As the country begins to “open back up”, the ensuing demand has led to rapidly rising commodity prices. In the last few months, key commodities such as carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum have increased significantly. While we have delayed the onset of this higher-priced material, we must implement a price increase moving forward. We will continue to monitor commodity price increases and advise if further EVAPCO price increases are required. Effective Monday, February 1, 2021, prices for all HVAC and industrial refrigeration products will increase up to eight percent

After struggling with maintenance issues in their open-loop cooling tower system, Utah State University decided to invest in a long-term solution. In the spring of 2019, USU began to explore free cooling options, including EVAPCO’s eco-Air V Dry Cooler, to combat winter operation challenges with their existing field-erected cooling towers. For assistance managing ice formation, heat exchanger maintenance, and water treatment, the University's facilities team contacted Midgley-Huber, the local EVAPCO sales representative in Salt Lake City.

Recreating Discontinued Model Makes for a Smooth Installation Downtown Philadelphia’s Benjamin Franklin House needed an HVAC overhaul but, like most historic buildings, had no room to expand. EVAPCO reached into its archives for the specs of the building’s original cooling tower and created a more powerful, up-to-date version for the same space, making the installation process easier for Elliott-Lewis Corporation. Time for an Upgrade The Benjamin Franklin Hotel—now known as The Franklin Residences or, simply, “The Ben”—was built in 1923. Upgrading historic sites

Physical plant additions required 4,000 tons more cooling, but the school was determined to minimize wastewater and save energy.

Original article at ACHR News “Evaporative cooling — direct, indirect, and two-stage solutions — are being used across the board in a wide variety of commercial and industrial solutions,” said Randy Niederer, director of marketing, Cambridge Engineering. “It is currently experiencing a renaissance, as large manufacturing and distribution facilities are choosing this technology to provide cooling relief for employees.” This renaissance, along with several new technology factors, creates a backdrop for contractors to benefit from the sale of evaporative cooling solutions.

For decades now, evaporative cooling has been the principal means to regulate the temperature of buildings. And with more than 50% of total building water usage dedicated to heat transfer, there are major opportunities for water savings. Enter EVAPCO, a manufacturing company focused on heat transfer applications and a world leader in designing and manufacturing evaporative cooling products. I spoke with Dustin Cohick, Product Manager at EVAPCO, and Josh Boehner, Marketing Applications Engineer, to learn more about heat transfer and how EVAPCO’s technology can save water.
