There are a lot of features of an evaporative air cooler that you need to know about, the effectiveness of such air cooler, it also has certain advantages and disadvantages that urges people to install a portable air cooler in their rooms or apartments. The evaporative coolers are considered to work differently from how the conventional air conditioners work.

Knowing more about the evaporative cooler, it works on the basis of endothermic reaction. The endothermic reaction is a simple process where the energy is absorbed in the form of heat. IN the evaporative air cooler, the air passes through the wet pads, wicks absorbed with water. As the air passes through the pads, the water in the pads evaporates and this causes the heat in the air to be absorbed and converted to cool environment.

There are a lot of homeowners that prefer to have the evaporative air cooler as a money saving option to get rid of the heat in the hot months. The evaporative air cooler can be installed in the windows or walls or roof of the homes. An advantage of air cooler is that they are cost efficient as they need low maintenance and thus it saves the homeowners one third of the energy cost.

When you choose to use the traditional air cooler, you shall find the unit using refrigerants or coolants to absorb the heat and produce cold air. The air then moves throughout the room and the heat is ventilated out of the room. However, with the evaporative air cooler, it follows the process of endothermic reaction and does not use any kind of coolants.

Therefore, to add water to the tank, you will have to do it manually. There are coolers that are known to have dehumidifiers, which are sold as personal air cooler. Where the air conditioners are known to be highly priced, the personal air coolers are cheaper.

Similar to the smaller units of evaporative coolers, even the commercial coolers works effectively at a low cost when compared to large air conditioners. Along with this the evaporative coolers cover more space, which is at least 4000 square feet.

Even greenhouses are also known to make use of the evaporative air coolers. As the evaporative air coolers, make use of water content in the air to cool the air, it becomes useful for the plants not only to get the needed water but also have a cool environment. Where the air conditioner installed in room it needs to be sealed to work effective, but with evaporative air cooler, you need to have an open window to allow it to perform effective.

Do remember that additional features cost you extra, however even though the features add up to the cost of the evaporative cooler, it cost of buying the portable cooler is still less than an conventional air conditioner. Moreover the maintenance and energy charges are also low.
