ABOUT

SKVF - Evaporative Cooler

Cooling is a breeze

Neptronic’s SKVF Evaporative Cooler is engineered and built to offer maximum comfort in large scale applications by providing adequate humidification and cooling. In hot applications, this cooling can greatly contribute to process efficiency by enhancing worker productivity, contributing to product quality and reducing energy consumption.

Our SKVF uses energy-efficient modulating fans to circulate outdoor fresh air or indoor recirculated air. It cools dry air when it passes through the wet media to make the water evaporate, which then raises the humidity level. Moreover, our unit cools the air due to the energy transfer generated by the water evaporation.

The SKVF’s controller can be configured with either temperature control for a cooling application or humidity control for humidification. It allows you to temper industrial and commercial indoor areas where heat build-ups could be unfavorable to occupants, production and material goods.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

ECM Fan

Advantages of the SKVF’s ECM fan:

High energy efficiency – up to 30% more efficient compared to AC fans
Integrated continuous control for the fan speed, torque and feedback signal
Low operating temperatures increase the fan’s reliability and longevity
Relatively compact and versatile at high capacity

Integrated, Multi-Platform Controller

The SKVF controller is configured specifically for your SKVF Evaporative Cooler.

User-friendly, menu-driven interface on a 128 x 64 LCD with 8 function buttons for faster configuration and operation
User rights management system allows for menu to display only functions available to the type of user logged in: End User, Service Technician, Installer or Integrator
“Quick Config” menu allows for faster and easier installation, by displaying only the most used functions and configurations
Independent scheduling system for unit operation and drain cycle configurable via the menu or the BACnet communication interface
In-field firmware can be upgraded via SD card, USB or BACnet
Simple viewing and exporting of trending log and alarm log

Optional Features

The selectable BACnet MS/TP or Modbus menus allow access to over 75 objects/registers for integration with a BMS and IoT (Internet of Things)
Ethernet module
BACnet IP or Modbus IP
Web services make it possible to perform unit configurations, remote diagnostics and many more functions from any location

HRL24 Room Humidistat/Thermostat

The SKVF can be controlled remotely to monitor and control the humidity and temperature levels in a given room using the HRL24 room humidistat/thermostat.

Features

Used to configure and operate the SKVF evaporative cooler
Humidity and temperature sensing
Large LCD with backlight
Icon-driven and one line of text information
Four wire connection between device and SKVF controller
Selectable Fahrenheit or Celsius scale
Network service port via on-board mini USB connector

HYGIENIC AND SAFE

SKVF Media Panels

The SKVF’s evaporative corrugated media is made of fiberglass material bounded with a special inorganic compound, which allows exceptional moisture absorption, ensuring continuous humidification and evaporative cooling even at a high air velocity. The inorganic compound makes it hygienic, fire resistant and incombustible.

Inorganic and inflammable material
Safe and hygienic
Low pressure drop
Trouble free maintenance
No water treatment required
No risk of over saturation
Media frame made of stainless steel
Media easily removable from stainless steel frame
