As the heat of summer drags on into the first weeks of autumn, it’s important to equip your business premises with a suitable solution.
Among the various types of appliance available, the air cooler has the advantage of being both economical and natural. But how does an air cooler work? FoxAir explains everything and presents its range of products…

How does an air freshener work?

The air cooler differs from the air conditioner in the way it works: while the latter uses a refrigerant to cool the air captured by an outdoor unit, the air cooler is 100% natural.

The cooler is also known as an adiabatic air cooler, because it works by evaporation. The idea here is to reproduce a process that occurs in nature. This is precisely what answers the question: what is an air freshener?

How does an air cooler work? It’s so simple! Each unit has a large reservoir which is filled with fresh water. Once the unit is plugged in, the water flows gently over a pad to humidify it. The unit draws in ambient air and passes it through the pad to evaporate.

Thanks to its fan, the machine then redistributes this cooled air inside the room. The ambient temperature is then lowered, to a greater or lesser extent depending on the outside temperature, humidity and, of course, the power of the machine and the surface area to be treated.

The air cooler and its advantages

An air cooler has definite advantages over an air conditioner. First and foremost, it’s a more economical solution in every respect: the FoxAir range, for example, is mobile thanks to its castors, while the vast majority of products available on the market are either mobile or fixed, but made up of a single unit to be placed on the floor. So there’s no need to worry about expensive installation costs! Once plugged in, the unit consumes very little energy.

They also operate in an environmentally-friendly way, using no polluting refrigerants. All you need is water and an electrical connection!

Last but not least, industrial models like those in the FoxAir range can cool large areas (up to several hundred square meters) and therefore have nothing to envy from air conditioners.

FoxAir is a specialist in evaporative air coolers for professionals, and more particularly for industry.
