In summer heat waves and extreme temperatures can make air cooling and ventilation devices more important in our daily lives. There are many options available to combat this problem, including misting fans and evaporative coolers (also called swamp coolers), as well as air conditioners. Each product has its advantages and disadvantages. Evaporative cooling has become a well-known phenomenon in recent years. But what exactly is an evaporative cooler? We explain how it works and the benefits it provides.
What Is The Purpose Of An Evaporative Cooler?
Evaporative coolers are not the same thing as air conditioners. Evaporative coolers are not the same as air conditioners or conventional coolers. They don’t require refrigeration or compressors. Swamp coolers are made by a process where warm air meets water. This causes a heat exchange and the water absorbs the thermal energy. A cooling effect is produced after evaporation. This effect can vary depending on changes in temperature and relative humidity. The swamp cooler’s cooling effect will be more apparent as the higher the room temperature and the lower the relative humidity.
The cooling effect is similar to a waterfall. Water from the tank is drawn into the filter pads using a pump. Warm air from outside flows through the places and causes an evaporative cooling phenomenon. The fan blows cool air out, reducing the ambient temperature.
Many stores sell water mist sprayers that cool the skin by spraying water onto it. This gives the skin a sense of freshness. Its air-purifying ability is another benefit worth mentioning. As rain does in nature, the air absorbs some dust as it passes through water.
The Advantages Of An Evaporative Cooler
- Ecological
- It is easily transportable due to its swivel wheels
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
- Cost savings and energy efficiency
- It is easy to install. It can be plugged directly into the mains and used immediately.
The portable coolers are free of any compressor or refrigerant. It also emits no hot air and consumes less energy. The included wheel kit makes it easy to transport the unit anywhere you need.
How Do You Use Your Device To Improve Its Functionality?
The swamp cooler’s control panel typically includes the functions of oscillation, wind speed, and cold air. The unit will turn on by turning on the speed switch. You can choose the air speed you need between Low, Medium, or High. To start cooling, adjust the cooling mode. For maximum cooling efficiency, the horizontal swing function causes the louvers in the air outlet to change directions.
The hose can be used to refill the tank. To ensure safety, you must turn off the appliance before adding water. To avoid any spillage during movement, we recommend filling the water tank to 70%. These are some ways to increase the cooling power of your swamp cooler. To increase the cooling effect, add ice water or ice cubes to freeze the water.
Where Do You Place The Evaporative Cooler?
Evaporative coolers can be used in any place that has good air circulation. This includes homes, factories, and churches, as well as small format stores, departmental stores, auto repair shops, and other places where it is necessary to clean and renew the air. It is best to place it near a window or door so that ventilation can easily flow inside.
Cleaning And Upkeep Of The Evaporative Cooler
To reduce mineral buildup, we recommend draining the tank and filling it with water every week. If you find any mineral buildup on the cooling pads, please take them out and wash them with warm water. For best results, make sure to turn off the more relaxed mode 15 minutes before you turn off the unit. The fan should be left on for drying the cooling pad.
