There are certain conditions in which using an air conditioner is simply c dumb idea. For example, on hot summer noonday, it would be senseless to install an air conditioner out on the porch for a family gathering. That is where a portable swamp cooler can make a difference.
Swamp coolers are portable devices used to lower air temperature to a more comfortable level than the environment provides. Swamp coolers are just as effective outdoors as they are indoors because their design allows them to operate under most weather conditions. What is more, they come in different sizes and rotor power to give buyers the freedom of choice in deploying coolers for different needs.
A swamp cooler is designed to rotate one or more fans at high speed, turning the air gently but fast, reducing the temperature, and increasing the humidity. Most swamp coolers work with water; they use water to make the air humid.
If you want to keep your home cool during the hot season, you do not always need to use an air conditioner. Air conditioners cost much in the purchase price and electric bills. With a portable swamp cooler, you can achieve a similar result of lower room temperature without spending so much on paying bills.
Here is how you can use a swamp cooler at home:
- Purchase a fitting size: As swamp coolers come in different sizes. Each size is intended for different locations. Larger coolers are used outside the home, while smaller ones are used inside.
- Choose a central location in your home: Swamp coolers are capable of cooling the entire house if positioned centrally. You should choose a position that allows air to flow in every direction of your home so that the swamp cooler can work effectively.
- Maintenance: Portable swamp coolers are designed to work in almost every physical condition. Their rugged build ensures a long lifespan. However, they tend to accumulate dust over time and should be cleaned regularly to avoid decreased efficiency. To clean the swamp cooler, disconnect the mains lead and drain the water from the cooling tank. Next, remove the evaporative media with a screwdriver and then rinse and wipe the inside of the tank. Replace all parts securely.
Inspect the whole device regularly to detect any fault. If the wind speed or cooling efficiency reduces considerably, it is time to change the evaporating media.
