Summer may be a joyful season with starry night sky, ice cream runs, a sunny beach or a lovely swim, and even some travel to a beautiful holiday place. When you have to stay indoors, though, it is no fun to swelter in the heat. Using a portable evaporative cooler is a cost-effective and environmentally responsible approach to battle the heat (also called a swamp cooler.) Evaporative coolers employ the evaporation of water to help chill the air while also bringing humidity back into the air. When compared to air conditioning systems, these coolers utilize no chemical refrigerants and can save up to 75% of the energy.
How Does A Portable Evaporative Cooler Work?
An evaporating cooler is basically a device that employs a fan to draw in air and circulate it over wet cooling pads. As the water flows over the wet pads, the liquid water condenses into a moist vapour, which is then blasted into the room by the fan. The moisture absorbs heat from the air, reducing the temperature and making it feel colder. This is similar to the natural cooling mechanism of the human body. The body sweats in hot weather, and the perspiration evaporates, decreasing the body’s temperature.
Furthermore, in arid areas, where devices operate best, they provide humidity to the air, which helps with the potential problems of itchy eyes, dry skin, and sore throats.
These are frequently put on the roof of a home or business structure, and a blower is used to force the air down through air ducts. They may also be mounted in windows, incorporated into walls, set on the floor, or made movable.
Are Portable Evaporative Coolers Effective?
Portable cooling systems are an excellent cooling option for a house’s living room, bedrooms, home office, or lounging space. Commercially, they may be employed efficiently in a variety of industries, businesses, and office environments. A portable cooler takes up less room than a rooftop type and has a smaller footprint, allowing it to fit into smaller locations. The majority of them devices relatively lightweight and require simply energy and water to work. They can also be equipped with wheels, allowing them to be easily moved from room to room or location to location if necessary.
Evaporative coolers can also be utilized in outside or semi-outdoor locations such as garages and covered porches.
Portable Coolers Have The Following Advantages:
• Extremely energy-efficient
• There are no chemical emissions.
• Prevent air pollution
• It is portable, adaptable, and useful.
• Increase the amount of beneficial moisture in the air
The relative efficacy of an evaporative cooler is determined on the humidity level. The lower the humidity, the lower the resultant temperature. High humidity prevents effective cooling. A relative humidity of less than 70% will suffice.
Do Portable Evaporative Coolers Need To Be Vented?
A portable cooler is sometimes known as a vent less cooler. The only needs are access to an electrical outlet and a water supply. While typical air conditioning requires a sealed and insulated environment, these machines only require a constant supply of fresh air. As water evaporates, it forms moist air in the cooled region. However, when the humidity of the air rises, the cooling becomes less efficient. All that is required is to keep certain windows slightly open to allow the dry air to enter and the moist air to exit. For continuous airflow and cooling efficacy, only a few inches of window openness are required, combined with appropriate cross-ventilation design.
