Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using A Portable Air Cooler

By Alex D White


There are several benefits of using the Evaporative air cooler and there are a lot of varieties of the evaporative coolers that can help you with your needs. Evaporative coolers are also referred to as swamp coolers and they act as the best units to serve your cooling needs in residence, office or work place. Based on the needs, you can choose from large portable air coolers to small coolers, fixed coolers and so on, available in varying designs, which offer reliable and effective cooling to satisfy your needs.

The portable air coolers are known to have a throw of at least 10 feet. There are countries that look to have coolers that are large and have a throw of around 30 feet. However, such coolers have a major disadvantage, as they create a lot of noise, which is produced by the exhaust fans installed in them that act as blowers for the machine to work for air movement.

The process of endothermic reaction on which the evaporative cooler works is very simple to understand. Consider, how on a wet day, sweat from our skin starts to evaporate; the same principle is used in the process of endothermic reaction in the air cooler. Likewise as we get out of a swimming pool, on a hot day, although the temperature around us would be very high, the rapid evaporation of water on our body helps us to cool down and feel the cold.

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.

Even greenhouses are also known to make use of the evaporative air coolers. As the evaporative air coolers, make use of water content in the air to cool the air, it becomes useful for the plants not only to get the needed water but also have a cool environment. Where the air conditioner installed in room it needs to be sealed to work effective, but with evaporative air cooler, you need to have an open window to allow it to perform effective.

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.
