Solutions & Product Series
ICE Western manufactures commercial and industrial evaporative cooling products designed specifically for the low-humidity climates of Western Canada and the Western United States. Evaporative cooling uses the natural process of water evaporation to deliver cooling at a fraction of the energy cost of conventional DX refrigeration — making ICE Western products the sustainable, cost-effective cooling choice for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, arenas, and commercial buildings in dry climates.
Direct Evaporative Coolers
Single-stage evaporative air cooling for industrial and commercial spaces
- High-efficiency cellulose evaporative media — up to 90% saturation efficiency
- Capacities from 3,000 to 60,000+ CFM in rooftop and side-discharge models
- Galvanized and stainless steel cabinet construction for outdoor installation
- Variable-speed EC fan drives for demand-matched airflow
- Recirculating water pump with automatic bleed-off for water quality
- Integrated pre-filter section removes airborne dust before media
Indirect Evaporative Systems
Two-stage indirect-direct evaporative cooling — no moisture added to supply air
- Indirect first stage: cools supply air without adding humidity
- Optional direct second stage for additional sensible cooling capacity
- Suitable for applications requiring dry bulb temperature control
- Combined indirect-direct COP equivalent to conventional DX at 1/3 the energy
- Ideal for data centers, server rooms, and humidity-sensitive manufacturing
- Packaged rooftop and built-up configurations available
Adiabatic Pre-Cooling
Evaporative pre-cooling for air-cooled condensers and DX equipment
- Wet media or atomizing spray pre-cools inlet air to DX condenser coils
- Reduces condensing temperature by 5–15°C on design days
- Boosts DX system capacity and EER in high ambient conditions
- Retrofit installation on existing rooftop units and chillers
- Automatic activation on temperature setpoint — no operator intervention
- Water treatment and bleed-off system prevents scale on condenser coil
Replacement Media & Parts
Evaporative media pads, pumps, and service components
- OEM and universal-fit replacement evaporative media pads
- Cellulose, fiber glass, and rigid plastic media options by application
- Replacement recirculating pumps — all major manufacturers
- Distribution header and nozzle kits for uniform media wetting
- Float valve and water distribution assemblies
- Seasonal startup and media replacement service available
Why Choose ICE Western
Key Advantages
Fraction of DX Energy
Evaporative coolers use up to 80% less energy than conventional DX refrigeration cooling — dramatically reducing summer operating costs in facilities where dry-climate evaporative cooling is applicable.
Natural Cooling Process
No refrigerant, no compressor — just water and airflow. Evaporative cooling is the simplest, most reliable cooling technology with minimal moving parts and straightforward maintenance.
Sustainable Operation
Evaporative cooling uses water as the working fluid — no HFCs, no global warming potential, and carbon emissions a fraction of conventional refrigeration cooling for the same delivered BTUs.
Western Canada Optimized
ICE Western products are engineered for the specific climate conditions of Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba — where summer dry bulb temperatures and low relative humidity maximize evaporative cooling effectiveness.
Variable Speed Control
EC drive fan motors continuously match airflow to cooling demand — eliminating the energy waste of fixed-speed fans and enabling BMS integration for demand-controlled and setpoint-based operation.
Durable Construction
Heavy-gauge galvanized and stainless steel construction, industrial-grade recirculating pumps, and accessible serviceable components ensure ICE Western coolers deliver decades of reliable outdoor operation.
