outside and cool when it’s hot outside, and evaporative cooling systems offers the solution for all of it. With the ability to keep a home cool as economically and energy efficient as possible, it’s well worth the time to learn about. Evaporative cooling systems are able to nearly always maintain a temperature below 80 degrees F. Many systems are capable of lowering temperatures within a home by as much as 30 degrees. This is significant and allows...

There are units designed specifically for use with existing ductwork. What is the layout of the existing ductwork? Certain units may operate efficiently with current...

Evaporative air cooling offers one of the most energy efficient and economical solutions available on the market today. Offering savings of up to 75% on energy expenses while still being able to provide as much as a 30 degree temperature difference, an evaporative air cooling system is an obvious choice for contractors to offer homeowners looking for green solutions. Another option for homeowners are portable evaporative cooling units. These units allow for easy placement within a home. The evaporative cooling fans draw hot air through a filter which extracts moisture from the air. The moisture, as it builds in an...
