When you have chosen the kind of room cooler you want, the next step is to select between different types of air coolers. The following are examples of these characteristics:
The capacity of the water tank
Evaporative cooling is the process that is implemented in room coolers. This technique involves turning water into water vapor, which brings the temperature of the air that is blown by a fan or blower down to a more comfortable level. It is critical to have room coolers that are equipped with sizable water tanks. If the water tank is larger, the air conditioner will run for a longer period. You need to be sure that the water tank of the air cooler you choose can handle the amount of water that you use regularly. An air cooler with a larger tank is going to be necessary if the space is going to be quite huge. Desert and personal air coolers alike come with a diverse selection of water tank capacities to choose from. Desert air coolers often have tank sizes ranging from 31 to 50 liters, whereas personal air coolers typically have capacities between 20 and 30 liters.
Airflow
It is essential to purchasing an air cooler that corresponds to the dimensions of your room, just as it is with an air conditioner. CFM is another method that can be used to measure the airflow of an air cooler (cubic feet per minute). The CFM is a measurement that indicates the volume of air that is brought into your space per minute. Calculating the cubic feet per minute (CFM) needed for the space allows you to determine the appropriate size air cooler. To determine the necessary CFM for your space, simply divide the volume of the room in cubic feet by two. Take, for instance, the case where the area of your room is 300 square feet and the height of your ceiling is 10 feet. If so, the needed CFM would be 1,500 (300 square feet multiplied by 10 feet divided by 2)
Whether or not a room cooler makes use of a blower or a fan is another factor that determines its airflow. Fans may provide airflow with low pressure but in huge volumes; they are typically utilized in large air coolers. Fans can also create airflow with large volumes. On the other hand, Blowers can generate high-pressure airflow at high volumes; this is why they are utilized in more compact models. When looking to purchase an air cooler, you should also search for models that offer several different speed settings. Because of this, you can adjust the airflow, and consequently, the temperature in the space. The majority of air coolers come equipped with at least a three-speed regulator. You might also seek a cooler that has automated louver movement, which ensures that cool air can travel in any direction it is directed. This function is particularly useful for desert air coolers that are put to use in rather large rooms.
Cooling Pads
The cooling of an air cooler can be directly influenced by the use of cooling pads. They take in water while simultaneously allowing air to pass through them to chill the environment. The greater the thickness of the cooling pad, the more effective the cooling. Aspen or cellulose material is most commonly used in the construction of cooling pads. Both have some positive aspects as well as some drawbacks. Wood shavings and man-made fibers are used in the construction of aspen pads. They are less expensive overall, but they have a shorter lifespan and require more maintenance. Honeycomb pads are another name for cellulose cooling pads. This is primarily because honeycomb pads appear to be made of honeycomb. They have a longer life and require less maintenance than aspen pads and have a greater thickness. Although they are believed to be more effective, they come at a little higher price.
Design
People often choose not to purchase air coolers because they are bulky and do not complement the aesthetic of the room in which they are placed. This is one of the primary reasons for this preference.
Conclusion
You now have before you a concise purchasing guide that will assist you in selecting the ideal air cooler for your house. Before you set out to hunt for models, you should have a good idea of the kind of air cooler you want, taking into account the weather patterns that prevail in your region. Also, choose the appropriate water tank capacity, which should provide the best possible cooling while not using an excessive amount of space. The cost of your purchase may go up if you opt for additional features like a remote control or castor wheels; but, if you are ready to invest a little bit more, it will be well worth it.
