Steve Kinkel, CEO of United Metal Products, recently published an article on the benefits of Indirect-Direct Evaporative Cooling in the Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration (ACHR) NEWS publication.

One of the most practical ways to increase a company’s bottom line and practice sustainability is in the area of cooling. Many companies assume their only option with regards to providing cooling is standard packaged air conditioning. However, indirect-direct evaporative cooling is a method of cooling that can be not only more cost effective, but also more sustainable. Such a method can help companies move towards being climate neutral. At the same time, contractors who offer such a system can have a business edge over competitors.

Four Timely Benefits of Indirect-Direct Evaporative Cooling

“The vision of United Metal Products® is to provide our customers with high quality, customized cooling solutions to meet their unique needs . We satisfy our clients’ needs by offering the highest level of customer service and support. We do what we say, we finish what we start, and we complete projects on time.” —Steve Kinkel, CEO of United Metal Products®

Meeting the challenge of a flexible solution based design that would accommodate large space cooling and heating brought on the development of the Cel-Air® evaporative cooling system. Whatever your specific needs our CAD designed system can develop solutions and generate changes on the plant floor in hours, instead of months or years. Once a unit has been meticulously configured by our high definition cutting system the parts are cleaned, powder coated, painted, and cured at 400 degrees Fahrenheit to a hard enamel finish. The components are then assembled, inspected, and tested. The entire process guided by a team philosophy of “do it right the first time.” We work to ensure that the quality and integrity of our equipment is second to none.

“As you can see from the following twenty year old video, we have a long history of  prioritizing the manufacturing and designing of  innovative and high quality evaporative cooling equipment.  In fact, we have been helping business save money for over thirty years by developing energy saving evaporative cooling equipment.”—Steve Kinkel, CEO of United Metal Products

Some of the facilities that we specialize in providing cooling solutions for are large warehouses, big box stores, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, prisons, schools, and data centers.” —Steve Kinkel, CEO of United Metal Products

The history of today’s modern evaporative cooling parallels the history of one family. In 1912 an inventive German family migrated to the U.S.   In the early 1920’s their oldest son, Jon Goettl, moved to Arizona and soon began mass producing evaporative cooling units. International Metal Products was born and over forty years later grandson Steve Kinkel founded United Metal Products.
