After being in development for approximately three years, HydroChill has shown cooling effects up to 50 degrees.
HydroChill works on the same basic principle of humans who sweat.
When a human sweats, evaporation cooling takes place when evaporation of moisture from the skin’s surface has a cooling effect.
As the turf’s surface is heated by solar radiation, moisture stored in the turf is released, leaving a cooler surface.
The field is watered to activate HydroChill, and energy from the sunlight drives out water – ultimately removing heat from the surface.
The cooling effect can last between two and three days.
