An Evaporative Air Cooler Can Help You Cool Down Without Mains Power

We live in a stunning country, it has endless beautiful vistas, incredible beaches and a climate that most of the rest of the world envy. However, while it is all well and good to be enjoy a 30+ day at the beach, if you are anywhere else then you are going to want cooling. Sure it is nice to have the almost never ending sunshine that we do here but if you do not have a cool refuge you can escape to then this heat will fast become too much for you. Often though we are not near mains power and without mains power having cooling is impossible, right? Wrong, that is where the power of evaporative cooling comes into play. Get an evaporative air cooler.

An evaporative cooler (otherwise known as a swamp cooler, desert cooler, and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water. Evaporative cooling differs from typical air conditioning systems which uses vapour-compression or absorption refrigeration cycles. Evaporative cooling works by employing water's large enthalpy of vaporization.

The temperature of dry air can be dropped significantly through the phase transition of liquid water to water vapour (evaporation), which can cool air using much less energy than refrigeration. In extremely dry climates, evaporative cooling of air has the added benefit of conditioning the air with more moisture for the comfort of building occupants.

You can get some awesome 12 volt units that will help you keep cool in even the most intense heat. These small evaporative cooling unit are totally portable, they are simply able to blow a cool breeze over the user whilst in front of the unit, they will not cool down a ‘room’ to a controlled temperature, this is where a refrigerated unit is required. In other words, they do not refrigerate but they can cool.

Look for a unit that has all the necessary features, it should be lightweight, offer a quieter, powerful moisture proof electric fans with 80,000+ hours life span, be able to deliver air up to 50% cooler (at the vent) than ambient air temperature (when using ice water), have durable evaporative filters with increased air velocity & life span (800+ hours), be able to simply plug into 12 volt cigarette lighter socket and come with an easy to fill screw cap lid- with overfill protection.

Keep yourself cool when you are out in the heat and away from mains power with an evaporative cooler, these little units can save your life.
