Product Description

The Evaporative Air Cooler is an efficient, energy-saving product. It cools by combining water evaporation with air movement, through carefully designed and manufactured equipment, providing maximum efficiency and safety. The evaporative cooling technology is very economical and gives a number of additional benefits compared to traditional air conditioning systems for homes and businesses. Thesystem does not use refrigerants or compressors; it cools by simply moving air through a surface composed of specially designed evaporative cooling pads Heat from the inlet air is absorbed by the water. The resulting outlet air temperature drops when the water transforms into gas. Humidity is not perceived, since the air in the room is renewed approximately every two minutes, while a comfortable cooling effect is created. Continuous air circulation is a vital aspect of the evaporative cooling process used in this equipment and gives it a distinct advantage over air conditioning by refrigeration.

Unpacking

Handle the unit with care. Visually inspect for shipping damage. If any part is damaged, immediately file a claim with the carrier.

Air Renewal Requirements:

• When your cooler is working, it is important to leave a window or door open in order to keep a constant air flow and to avoid any accumulation of humidity and heat.
• Your Evaporative Cooler does not cool correctly when air flow is restricted from exiting a room.
• This causes a decrease in the cooling efficiency due to an increase of humidity.
• Therefore, an opening of at least 1 square foot for every 500 CFM of injected air is required.
