Cooling the Outdoor Room - and Other Locations
Monday, March 24, 2014, MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE
Here's a product from Munters that cools the air, whether that air is inside the house or outside, and it does so by evaporation.
By using water, and a series of mechanisms such as pumps and evaporative media, an evaporative cooler can significantly lower ambient temperatures.
Which, in case you haven't noticed, is very much in need these days.
All Munters' portable evaporative coolers use rigid evaporative media to facilitate the evaporation process, and fans to deliver the cooled air into the environment.
Here's the process of an evaporative cooler:
1. Water is introduced to the cooler - either in a reservoir, or by a continuous connection.
2. A pump moves the water to the top of the evaporative media.
3. Gravity pulls the water across the media, saturating the media with water.
4. A fan pulls outside, hot air through the saturated media.
5. When the hot, outside air contacts the water on the media, evaporation occurs, cooling the air.
6. The fan pushes the cooled air into the environment.
How much do evaporative coolers cool?
A range of possible temperature drops is 10 to 27 degrees F. This range is directly affected by humidity and temperature. If you're in a desert climate with high temperatures, you can expect much more cooling than someone in a humid, cool climate.
Where to use evaporative coolers
Use Munters portable evaporative cooling units to extend
your summertime enjoyment on your patios, around your pools, or during outdoor events such as barbecues, birthday parties and holidays. Cool areas outdoors with powerful fans delivering cool air produced by the process of evaporation. Just as you receive a chill climbing out of the pool in the summer, Munte evaporative cooling units can cool an outdoor living area.
