Facts to know about Evaporative Air Coolers

Many homes are nowadays switching to evaporative cooling systems as these perform well when the humidity high. Here is some information to help you to get better comfort and efficiency from your evaporative cooling systems.

Meaning of Evaporative Cooler?

Evaporative air coolers comes with box-shaped with a porous surface which allows air to pass easily. Inside, there is a fan which pulls surrounding air through the sides and into the home. To generate cooling air, each porous side is attached with a pad of material which is water absorbing. Storage of water is there in a pan which is at the bottom side of the cooler and small pump is attached there which lifts the water at the top of each side.

You need to damp but not soaked the pad each time if you want your home to be cooled. Effective cooling takes place when there is most dampness. Every-time you need to adjust the amount of water which pumps out to properly dampen the pads.   

Adjust the air flow of the cooling system?

Proper Air balance is required to maintain climate control inside a home with an Evaporative cooling systems. To have a limitation on humidity, you need to ensure that the same volume of air flows outside of the home as it is pumped in.
You need to install ducts(duct cooler) in each room or opening window when the air cooler is in usage to maintain a balanced air flow. A window needs to open that much which allows air pressure to easily and quietly close the door to that room. If the door closes with force, there is there is little space to exhaust and the window should be opened wider. 

Difference between Evaporative cooling vs Air conditioning

Evaporative cooling system as well as central air conditioners both serve the same purpose of cooling the place. But in fact, both these systems work very uniquely. Understanding both systems will help you a lot and also will help in the reduction of wasted energy.

Evaporate cooling system generate cold air by filtering it through water thus decreasing the temperature. During the cooling process, air absorbs water producing humid air. These systems work better when outside air circulates through the house while the air cooler is on.

Central air conditioners, on the other hand, work by taking out humid air out of the home. These systems generate dry, cold air and work best in airtight homes.

Things to remember 

• If you have both systems then don’t run them at the same time. Doing so will cause the system to work against each other.
• If you have central air conditioners, there is no need to crack a window or open the door to make the system work more effectively. In fact, this will make the system work harder and also will cost you more money.

Regardless of the systems, you are using make sure it's operating in good conditions. Systems that are noisy, leak water, don’t produce cold air are probably using a lot of energy and will ultimately increase your bill.
