Air cooler use: the adiabatic operating principle
Theuse of an air cooler has been popular for many years in hot countries. Economical, this solution is also environmentally friendly, based mainly on the use of a wet pad and a fan.
How do FoxAir adiabatic air coolers work?
The operation of an air cooler is based on a simple, natural principle: evaporation, as it occurs in nature. This process refreshes the air by lowering the temperature in a room through the use of water, stored in a reservoir built into the unit. The drier and warmer the air, the more effective the cooler.
This constant enthalpy phenomenon, also known as adiabatic, uses a fan to distribute the cooled air. It represents an economical alternative to conventional air conditioners, and can be adapted to a wide range of appliance models. It’s a sustainable solution for replacing an energy-hungry air conditioner, while optimizing thermal comfort indoors.
Making the most of adiabatic air conditioning performance
Theuse of a bio-air conditioner relies on two essential elements: water and electricity. A submersible pump collects water from a large reservoir and transfers it to the heat exchanger, where it circulates continuously. The ambient air, often laden with heat, comes into contact with this moisture and cools by evaporation. The heat exchanger, made from an impermeable cardboard derivative, ensures smooth operation of the system while limiting energy consumption. The cooling effect is then distributed throughout the house by integrated fans.
This type of appliance, sometimes mobile, adapts easily to different environments and offers a durable solution for lowering the degrees in living areas. The resulting air-conditioning system operates for several hours, until the reservoir is completely emptied. A buying guide can help you compare models according to price, efficiency, or their dual function as cooler and humidifier.
Choosing an adiabatic unit
Theuse of an air cooler is closely linked to the surface area and volume of air to be cooled. For optimum performance, FoxAir performs a complete analysis before proposing one or more models with the appropriate power ratings. This type of equipment can be particularly useful in hot weather, thanks to its environmentally-friendly operating mode and low power consumption. If the level of limescale in the water is high, it’s advisable to set the unit to anti-scale, to preserve the filter’s performance and extend the unit’s lifespan.
After unpacking your mobile model and removing the clamps, vacuum the bottom of the tank to remove any residue. Connect the system to the water supply, then the plug to the mains: start-up is quick and easy. This ventilation solution is clearly different from conventional air conditioning, offering significant advantages in terms of freshness, energy efficiency and the difference in room comfort.
Finally, we recommend using a disinfectant after a certain period of use, to guarantee air quality, especially if the cooler is running continuously. For further advice, or to choose the options best suited to your heating or ventilation needs, consult the available guides and compare the watts and functions available for each model.
