Benefits of an Evaporative Air Cooler

If you’re here, you’re probably looking for ways to keep your shop or garage space cool while saving as much money as possible. In the hottest days of the year, this can be difficult. If you’ve been skeptical about those self-proclaimed “energy-efficient” A/C units, and simple industrial-size fans just aren’t enough, a portable evaporative air cooler might be for you. They’re affordable, easy to maintain and inexpensive to operate.

In fact, if you’re replacing A/C and running your cooler full-time, it should pay for itself in the first year of use. No coolants or chemicals are necessary, because swamp coolers use the cooling power of evaporation. A small water supply, an evaporative media pad and a massive fan blade work together to chill up to 2,500 sq. ft. with ease. With its simple yet efficient design, Cool Boss quickly cools incoming hot, dry air up to 26°F and evenly distributes a chilled breeze across large work spaces.

The cubic feet per minute (CFM) output of your portable swamp cooler is crucial. This number tells you how many square feet the unit can cool, and how efficient it will be at lowering ambient shop temperatures. Fan size is relevant too, so our evaporative air coolers offer a 30"+ diameter fan blade and motors that generate well over 10,000 CFM. This is more cooling power than other, far more expensive models of a comparable size. When shopping for a swamp cooler, pay close attention to the CFM. You’ll only benefit from your purchase if you get the right amount of power for your space.
