Struggling to Cool Open Industrial Areas? The Cool-Space® 500 Portable Evaporative Cooler Targets Hot Spots and Improves Airflow Instantly

Cooling a warehouse or factory floor comes with challenges most systems aren’t built to handle. High ceilings hold heat, large doors stay open, and equipment runs nonstop. Traditional AC often struggles in these conditions—and when it doesn’t, the cost to operate it can add up quickly.

That’s where the COOL-SPACE® 500 evaporative cooler from Big Ass Fans comes in. It’s built specifically for large, open environments where consistent airflow and targeted cooling make a bigger impact than trying to control the entire building. With up to 24,000 CFM, it’s designed to cover work zones in the range of 5,000 up to 6,500 square feet.

Instead of spreading cooling too thin, this evaporative cooler focuses on the areas that matter most. Loading docks, production lines, and packing stations can all benefit from a steady stream of cooled air. In the right conditions, temperatures in these spaces can drop by 15 to 30 degrees, helping create a more manageable and safer work environment.

It also improves overall air movement in a way traditional systems don’t. This portable evaporative cooler pulls in fresh outdoor air, pushes it through water-saturated media, and circulates it through the space. As that happens, hot and stale air is pushed out, helping reduce dust, odors, and buildup from daily operations.

Energy efficiency is another advantage. Without the need for a compressor, the system runs on a fan and a small pump, keeping power usage significantly lower than standard air conditioning. Over time, that difference can translate into noticeable savings, especially in large facilities running long shifts.

Flexibility plays a big role as well. Work areas change, equipment gets moved, and heat isn’t always in the same place day to day. The COOL-SPACE® 500 is mounted on heavy-duty casters, making it easy to reposition wherever cooling is needed most, without committing to a fixed installation.

For facilities dealing with large spaces, high heat, and constant airflow demands, this evaporative cooler offers a practical way to improve comfort, support productivity, and manage operating costs without unnecessary complexity

SPECIFICATIONS

FEATURES

• High-Volume Airflow That Actually Reaches Your Work Area
  Delivers up to 24,000 CFM, allowing the COOL-SPACE® 500 to cover large zones up to 6,500 sq ft. This isn’t surface-level cooling—it pushes air deep into workspaces where heat tends to build and linger.
  
  
• Real Temperature Reduction in Harsh Conditions
  Designed to drop temperatures by up to 33°F in the right environment, making hot, uncomfortable areas far more manageable for crews working long shifts.
  
  
• Long Runtime Without Constant Refilling
  A 64-gallon built-in reservoir provides up to 10 hours of operation without needing a hose connection. You can run it standalone or hook it up for continuous use depending on your setup.
  
  
• Portable Design That Moves With Your Operation
  Built on heavy-duty casters, this unit rolls easily between work zones—dock doors, production lines, or service bays—so you can focus cooling exactly where it’s needed most.
  
  
• Advanced Controls for Simple, Flexible Operation
  Multiple fan speeds plus a max-output mode allow you to adjust airflow instantly. The onboard controller and app compatibility make it easy to fine-tune performance without overthinking it.
  
  
• Durable Cooling Media Built for Industrial Use
  Thick, resin-treated cooling pads resist odors and algae buildup while maintaining consistent performance, even in tough environments with dust, heat, and constant use.
