Benefits Of Having A Portable Evaporative Air Cooler

By Alex D White


A portable evaporative air cooler otherwise also known as swamp cooler is one of the most cost effective cooling unit that you can use. Not only the evaporative cooler is easier to buy, but it also ensures that you spent a minimum amount as a cost of fuel and energy to run the portable air cooler as compared to the air conditioner. Moreover, the mechanism with which an evaporative air cooler works is very simple as compared to the traditional air conditioner, thus there is a very less need for maintenance and service, which reduces the overall cost.

Knowing more about the evaporative cooler, it works on the basis of endothermic reaction. The endothermic reaction is a simple process where the energy is absorbed in the form of heat. IN the evaporative air cooler, the air passes through the wet pads, wicks absorbed with water. As the air passes through the pads, the water in the pads evaporates and this causes the heat in the air to be absorbed and converted to cool environment.

Similar to the swamp coolers even the portable air coolers consists of the same equipment, it contains a container that holds different things including, the water pump, container for water and the controllers in the air cooler. You can also find castors that help you take the cooler from one place to another. The air cooler is portable; it is very lightweight so it can be shifted with ease. There is a limit to the water containing capacity of personal evaporative air coolers. You can choose to have a cooler of water capacity of 6-8 litres depending on the humidity of the environment.

When you choose to use the traditional air cooler, you shall find the unit using refrigerants or coolants to absorb the heat and produce cold air. The air then moves throughout the room and the heat is ventilated out of the room. However, with the evaporative air cooler, it follows the process of endothermic reaction and does not use any kind of coolants.

Therefore, to add water to the tank, you will have to do it manually. There are coolers that are known to have dehumidifiers, which are sold as personal air cooler. Where the air conditioners are known to be highly priced, the personal air coolers are cheaper.

Similar to the smaller units of evaporative coolers, even the commercial coolers works effectively at a low cost when compared to large air conditioners. Along with this the evaporative coolers cover more space, which is at least 4000 square feet.

Evaporative air cooler, needs water as a continuous supply, hence you must always consider the tank size of the cooler. When the climate is very humid the water consumption rate is higher and thus it is advised to have a water tank of at least 8 litres. The modern day air comes with varying features, such as ionizer or ice packs.

Do remember that additional features cost you extra, however even though the features add up to the cost of the evaporative cooler, it cost of buying the portable cooler is still less than an conventional air conditioner. Moreover the maintenance and energy charges are also low.
