Evaporative (desert) duct installation in Al Shuwaidi

Evaporative cooling relies on water evaporation and weakens when humidity is high. In Jeddah, humidity is higher near the coast and lower inland. The survey decides whether the space and the season are suitable, which is why we do not start before visiting the site.

An evaporative cooler pushes fresh air in continuously. Without an exit path, humid air builds up inside and the felt temperature rises. Properly sized exhaust openings keep air moving through, not piling up, and that is the core of how this type of cooling works.

We use G90 galvanised steel sheet, which resists rust in Jeddah's humid and salty air. The duct sections are formed in our workshop before being taken to site, then hung on supports along the run to stop them sagging.

Duct can be branched from one unit to more than one outlet, but each branch reduces the airflow at every opening. The survey decides whether the cooler has enough output for the total area, or whether a separate unit for each wing is the better answer.

Evaporative cooling depends on continuous air movement and exchange, which requires exhaust openings in the same space the duct serves. A false ceiling restricts that flow unless dedicated openings lead air out of the building. The site survey decides whether the structure allows it, because the duct run and the exhaust are designed together as one system, not separately.

Yes, the dry climate here supports good performance, especially in the moderate months. A site visit determines the best cooler size and location for your space.

We select safe routes through hallways and corners, or make simple openings in ceilings as needed based on the design. The survey clarifies the best option.

Seasonal dust may enter the duct, but periodic cleaning and extra filters maintain performance. The moderate humidity in Al Shuwaidi does not cause major problems.

We try to avoid major cuts by using existing passages and corners. The design minimises structural changes.
