There’s nothing uglier in a water-based machine than an orange-tinged stain. Worse still, this particular device is an evaporative cooler, a piece of cutting-edge equipment that has earned the respects of the cooling community. Environmentally friendly, free of chemicals, the designers of this appliance type don’t want to see that reputation tarnished. And yet, that’s […]
Think of accurate speed control as the performance governor on a portable evaporative cooler. The pads in the system are wet. Subsequently, vapour enthalpy draws fluid from an onboard reservoir. Meanwhile, a fan is using its angularly fixed blades to cut the air and insert that evaporative substance. In effect, the whole process is at […]
A sweltering band of humidity has settled in for the week. Even a slow walk produces sweat when this kind of weather dominates the land. The question is, can evaporative coolers deliver the goods when the air is already saturated with water? Will the energy-efficient appliance rise to the task and cool the muggy environment? […]
Keeping cool with the summer sun is shining down can be an almost Herculean task and this even extends to when you are indoors. Whether you are looking to stay cool in a small office or just a portion of your home, your needs are going to be relatively consistent. You’ll want some sort of […]
If you own some type of a large structure that requires cooling at least for part of the year, you may consider using some QuietCool evaporative coolers. After all, these coolers are high performers that are easy to operate and ideal for a wide range of settings. Also, they are more cost-effective than traditional air […]
You don’t need us to tell you how hot and uncomfortable summer can get around here. When the weather starts to warm up and temperatures start to rise, it can become a constant battle in order to keep your home or business cool. Typically, when we get rolling heat waves this means that every air […]
Winterizing, an action that prevents appliances from being caught off-guard by the cold, does apply to evaporative coolers. In plain English, that efficient cooling mechanism relies on water. The liquid is stored inside the appliance, right inside a special reservoir. If a cold snap drops below zero, that water will freeze and expand, which means […]
A crooked pair of pads isn’t absorbing water. Instead, the cooling fluid is leaking. No matter how efficiently the pump operates, the temperature around the evaporative cooler barely drops. Fan action helps, but the drop is barely perceptible. Then, if the leak worsens, an ugly pool forms around the appliance housing. What’s the problem? Surely […]
Savvy appliance owners know all about an evaporative cooler’s inner workings. It’s an intricate image, one that’s meant for engineers. It’s not meant as an everyday resource. And that’s fine, for as long as it cools down the surrounding area, there’s no need to understand a complicated circuit drawing. All the same, curious minds are […]
When horses sweat, they become dehydrated. A well-run equestrian centre may provide plenty of drinking water, so thirst isn’t a major issue. However, equine animals can be skittish, so even this discomfort could be enough to cause distress. Worse yet, stress is a real issue when these beautiful animals become overheated. To stop livestock dehydration […]
