2 evap Cooling Systems Forging New Futures For Institutional Facilities The evap cooling system helps laboratories avoid financial penalties and conserve water and energy while reducing costs. Many research facilities need to change the way they operate as they are unknowingly violating water-use and energy-efficiency codes and legislation that makes them subject to fine. Many jurisdictions have banned once-through water for cooling. Organizations including Labs21 and the Environmental Protection Agency have cited once-through cooling as a major source of water consumption that must be eliminated. Regulation will only become more stringent as evidence is shared more widely on wasteful laboratory water consumption.

3 The evap family of sustainable liquid-to-liquid heat exchanging products eliminates single-pass cooling and dramatically reduces operating costs, often paying for itself in three to five years or less. The evap 1000/1100* utilizes a building s chilled water or process system to reject heat from the laboratory experiments through the use of a patent-pending system that includes a highly efficient magnetic bearingless pump, variable speed flow control and a stainless steel metal plate and frame heat exchanger. The technology is refined in the evap 1500 to help institutions save significant energy by eliminating large plug loads from equipment and conserve water while creating higher performing research environments. The evap 1100 has a larger flow and cooling capacity but is otherwise similar in construction and operation to the evap Both units are constructed from lead-free and corrosion-resistant materials, including brass, copper and 316 Stainless Steel. These units are portable and can be mounted to both bench tops and walls or suspended on laboratory equipment racks inside fume hoods to minimize space requirements. The evap cooling systems solves these challenges for research institutions in a multitude of ways. 2.5 tons of cooled water per hour 750,000 gallons in fresh water savings every year 90% less power use than standard cooling units

4 Recognizing the value of the evap cooling systems, the world s most forward-thinking institutions are already using it including the California Institute of Technology and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The evap 1500 Heat Exchanging Water Cooling Unit offers an efficient means to cool laboratory processes and equipment without using tap water or small air-cooled chiller units with compressors. This eliminates the flood risks associated with using tap water, and saves potentially thousands of gallons of fresh water a day at continuous use while removing the heat, noise and complexity associated with many compressor chiller units as well. The unit combines plate and frame heat exchanger technology, precision temperature sensors, electronic controls and variable speed drive to provide a continuous source of cool water at a precise temperature, +/- 0.1 degree C and pressure using the existing building s energy efficient process or chilled water system as the source of heat rejection. This gives laboratory personnel complete control of the type, quality, temperature and pressure of the fluid used to cool their equipment. Major national research facilities, including the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, rely on the evap cooling system to achieve compliance with changing regulations as well as to realize significant water, energy and cost savings. An independent study at the Caltech Linde+Robinson Environmental Institute concluded that evap will reduce electricity costs associated with the facility s large laboratory equipment by 87%. 87% Potential annual energy cost savings by reducing energy consumption

5 It is no longer a question of will single-pass cooling become obsolete, but when will it happen? The evidence against this outdated method continues to grow and legislation will continue to demand changes. The evap cooling systems are capable and ready to meet the needs of laboratories today and in the future. The Value of evap. The evap 1000/1100 provides 2.5 tons of cooling and 2 gallons per minute of cool water. It can save 750,000 gallons of fresh water annually compared to once-through water cooling. The devices use less than 1/10th the electrical power of standard compressorized cooling units. They are also small, portable, quiet, lightweight and can mount inside the fume hood, on a benchtop or below a counter. They prevent flooding and eliminate heat, noise and vibration in the laboratory environment.

6 applications for the evap The federal government recently issued an executive order mandating facilities under its jurisdiction must reduce water consumption intensity 2% annually, or 26% by the end of fiscal year 2020, relative to a fiscal year 2007 baseline and to reduce energy consumption by 30% by fiscal year 2015 as compared to a fiscal year 2003 baseline. Many of these facilities are now seeking new ways to dramatically The evap sustainable laboratory heat exchangers can achieve both of these goals.
