KEY POINTS REGARDING AIR COOLERS

What are personal air coolers?

Personal coolers or tower coolers are the same. These are made for personal use and at max 2 people can benefit from them. Secondly, these work best under 40°.  Thirdly, you get benefit only while sitting in front of them as they never cool the room. And fourthly, they are best for dry climate but not good for humid or wet climate areas.

• If you get a pungent smell from your cooler, then it is because of irregular changing of water. In these coolers, it is mandatory to change the water in every 2-3 days. Second, clean its pads every 2-3 weeks. Otherwise doesn’t matter which cooler it is or of which brand or how costly, it will definitely smell foul.

• No personal cooler brand declares noise levels because they are always high. It sounds between 70dB-75dB irrespective of its brand and price. Their noise levels are higher than that of washing machines because an average washing machine has 60dB-65dB.

• If there is humidity in the room when you switch on the cooler, then it is because of ventilation and not the cooler. Proper ventilation is necessary while using a personal or dessert cooler. Improper ventilation will definitely cause humidity even if the cooler is working.

• Switch on the pump for 2-3 minutes before you start using the cooler, and then start the fan. This is the correct way to operate a cooler.

• Now comes an important thing- cooling pads which are of 2 types- 1) Wood Wool Cooling Pads. These are made of wood shavings and synthetic fibers which in casual language is called grass. These are old type of pads with high maintenance, less durability, they get dirty easily and when they catch dirt, they can only be replaced and not cleaned. All in all, they are outdated now and must be avoided.
• 2) Second are the Honeycomb Cooling Pads which are made of cellulose material and are three times more expensive then wood wool pads but they are also three times more durable. Their maintenance is low, can be cleaned easily and the cooler performs efficiently with these pads.
