Indirect Direct Evaporative Cooling (IDEC)
Our patented IDEC systems are an excellent upgrade over conventional air coolers, delivering up to 6°C lower
temperatures and up to 60% lower moisture addition into the space. These 100% fresh air systems are an energy
efficient alternative to conventional air-conditioning, consuming less than half the energy.
Our systems can be customised as per the end user’s requirements and be used in warehouses, reactor rooms,
chemical laboratories, utility areas, reactor rooms and common areas like reception, canteen etc.

5. Space and process cooling for controlled environments
Indirect Evaporative Based Hybrid Air-Conditioning (FAAC)
In applications that require controlled temperature and humidity, indirect evaporative cooling can be combined with
air-conditioning coils (Cw/Dx). This hybrid air-conditioner operates in multiple cooling modes, depending on the
season, and deliver the desired cooling with minimal energy consumption.
FAAC units can be used in variety of applications such as, finished goods warehouses, once-through cooling in
laboratories and production areas, control panel rooms and offices.

6. Pre-cooled treated fresh air for energy efficiency
Pre-Cooling Units (PCU)
Some amount of fresh air needs to be pumped into air-conditioned spaces to maintain a required level of IAQ (Indoor
Air Quality). Similarly, for various process requirements (once-through applications), 100% fresh and conditioned air is
required. HMX-PCU uses the heat exchanger DAMA to pre-cool the fresh air supplied to treated fresh air units (TFA),
air-conditioned spaces or air handling units in the most economical manner, thereby reducing the load on the
compressors. It can be used in air conditioned industrial and commercial spaces.
▪ Significant reduction in
energy consumption for
make-up fresh air cooling,
compared to other fresh air
handling technologies
