Air coolers are suitable for indoor and outdoor usage and are considered a great alternative to traditional air conditioning systems. They do not produce harmful greenhouse gases, making them a more sustainable option for the environment.
An air cooler is a device that is used to cool the air in a room or an outdoor space. It operates by drawing in hot air and passing it through moistened pads, which cools the air as it evaporates the water. The cooled air is then expelled into the room, creating a refreshing and comfortable environment.
Watt: Most air coolers run on a power consumption of 150-300 watts. This means that when an air cooler is operating, it consumes electrical power at a rate of 150 to 300 watts per hour. Kilowatt: The kilowatt (kW) of an air cooler's power consumption can be calculated by dividing its wattage by 1000.
Although air coolers work best in dry, arid conditions, they can still provide a cooling effect as long as the humidity is below the saturation point. In other words, air coolers are effective till the air humidity reaches beyond 50%. Air coolers may be less effective in moderately humid areas, but they can still provide ventilation and air circulation. However, air coolers are not recommended in areas with high relative humidity.
It’s necessary to clean your cooler’s water reservoir or water pan on a regular basis, just like humidifiers. Drain your cooler once a week as a general guideline to avoid fungus growth.
