Usha Die Casting Industries (Industrial Equipment Division)" offers Well Engineered proven Designs and Constructions for Evaporative Cooling Wet Ventilation Systems /
Air Washers. Humidification is rapidly gaining importance in many industries. The requirements of modern high-speed production techniques and increases in internal plant heat loads often result in the need for better control of humidity levels in the plant environment. Many industries face stringent indoor air quality standards. Meeting these standards can often require bringing more outside air into the plant. If this outside air is dry or cold the result can be much lower indoor humidity levels. We undertake Design, Supply, Erection and commissioning of Equipment and Project of Industrial Humidification and Ventilation systems on turnkey basis. We can offer such Systems in Completely Modular & Pre Fabricated Constructions or in Civil Constructed Chambers with installed Modular System Components.
Operation of a Wet Ventilation System / Air Washer :- The basic components of an Air Washer system is a chamber that contain a series of
- Evaporative Cooling Pads with Top Water Spray System
- An eliminator section that removes water from the air that is exiting the Air washer
- Sump which catches both the sprinkled water droplets and the water that was collected by the eliminators.
The Evaporative Cooling Pad section will either add moisture to the air or dehumidify the air. The eliminator section in many cases is a "W" or a series of "W"s in shape. This section, forces the air to contact the eliminator components, which in turn knocks down water droplets and air borne solids. The sump is the collection basin for the system. The washed out solids, lint, dust, and water all collect in this area.An air washer will humidify the air during the seasons when the outside air is low in humidity. This is usually during the Peak Summer / In arid climates. The reason that the air is humidified, is to create the proper condition for the operation of the plant. In the production of Textiles, Electronics, and other related industries, where the humidity of the air is crucial for the air quality and material production, the Air Washer will balance the required humidity of the plant air by humidifying the air during the dry seasons, and dehumidifying the air when the air conditions are more humid than the plant requires. With evaporative cooling, a complete air change of the room takes place. This offers a great health advantage over traditional refrigerated air conditioning, which employs a complicated "closed" system that recirculates the same stale dry air over and over. Constant cool air movement pushes heat out -- along with stale air, smoke, odors and pollution. The high volume of fresh, cool air produced by the evaporative cooler helps your body ventilate naturally .Evaporative cooling helps maintain natural humidity level.

PreFabricated Wet Ventilation Chamber / Civil Constructed Chamber as per Our Design :-PreFabricated Chamber is supplied in case of Space Limitations / Time Limitatons for Project Completion or on Specific Request from Customer. The Chamber is either completely fabricated or supplied in form of Panels for Site Assembly and Erection. In either case Heavy Gauge Steel is used with additional Double Coats of Red Oxide Primer and Two Coats of Epoxy Based Colour. In special cases chambers made of SS or lined with FRP are also supplied for long Life. These are well fabricated to prevent any leakages after final assembly. Civil Constructed Chambers are more suitable for Long Life and Sturdy Operation. These are usually built by Customer as per Designs / Drawings provided by us. These are generally large rooms having ample space for maintenance and other daily operational activities.
Inlet Bird Screen :-Welded Wire Mesh Screens are provided either before Inlet Screening Louvers or before Inlet MicroV PreFilters. The Screen prevents Birds or any other unauthorized personnel to Tamper / Damage the Pre Filters or the System in General. The screen is made in Steel Flat Panels and is very easy to mount in Bolted Design.
Inlet Screen Louveres :- Z Section Louvers are made in Modular Bolted Panels mounted just before MicroV PreFilters. These help protect the MicroV Prefilters from Atmospheric Dust / Rains / Direct Sunlight and any physical Tampering from Outside of System. Louvers are made from Medium Gauge Steel and fabricated to be Light in weight to facilitate easy Installations.
Inlet MicroV PreFilters :-Generally Inlet MicroV PreFilters are provided for screening large dust particles in the range of 50 Microns to 15 Microns depending upon applications. The Inlet MicroVPrefilters are of HDPE Construction. These can be supplied in frames of different materials of constructions like MS / SS / Aluminum. All Filters come in standard sizes and interchangeable. Each filter is provided with Rubber Gaskets, Fasteners if required for Flange Types. Sliding type arrangements are also available. These filters are washable in case they get choked with dirt & dust.
Primary MicroV Filters :-Generally Primary MicroV PreFilters are provided for screening dust particles in the range of 10 Microns to 5 Microns depending upon applications. The Primary MicroVFilters are HDPE Construction. These can be supplied in frames of different materials of constructions like MS / SS / Aluminum. All Filters come in standard sizes and interchangeable. Each filter is provided with Rubber Gaskets, Fasteners if required for Flange Types. Sliding type arrangements are also available. These filters are washable in case they get choked with dirt & dust.
Secondary MicroV Filters :-Generally Secondary MicroV Filters are provided for screening dust particles in the range of 3 Microns to 2 Microns depending upon applications. The use of these filters increases the Pressure Drop of the System causing more higher size selection & power consumption of Fan Equipment and thereby increasing the system capital cost and running cost. The Secondary MicroVFilters are HDPE Construction. These can be supplied in frames of different materials of constructions like MS / SS / Aluminum. All Filters come in standard sizes and interchangeable. Each filter is provided with Rubber Gaskets, Fasteners if required for Flange Types. Sliding type arrangements are also available. These filters are washable in case they get choked with dirt & dust.
Evaporative Cooling Pads :-The Evaporative Cooling Pad / Media is cellulose material impregnated with insoluble anti-rot salts and rigidify saturates. The material has spatial crossing linking technology with high absorb ability. It is water resistant, anti-mildew and has long service life. Internal geometry of Cooling Pads is of transverse 45 degree and 15 degree alternating Flutes. The 45 degree flute carries the water to the Intake side of the media while the 15 degree flute is aligned with the direction of air flow. This flute arrangement is self-cleaning and increases cooling efficiency by causing air turbulence while air is traveling through the media. The media must be installed in a proper orientation to the air flow. The 45 degree flute must be aligned upwards in the direction of the air flow (intake side of the flute must be lower than the discharge side) and the 15 degree flute must be aligned downwards with the air flow (intake side of the flute must be higher than the discharge side). If the media is aligned improperly, the water will flow to the discharge side of the media and can be easily entrained in the air flow. Efficiency of Evaporative Cooling media is upto 90% at 2.5 m/sec face velocity for 300 mm Media depth. Life expectancy is dependent upon many factors but is usually 3 to5 years when properly maintained and water pH is between 6 and 8.
Cooling Efficiency :- Cooling efficiency is based on "Saturation Efficiency" (ability to transfer water vapor into the air stream). The two factors to be considered in determining the efficiency of the media are media thickness and air flow face velocity . It is necessary to know the Dry Bulb Temperature and Wet Bulb Temperature entering the media to be able to apply the percent efficiency.
Mist Eliminators :-These are provided after the Evaporative Cooling Media to entrain any carryover water droplets in the Air Stream. The Eliminator section in many cases is a "W" or a series of "W"s in shape.
