Yes. Water evaporating from saturated media absorbs heat from incoming air. A fan then moves that cooler airflow into the surrounding area. The amount of cooling depends heavily on ambient temperature and relative humidity.

Common applications include warehouses, workshops, manufacturing facilities, service areas, garages, loading areas and other open or well-ventilated work environments.

Refrigerated air conditioning typically uses a compressor and refrigerant to condition and recirculate air. Direct evaporative cooling uses water evaporation and moving fresh air, adding some moisture as it operates.

Direct evaporative cooling generally works best with a source of fresh air and a path for warmer, moisture-laden air to leave the space. That airflow path is particularly important for indoor applications.

Yes. Hotter, drier incoming air generally offers greater evaporative cooling potential. As relative humidity rises, the air can accept less additional moisture and the potential temperature reduction decreases.

Warehouses can be suitable applications when fresh-air exchange and ventilation are available. Portable units can also be positioned near workstations, loading areas and other occupied zones instead of attempting to condition the entire building.

There is no single coverage figure that applies to every installation. Model airflow, facility layout, ceiling height, ventilation, temperature, humidity and placement all affect real-world results. Use the specifications for the individual cooler when planning an application.

Temperature reduction varies with ambient temperature, relative humidity, airflow, ventilation, water conditions, placement and the individual cooler. Hotter and drier conditions generally provide greater evaporative cooling potential.

Cool Boss offers portable models that can be repositioned as work areas and cooling needs change. Size, weight, caster configuration, water capacity and other mobility features vary by model.

Consider your work-area dimensions, layout, occupied zones, desired airflow, ventilation, typical temperature and humidity, available electrical service, water access and how often the cooler needs to be moved. Then compare those requirements with each model's specifications.
