Product Usage Instructions

1. Introduction to Evaporative Cooling
   The main objective of evaporative air conditioners is to increase the comfort level of any space naturally and efficiently. To make the most out of this equipment, it is important to understand how evaporative cooling works.

2. Ventilate and Refresh
   In hot months, achieving thermal comfort is essential. An evaporative air conditioner ventilates and refreshes the air, creating a comfortable environment. It performs two key tasks: ventilate and cool.

3. How Evaporative Cooling Works
   Evaporative coolers work by passing air through cooling filters soaked with water. As the air captures moisture, its temperature decreases, converting hot, dry air into cooler, more humid air. This process also helps purify the air and improve air quality.

4. Factors Affecting Cooling Capacity
   The cooling capacity depends on ambient temperature and humidity levels. Higher temperatures and lower humidity lead to greater cooling capacity. Correct usage will help achieve thermal comfort in most cases.

INTRODUCTION TO EVAPORATIVE COOLING

The main target of evaporative air conditioners is to increase the comfort level of any space naturally and efficiently. To get the most out of this type of equipment, you should read this introduction to evaporative cooling.

THERMAL COMFORT ZONE
Our level of comfort is directly related to the ambient temperature and humidity. In general, we can say that people perceive a sensation of thermal comfort when the environmental conditions are within what we call a “thermal comfort zone”. This zone corresponds to the temperature range between 18º and 30ºC and a relative humidity of between 30 and 70% approximately.

In addition to influencing comfort, humidity, and temperature are even capable of influencing factors such as our productivity and our level of attention, so thermal comfort is an element to be taken into account not only in our homes but in our workspace.

VENTILATE AND REFRESH. WHY?
In the hottest months of the year, usually happens is that we need to lower the air temperature to reach our thermal comfort zone, and to achieve this, a very efficient solution is the use of an EVAPORATIVE AIR CONDITIONER, which performs two fundamental tasks: ventilate and refresh.

Ventilate: the thermal sensation of the air that surrounds us depends on its speed. That is, a current of air gives us a lower sensation of temperature than calm air.

That is why on many occasions a simple fan is capable of relieving us from the sensation of heat. But, what if in addition to moving the air, we managed to cool it? This is exactly what an evaporative cooler does! Ventilate and cool the air through evaporative cooling.

EVAPORATIVE COOLING.

Evaporative air conditioners use the natural principle of water evaporation to produce fresh air: dry air naturally decreases its temperature if we increase its humidity. This phenomenon is the same that occurs, for example, on the shores of the sea or a river, where the wind that comes into contact with the water becomes a breeze capable of refreshing us. This principle is very interesting because it is not necessary to spend energy to humidify the air, rather it is something that we can achieve naturally, and this makes the energy consumption of an evaporative cooler equivalent to that of a fan.

Evaporative coolers work by passing a flow of air through cooling filters, which are soaked with water and the air captures moisture and reduces its tempera-ture as it passes through them. They convert hot, dry air into cooler, more humid air. In addition, the fact that they filter the air serves to purify the envi-ronment and improve air quality.

The cooling capacity of this equipment will always depend on the ambient temperature and humidity conditions. If the temperature is high and the humidity is low, we will obtain a greater cooling capacity. If the temperature is not very high or there is a lot of humidity, the performance will be lower. In any case, using the air conditioner correctly will serve to reach the thermal comfort zone in the vast majority of cases.

We must always use the air conditioners in ventilated spaces so that the equip-ment can be constantly fed with new air. We must also direct the airflow towards where we are located to take advantage of the refreshing effect produced by fresh air on one hand, and moving air on the other.

We should not use this equipment in closed rooms, since we will obtain the opposite effect: the air will be saturated with humidity, and the sensation of heat and overwhelm will increase.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Evaporative coolers work by passing a flow of air through cooling filters, which are saturated with water so that by increasing their relative humidity they lower the air’s temperature. They convert hot, dry air into cool, humid air. In addition, the fact that they filter the air serves to purify the atmosphere and improve air quality.

To achieve maximum cooling and air quality, consider the following recommendations:

1. Use the equipment in well-ventilated places. If used in a confined or poorly ventilated space, the performance of the equipment may be greatly reduced and it will be very difficult to lower the air tempera-ture.
2. Try to place the equipment with your back to an open door or window, so that as much new air as possible entering the room passes through our equipment. This will increase the performance of the equipment and improve the quality of the air we breathe.
3. Keep equipment filters clean. The cleaner they are, the more cooling and air-filtering power our equipment will have.
4. Change the water in the tank as soon as you detect that it contains dirt. Part of the airborne particles passing through the filters can end up in the water tank. Using equipment with dirty water decreases performance, worsens air quality, and can create operational problems.
5. Before storing the equipment, make sure the filters and the reservoir are clean and dry.
6. Do not put any liquid into the reservoir other than water. Mixing chemicals with water can endanger the health of people, animals, and plants, as well as damage the cooling filters.
