EcoMESH Component Breakdown

EcoMESH Diagram

Mesh Material

EcoMESH features an innovative dual-layered High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) mesh that maximises efficiency while ensuring durability.
Material Composition:
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
Dual-Layer Design:
Enhances strength and flexibility while acting as a self-cleaning filter.
UV Stability:
Engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight and extreme weather conditions without degradation.
Filtration & Self-Cleaning Mechanism:

The dual-mesh layers naturally rub against each other due to wind and water spray, dislodging dirt and debris.

This minimises maintenance requirements and operational costs.

Stitching & Reinforcement Materials

EcoMESH is stitched and reinforced with the highest quality marine-grade bonded polyester thread, ensuring long-term durability even in extreme environments.

Composition:

Bonded, twisted continuous filament polyester thread.

UV Resistance:

Designed to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight and environmental conditions.

Chemical Resistance:

Resistant to chemicals, vinyl, bleaching agents, mildew, and rot.

Abrasion Resistance:

Strong resistance to wear and tear in demanding outdoor environments.

Eco-Friendly Compliance:

Manufactured to meet strict environmental safety standards and free from restricted substances.

Applications:

Suitable for high-stress environments, including industrial, marine, and outdoor applications.

Structural Frame & Fixings

Structural Frame & Fixings

Our EcoMESH systems are constructed from a robust aluminium framework and high-strength fixings for secure installation and long-term structural integrity.

Frame Material:

High-quality anodised aluminium, ensuring corrosion resistance and suitability for all-weather environments.

HDPE Fixing Brackets:

High quality and UV stabilised. Our fixing brackets offer high strength and simple installation / integration to any coil configuration.

Mounting System:

Designed for quick and easy installation, with the ability to replace damaged sections without full system disassembly.

Water Distribution System

EcoMESH features a precision-engineered water spray system, optimised for uniform water distribution and efficient cooling.

This controlled water distribution supports the natural evaporative process explained in our guide to how adiabatic cooling works.

Water Header Pipes:

Manufactured from 316L stainless steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and longevity.

Spray Nozzles:

Quick-change plastic nozzles designed for even water distribution.

Nozzles can be arranged in series or parallel configurations depending on system requirements.

Operating Pressure Range:

The system operates at very low pressure, compatible with standard mains water supply.

Minimum working pressure: 3 Bar (43 psi).

EcoMESH Applications

Performance

EcoMESH Water Consumption Chart
  • Water spray durations and frequencies are automatically adjusted by the controller in order to optimise performance and minimise water consumption.
  • The higher the ambient temperature, the greater the frequency and duration of the spray to match the ambient conditions.
  • Once the lower ambient set point is reached the spray operation is automatically terminated.
  • Through intermittent spray operation and set point limits, water consumption can be minimised by as much as 75% in comparison to a comparable cooling tower, evaporative or any other adiabatic cooling unit.
  • Air-cooled condensers and Dry Coolers can be either horizontal, vertical “V” or “W” configuration and EcoMESH can be fitted in any type of orientation for a new unit or retrofit application.  Note: some condenser manufacturers are able to offer EcoMESH as a factory-fitted option.
  • EcoMESH has been successfully installed on a large number of ammonia air-cooled condensers achieving maintenance and legionella-free operation.
  • Significant compressor improvements are achievable. To request a copy of the compressor efficiency improvements available to air-cooled condensers click here.
  • Any make or model of the air-cooled chiller, whether a new unit or retrofit application can be converted to an EcoMESH wet system by means of either a factory add-on or onsite modification.
  • Any make or model of Dry Cooler, whether a new project or retrofit application, can be converted to a wet system by means of either a factory add-on or onsite modification.
  • Unitary products such as Rooftop and Mini Split units rely on dry bulb only.
  • By simply fitting an EcoMESH kit to convert the dry bulb to a wet bulb ambient operation the condenser output of the unit can be increased by as much as 40%.
  • Multiple units can be controlled from a single controller for a cost-effective and easy set-up site installation for both new and retrofit applications.
  • For air inlet cooling systems, EcoMESH is placed within the airstream.
  • This provides the benefits of a wet bulb temperature system providing a practical, cost-effective and safe adiabatic air cooling system.
