Evaporative Cooling in the Education Sector
Sector: Educational
Problem: High temperatures and high air conditioning costs
University residences require a comfortable environment so that students can rest, study and socialize in optimal conditions. However, in this case, the three-story building presented great challenges:
- High energy consumption due to the use of air conditioning.
- Thermal discomfort in bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms and common areas.
- Negative effects of air conditioning, such as dryness of the environment and respiratory problems.
To guarantee the well-being of students, an efficient and sustainable solution was needed to maintain a temperature of 22ºC on the hottest days, minimizing electricity consumption
ACTION: STUDY AND PROPOSAL OF SOLUTION
Our team conducted an exhaustive analysis of the facilities to determine the best air conditioning strategy. Given that the building has an area of 1,534 m² and a volume of 4,800 m³, it was decided to implement a zonal air conditioning system, ensuring optimal cooling in the areas of greatest use.
Solution: Installation of Hicool evaporative air conditioners
To solve this problem, Hicool Hi20 equipment was installed, with a flow of 20,000 m³/h and advanced control HiControl. This solution allowed to regulate the temperature and humidity according to the needs of the space.
Features of installed air conditioners:
- Air flow: 20,000 m³/h
- Coverage: +250 m² per unit
- Cooling power: 22 kW
- Material: Polypropylene injected + fiberglass with UV protection
This implementation allowed to effectively climate the ground floor and the first floor, ensuring a pleasant atmosphere in bedrooms, living rooms, changing rooms and common areas.

FAQs
No. It is a sustainable system with very low energy consumption and spends up to 80% less than an A/C. For example, for an area of 200 m2 the approximate consumption is 960 W at maximum speed.
between 7 ºC and 20 ºC less than that of outside air. It will depend on the daily weather conditions, mainly on the outside air temperature and its humidity. The hotter and drier the day, the more the evaporative air conditioners will cool down.
Yes, because an overpressure is generated that causes the cold air introduced to leave through the doors and open windows, Renewing the air, eliminating odors and preventing dust from entering the outside.
No, since its maintenance is minimal, due to the automation, they incorporate the equipment, such as an electrolytic detector of water quality, automatic and programmable drainage or automatic duct closure.
The installations are very fast, they would have the operating equipment in a short time and with their capabilities at 100%.
Because it allows you to save time and money, in addition to helping you cover a primary need such as air conditioning for general well-being in your company. Respecting the environment
