Zent vs. Air Washer Unit Performance compared

Nowadays, people use different equipment to provide the cooling and heating needed in their homes, workshops, and halls. Choosing the right one among hundreds of models and brands seems to be a difficult task and it is necessary to consider parameters such as the size of the environment, balcony space, dimensions and how to implement, type of use, initial purchase cost, operating cost, etc.
Among the widely used equipment, we can mention Zent and Airwasher. In this article, we are going to compare Zent with Airwasher, which are two models of best-selling equipment. So stay with us.

What is zent?

Zent is a piece of dual-purpose equipment that increases the humidity of the air as well as provides cooling and evaporative heating. Zent means winter solstice and summer solstice. The device is a completely Iranian idea and design, and unlike water coolers and air washers, it is installed inside the building and in a place with an open window to provide fresh air in summer. The dimensions of the zent are slightly larger than water coolers, and the methods of cooling and heating differ from each other.

How Zent device works

Zent devices can be used in cooling, heating, and humidity control modes. In the cooling mode, the Zent device has the same function as a water cooler. In the summer, water is first poured on the pads by a pump, then when fresh air passes through the pores of the pads or pads and due to the evaporation of the drops, heat and water replace each other and cool the air. (It should be noted that despite the larger dimensions of the Zent compared to the water cooler, due to the use of the Zent for heating in the winter season, the mentioned device must be installed inside the building, but it must be in a place where a window is installed to provide fresh air in the summer season.)
Also, this device receives the air inside the building in the winter season and passes warm and pleasant air inside the building by passing through the spa coils. In the heating mode, the Zent device sends the hot water from the boiler or heating packages into the Zent coils with a pump. Then, with the operation of the centrifugal fan, it passes the air over the coils and distributes the resulting heat to all the spaces and rooms of the building through the channels implemented on top of the false ceiling.

Components of Zent device

The important components of the Zent device include:

• body
• ventilation fan
• Electric motor
• Water pump, spa coil
• Fresh air intake valve located outside the building
• It is a valve for the exit of cold or hot air and cellulose pads.

The benefits of using Zent

Among the advantages of using Zent, the following can be mentioned:

• Economical (due to providing heat and cold)
• low consumption (due to lack of compressor)
• Low initial cost
• Easy and fast installation

What is an air washer?

Air Washer is a device that uses the method of spraying water powder on the air passing through the device to cool the air. Air washers do not have a cover with a cellulose pad and can be used as an independent device or as a part of an air conditioner and other air conditioning systems.

Types of air washers

Air washers are produced and supplied in the apartment and industrial form and horizontal, vertical, front-facing, and top-facing models. Home air washers have the same mechanism as industrial air washers, except that their size is smaller. This is the reason why apartment air washers are known as home air washers. But all types of air washers and fans must use 100% of the air outside the building to provide cool air in the summer, and secondly, they will not be effective like water coolers in Sharjah areas where the relative humidity of the air in the summer is higher than 40%.

How the air washer works

The hot summer air is sucked into the air washer by the air washer fan. Air washers wash and cool the air using a strong water pump and their nozzles, the dust particles and pollutants in the air are removed from the air after coming into contact with the water powder particles sprayed from the nozzles, and the air is cool and clean. It comes out of the air washer. The heat exchange of air with water particles and its dust removal cools the air coming out of the air washer in summer.

Airwasher components

Air washers are placed independently or in interaction with the rest of the building's air conditioning system and include the following:

• body
• Electro-Motor
• fan
• Air filter
• Nozzles
• water pump
• pan
• diffuser
• Hot water coil
• Drip blades

Advantages of using an air washer

In this section, we are going to talk about the benefits of using an air washer:

Low starting price

Air washers are cheaper than refrigeration systems such as air conditioners and chillers due to the absence of compressors, refrigerants, condensers, and other parts of the refrigeration cycle and the use of evaporation systems.

Optimal power consumption

In all types of air washers, electrical energy is used only to operate the fan and pump, and there is no significant saving in energy consumption in this device.

A small volume of the device

The operating noise of the air washer is much lower than that of the building's central air conditioning systems, in which a compressor is used. The only sound produced is related to the air washer fan, which is minimized by using reliable and suitable silent fans.

Cheap repairs and easy maintenance

The parts used in the Airwasher air conditioner are not expensive and can be replaced at a low cost if they become defective.

The differences between Zent and Airwasher

In this section, we intend to describe the differences between Zent and Airwasher in terms of application and performance:

Use of Zent and Airwasher

Zent is usually used in residential apartments and air washers in high-ceiling halls and industrial places. It should be noted that Zent and Airwasher are not suitable for places like reception halls. Because humid air in crowded places does not have enough cooling effect. Also, due to the working basis of these two devices, which is in the form of evaporative cooling, it is not logical to use Zent and Airwasher in humid climates. It will be suitable to use Zent in office buildings, schools, mosques, production workshops, and areas where the relative humidity is less than 40% in summer.

The function of Zent and Airwasher

Zent and Airwasher have differences and general similarities with each other in terms of performance.

General differences between Zent and Airwasher

The difference between the working mechanism of the Zent and Airwasher in the cooling process is the way of heat exchange between the weather and the environment. In this way, Zent is equipped with a type of cellulose pad that is located in the path of air entering the device. Water flows on the cellulose pad and reduces the temperature of the air entering the device. But the air washer performs the heat exchange between the water and the air passing through the device through the high-pressure spraying of water powder that is carried out by the nozzle.

General similarities between Zent and Airwasher

The way Zent and Airwasher work is very similar to each other. One of the common features of Zent and Airwasher equipment is their need for fresh air intake. Because Zent and Airwasher cannot use the return air of the building due to the production of humid air.

Conclusion

The first step to buying a fan and air washer should be to pay attention to the cooling and heating capacity and the dimensions of the installation location of the device. Because, these two products are produced and supplied in different types with different cooling, heating, and ventilation capacities, you should consider the size and use of your desired environment before purchasing so that you can choose correctly and Be correct. Then things like energy consumption, features, brand, and related equipment benefits should be examined. To buy a Zent air cooler and air washer, you can choose the best among different models based on the size of the desired place and the installation position.
