Industrial Air Cooler vs. Traditional AC: Which Saves More Energy?

Industrial Air Cooler vs. Traditional AC: Which Saves More Energy?

28 Jul 2025

Industrial evaporative coolers consume ~90% less energy than traditional AC units while cooling large spaces—cutting operational costs by thousands annually.


Energy Efficiency Breakdown

1. Power Consumption Comparison

System Type

Industrial Evaporative Cooler (e.g., Siboly 1.5KW)

Traditional AC (Equivalent Coverage)

Power Usage

1.5 KW

15-20 KW

Cooling Capacity

20,000 CMH (~200 m²)

5-7 Tons (60,000 BTU)

Annual Cost*

$450

$4,500+

Calculations based on 10 hrs/day, $0.15/kWh. Traditional AC requires 3-4x more units for equivalent coverage.

 

2. Technology Differences

· Industrial Air Cooler: Uses water evaporation (85% efficiency) to cool air naturally.

· Traditional AC: Relies on energy-intensive refrigerant compression cycles.

3. Operational Savings

· Industrial Cooler: $0.22/hour to run

· Traditional AC: $2.25+/hour

Facilities cooling 5,000 m² save ~$50,000/year with evaporative systems.
