Industrial Evaporative Coolers

Industrial evaporative coolers for warehouses and industrial facilities

Our flagship product, industrial evaporative coolers, is a cost-effective, high-airflow cooling solution for industrial environments. Since 1983, Premier Industries, Inc. has designed and built heavy-duty units engineered for long service life, harsh conditions, and real-world performance.

Industrial spaces run hot. When heat builds up, workers fatigue faster, equipment can overheat, and output suffers. Industrial evaporative cooling helps lower temperatures while delivering high volumes of fresh air at a lower operating cost than many traditional refrigerated systems, especially in hot, dry climates.

Industrial Evaporative Cooler Benefits

  • High airflow: standard models rated from 1,000 CFM to 60,000 CFM (actual air delivered)
  • Lower operating costs: energy-efficient cooling method compared to many compressor-based systems in the right climate
  • Fresh air ventilation: promotes air exchange in large spaces
  • Industrial durability: stainless steel construction and rugged structural framing options
  • Flexible installs: side, down, and up discharge configurations

Industrial Evaporative Coolers at PIEC

Evaporative coolers lower air temperature using the natural process of water evaporation. Instead of relying on heavy refrigeration and refrigerants, evaporative cooling uses water and airflow to absorb heat from incoming air. In dry climates, it can also add comfortable moisture to overly dry indoor air. In more humid regions, indirect evaporative approaches may still be a fit depending on the application and design requirements.

The cooling effect depends on temperature and humidity. Think of how sweating cools your skin. As water evaporates, it pulls heat from its surroundings. That same adiabatic effect is what makes evaporative cooling work in large industrial settings.

If you need quality industrial swamp coolers, Premier Industries, Inc. offers systems engineered for heavy-duty environments, including:

  • Stainless steel construction
  • High efficiency 12” rigid cooling media
  • A rugged C-channel frame with a vibration isolation system
  • Standard models rated from 1,000 CFM to 60,000 CFM (actual air delivered)
  • Options for larger units
  • Custom-designed units for almost any application
  • Forward curve or backward incline blowers for high volume and high static pressure
  • A wide range of accessories
  • Side, down, and up discharge configurations
  • 10-year rust-through warranty (a Premier Industries, Inc. exclusive)

Where Industrial Evaporative Cooling Works Best

Industrial evaporative coolers are a strong fit for large spaces that need high airflow and practical temperature reduction. They are commonly used in warehouses, manufacturing plants, loading bays, fabrication shops, hangars, agricultural facilities, and other high-heat work areas.

They perform best in low-humidity climates, where evaporation is most effective. If your environment runs humid, we can help you evaluate whether direct evaporative, indirect evaporative, or a hybrid approach makes sense for your facility.

Sizing and Configuration: Get the Airflow Right

Sizing is everything. The right unit depends on your facility volume, heat load, ventilation needs, and duct/static pressure requirements. PIEC builds industrial models for both high volume and higher static pressure applications using forward curve or backward incline blowers.

Industrial Evaporative Coolers: Options

Excess heat in a facility can reduce production quality and hurt output. High temperatures contribute to fatigue, cramps, and lower concentration. Historically, many buildings relied on open doors, fans, and ventilation alone, but that can introduce dust, insects, and inconsistent comfort. Evaporative cooling is often a better solution when you need consistent airflow and practical temperature reduction.

We offer multiple discharge configurations and accessory options so your system fits the way your facility operates. If you need help selecting an approach, our team can walk through airflow targets and installation constraints with you.

Built for Industrial Abuse: Materials, Media, and Serviceability

Industrial equipment should not be delicate. PIEC systems are engineered for demanding environments with stainless steel construction and rugged framing. When maintenance is required, serviceability matters. We support long-term ownership with replacement parts and media options, including:

Water quality and routine maintenance play a big role in performance and longevity. If you want to go deeper, these resources may help: water quality and evaporative cooling performance.

Cooling Professionals You Can Rely On

Industrial evaporative coolers and swamp coolers can provide efficient cooling by using heat in the air to drive evaporation. For additional technical HVAC guidance, ASHRAE is a leading standards organization: ASHRAE.

Industrial Evaporative Cooler FAQs

How do industrial evaporative coolers work?

They pull warm outside air through water-saturated media. As water evaporates, it absorbs heat and lowers the air temperature. A blower then supplies cooled air to the space.

What is the best climate for evaporative cooling?

Hot, dry climates are ideal because evaporation is more effective when humidity is lower. In higher humidity areas, indirect evaporative or hybrid approaches may still work depending on the application.

How do I choose the right CFM for my facility?

CFM depends on building volume, heat load, number of air changes needed, and any duct/static pressure requirements. Use our Graphs & Specs page and contact us for selection help.

What maintenance do industrial evaporative coolers need?

Typical maintenance includes inspecting pumps and distribution, managing water quality, cleaning basins, and replacing media when needed. We offer replacement media and wet sections.
