01
Water-based cooling
Water moves through the evaporative media, creating the wet surface needed for the evaporative cooling process.
Cool Boss Benefits
A Different Way to Cool.
Cool Boss uses water, evaporative media and high-volume airflow to provide cooling without relying on a compressor-based refrigeration cycle.
Evaporative Cooling
Cooling through water and airflow.
Evaporative cooling works differently from conventional refrigerated air conditioning.
Cool Boss draws warm air through water-saturated evaporative media. As water evaporates, heat is removed from the incoming air before a high-volume fan distributes the cooled air into the surrounding workspace.
This makes evaporative cooling a practical option for many garages, shops, warehouses and other ventilated spaces where traditional air conditioning may be difficult or impractical to use.
Simple by Design
A fundamentally different cooling process.
Instead of using a refrigeration cycle to condition enclosed indoor air, evaporative cooling uses the natural process of evaporation together with high-volume airflow.
02
No compressor-based refrigeration
The cooling process does not depend on the compressor-driven refrigeration cycle used by conventional air-conditioning systems.
03
High-volume airflow
Once air passes through the evaporative media, the fan moves the cooled air into the surrounding work area.
Portable Cooling
Cool the area where you need it.
A portable evaporative cooler gives you the flexibility to bring airflow closer to the people, equipment and work areas that need cooling.
In a large facility, that can provide an alternative to trying to maintain one temperature throughout every part of the building.
As the work moves, a portable Cool Boss can be repositioned to support changing cooling needs throughout the day.
Cooling Technologies
Evaporative cooling vs. refrigerated A/C.
Neither technology is appropriate for every application. They use different cooling processes and are designed around different operating environments.
Water + evaporation + airflow
Evaporative coolers draw warm air through water-saturated media and distribute the cooled air with a fan. They are generally best suited to hot, dry conditions with adequate ventilation and fresh-air exchange.
Refrigeration + enclosed air
Conventional air conditioning uses a refrigeration cycle to remove heat and typically performs best in enclosed spaces where conditioned air can be contained and recirculated.

Climate and ventilation matter.
Evaporative cooling performance depends on ambient temperature, relative humidity, ventilation, airflow and the size and layout of the area. Evaporative coolers are generally most effective in hot, dry conditions with sufficient fresh-air exchange.

Swamp Coolers Protect the Environment
Cool Boss is great for you, but gets better once you think about its hidden benefits. A Cool Boss evaporative cooler not only saves you thousands of dollars over A/C, but those cost savings have a direct positive impact on the environment. Air conditioners use a hefty amount of electricity from power plants, and those plants may be nuclear or fossil-fuel-based. This means carbon dioxide, mercury and other harmful pollutants get pushed into the air. In places like the U.S., HCFCs have long-since replaced CFCs as cooling agents, and even these are being replaced by ozone-friendly coolants. That’s good news, but it doesn’t change the fact that unlike swamp coolers, air conditioners run off chemicals, and those chemicals can, and do, leak over time. Disposing of air conditioners requires the help of an EPA-certified organization.
It’s hard to imagine modern society without A/C. When we’re in our cars on a hot day or weekends lounging at home mid-Summer, the use of coolants has changed our lives for the better. Still, we pay for it. Whether it’s harmful ozone effects, the high cost of operation or maintenance bills when the machine breaks, we’re paying a lot for our coolant systems. Cool Boss is a high-value option that can provide comfortable working temperatures for a fraction of the cost of A/C. If you’ve been reading this website, you already know swamp coolers cost about a dollar per day to operate. For optimal cooling, a portable swamp cooler like Cool Boss can be rolled anywhere and operated in any location with direct access to an outdoor air source.
