PORTABLE EVAPORATIVE AIR COOLER
2. Product Introduction
Evaporative air coolers uses evaporation to cool the air. In an evaporative cooler a pump circulates wa-
ter from the reservoir on to a cooling pad, which in turn becomes very wet. A fan draws air from outside
the unit through the damped pad. As it passes through the pad the air is cooled by evaporation.
The temperature of dry air can be dropped signifcantly through the phase transition of liquid water to
water vapor (evaporation), which can cool air using much less energy than refrigeration systems.

Advantages
1. Less expensive to intall
Estimated cost for installation is about half that of central refrigerated air conditioning
2. Less expensive to operate
Estimated cost of operation is 1/4 that of refrigerated air conditioning. Power consumption is limited to
the fan and water pump. Because the water vapor is not recycled, there is no compressor that consumes
most of the power in closed-cycle refrigeration. The refrigerant is water. No special refrigerants, such
as ammonia, sulfur dioxide or CFCs, are used that could be toxic, expensive to replace, contribute to
ozone depletion and/or be subject to stringent licensing and environmental regulations
3. Ease of maintenance
The only two mechanical parts in most basic evaporative coolers are the fan motor and the water pump,
both of which can be repaired at low cost and often by a mechanically inclined homeowner.
4. Ventilation air
The constant and high volumetric fow rate of air through the building reduces the “age-of-air” in
the building dramatically. Evaporative cooling increases humidity. In dry climates, this may improve
comfort and decrease static electricity problems. The pad itself acts as a rather effective air flter when
properly maintained; it is capable of removing a variety of contaminants in air, including urban ozone
caused by pollution, regardless of very dry weather. Refrigeration-based cooling systems lose this
ability whenever there is not enough humidity in the air to keep the evaporator wet while providing a
constant trickle of condensate that washes out dissolved impurities removed from the air.

14. Storage
CLEANING THE WATER TANK
*PLEASE ENSURE THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE
1. Open the water outlet valve(on the bottom of the machine) to drain out all
the water from the tank.
2. Remove the screws from the air-inlet louvers then remove the air-inlet
louvers.
3. Use a cloth or brush to wipe the inside of the tank
4. Rinse the inside of tank
5. Use a cloth to wipe the inside down
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE
*PLEASE ENSURE THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE
1. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the machine.
NOTE:
do not use detergents or solvent
When not in use please store in a clean environment.
Please ensure the water tank is completely drained.
Please ensure the cooling pads and flters are completely dry. Run in fan mode
PORTABLE EVAPORATIVE AIR COOLER
for a minimum 10 minutes.
