Industrial evaporative cooling

Well-balanced humidity for the graphic, plastic, and packaging industry 

Humidity can have a detrimental effect on materials such as paper and plastic, which may raise concerns for the use of evaporative cooling in the graphic and plastic industry. However, a two-stage evaporative cooling system ensures that humidity levels remain low and minimizes the chances of material deformation, as well as static charge and high dust load. Furthermore, two-stage evaporative cooling ensures a well-balanced humidity which prevents condensation on cooled molds, making it an optimal cooling solution for the packaging industry. 

Food safety and hygiene ensured with Oxycom’s patented two-stage evaporative cooling

Food safety is the top priority in the food industry. As evaporative cooling uses fresh air to cool, some raise the concern that this evaporative/adiabatic process is unhygienic and could contain all kinds of bacteria and fungi. Not in the least because the air flows through a wetted pad through in the evaporative process - an ideal breeding ground for fungi and bacteria. However, to prevent fungi and bacteria from getting into the airstream that is blown into the production hall, the pads in the two-stage IntrCooll evaporative cooling system are completely dried every 24 hours, resulting in a total bio-shock and killing off everything that has nestled itself in the pad. 

Moreover, the IntrCooll uses the patented Oxyvap® pad made of aluminum and coated with an antibacterial silver ion layer which prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi. This allows our systems to be VDI 6022 hygiene certified. Additionally, a UVC water disinfection system can be added to the IntrCooll installation. This way, Oxycom’s two-stage evaporative cooling system ensures optimal hygiene within production facilities and buildings.
