Air conditioner pre-cooling: Improving air conditioner efficiency, environmental impact and occupant health and wellbeing

In Australia’s hot climate, commercial HVAC units often perform at their worst. When the outside air temperature exceeds 30°C, HVAC units must work extremely hard to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the building. Even at this relatively low temperature, a standard air-conditioning unit is not very efficient resulting in higher energy costs and emissions. One of the most effective ways to improve the efficiency of commercial air-conditioning is through the use of evaporative pre-cooling systems.

Air Conditioner Pre-cooling: Improving Air Conditioner Efficiency, Environmental Impact and Occupant Health and Wellbeing is in an essential guide to evaporative pre-cooling and how it can be implemented on commercial air-conditioning systems to improve sustainability, costs and occupant comfort. First, we explain how outside temperatures impact the performance of air-conditioning systems. We then discuss the concept of evaporative pre-cooling, and how it can optimise air conditioner efficiency. We also look at the difference between misting and irrigation systems before considering the environmental, economic and health benefits of an effective pre-cooling solution.

Mistafog provides misting systems for cost-effective cooling for all commercial applications. Systems are specialised to control heat, humidity, odour, outdoor cooling and misting services for the commercial, hospitality, agricultural and industrial sectors. Their Mistafog CoilCool system utilises high pressure technology to offer an effective pre-cooling misting system.
