As more vaccines are being rolled out around the world, more and more countries are now hoping to see the much-awaited end of the COVID-19 pandemic. But right now, the threat of the virus is still out there, which is why everyone must still take necessary precautions until everything goes back to normal.
One of the precautions that can be done against the COVID-19 is the appropriate cooling of a room or property. Prior to the beginning of thelatest pandemic, property owners and occupantswould just obtain their needed cool air by turning on their air conditioner units. These cooling units, after all, can readily give cold air to rooms and spaces, especially during the summer season.
Facts about COVID-19 and Other Viruses
What makes air conditioner units effective is that they can easily send and spread cool air to a specific enclosed space without any problems. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought some information that everyone should consider thoroughly. You see, COVID-19 and other viruses can survive for hours in a specific type of environment. And as professionals have pointed out, these viruses can easily live and spread in a dry environment. Surprisingly, air conditioners can dry the air, allowing viruses to just disseminate across a specific room or area. Dry air can likewise cause asthma, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
Aside from making the environment dry, air conditioners are known for recirculating the air inside a room. And with numerous studies that were published lately, most of them have suggested that these units may cause the spread COVID-19 and other viruses through aerosols. Therefore, if one infected person enters an air-conditioned room and coughs openly, then some people in the same room might have a higher chance of getting infected by the same virus.
Mobile Evaporative Coolers as a Solution
Given the information about air conditioners and how they could potentially spread COVID-19, many property owners are encouraged to just turn them off and open the windows. The only problem with doing this is that the outdoor heat can be difficult to endure. Fortunately, mobile evaporative coolers are designed to provide fresh cool air without closing all the windows. Relying heavily on the process of evaporation, evaporative coolers can easily beat the summer heat during these trying times.
Mobile evaporative coolers do not only provide the needed cool air in a specific room or area, but they can also minimise and even prevent COVID-19 and other viruses from spreading. Evaporative coolers are not capable of drying the air. Instead, they humidify the air while it is being cooled and subsequentlydistributed to a specific area. The air quality, however, must be checked as excess moisture can lead to the development and growth of mildew and mould.
Increasing the humidity in a property, which can be done by mobile evaporative coolers, is also identified to help kill viruses more quickly.Though, cleaning and disinfection of surfaces must still be done to ensure all viruses and harmful microbes will be eradicated.
