Seeley International has become the first Australian manufacturer to offer evaporative cooling pads with the introduction of newly-developed mini-cell Chillcel pad technology.

The pads are specifically designed to maximise cooling in the hot Australian climate.

Seeley International founder and executive chairman Frank Seeley said the enhanced small cell design of the revolutionary mini cell structure is the culmination of years of development and rigorous testing and achieves up to 21% more cooling capacity than previous models.

“Australia experiences some of the harshest weather extremes found anywhere in the world, so it has been important for Seeley International to design and develop evaporative cooling pads that deliver the best performance outcomes from some of the worst conditions in the world,” he said.

“The new pads, which are manufactured at Seeley International’s Lonsdale-based factory in Adelaide, offer 25% more surface area and a new 4mm flute to dramatically improve cooling efficiency.

“Sourcing only the best quality paper and then manufacturing the pads locally means we have complete quality control over the saturation efficiencies of our coolers and we can accurately assess the performance of this and other innovative breakthroughs at our onsite NATA-accredited testing facility.”

Frank said another new and exciting feature introduced across the Breezair range is the external air sensor, which conveniently displays the outside temperature on an intuitive touch screen wall controller.

“Not only does this technology intuitively optimise water and energy use based on outside surrounding conditions, the life of the air conditioner will be extended because it also automatically drains the water tank when temperatures are near freezing point,” he said.

“These new features ensure Breezair customers are provided with market-leading products made from the best quality materials.

“Our customers can buy with confidence and know they are supporting the creation and sustainment of Australian jobs and our local, but world-leading, manufacturing industry.”
