Direct Evaporative Coolers
The Enemy of Inefficiency
Record PUE
Water evaporation replaces energy-intensive compressors for a leading 1.0x PUE in suitable climates.
Hydro Efficiency
Advanced media and control strategies maximize saturation effectiveness, getting the most cooling out of every drop of water.
Ready to Scale
The most cost-effective method for cooling massive square footage, designed with modularity for rapid deployment.
Direct Evaporative Cooler (DEC)
Our DEC delivers ultra-efficient mechanical cooling for hyper scale facilities in arid climates by using water evaporation to cool large volumes of filtered outside air, maintaining ideal operating temperatures at a fraction of the electrical load of traditional compressor-based systems.
Benefits & Features
Sustainability at Scale
At this scale, the smallest details can have the biggest impact on your bottom line. Our DECs fight for every decimal place of your performance stats – PUE, water usage, carbon footprint, and more.
- Lowest Possible PUE - Achieves extremely low PUE (1.0x) in suitable climates by replacing energy-intensive compressors with water evaporation.
- Sustainable Operation - Significantly lowers the facility’s carbon footprint by reducing electrical demand on the grid.
- Fresh Air Supply - Improves indoor air quality by utilizing 100% outside air, preventing the buildup of heat and contaminants.
- Hyperscale Scalability - The most cost-effective method for cooling massive square footage, designed with modularity for rapid deployment.
- Water Efficiency - Utilizes advanced media and control strategies to maximize saturation effectiveness, getting the most cooling out of every drop of water.
