Summer Knocking the Door; Leads Us to Battle for Selection of the Right Air Cooler
Air conditioning is not for every class of people. ACs are not environment-friendly products, but air coolers are. They are expensive to buy and pay electricity bills. So, air coolers win the battle against Air Conditions.
There are different types of air coolers available on the market. However, two main types of air coolers are the talk of the town: typical room coolers and desert coolers. Let’s first see what the difference is between these two.
Common Room Coolers or Personal Coolers:
Suitable for:
It is ideal for small to mid-size rooms.
Location of Cooler:
Indoor or inside the room.
Water Capacities:
Up to 40 liters.
Price:
Cheaper than desert coolers
Desert Coolers:
Suitable for:
It is ideal for mid-size to large rooms.
Location of Cooler:
Outdoor or fitted outside the room.
Water Capacities:
40 to 80 and above liters.
Price:
Costlier than personal coolers
Now, you understand the difference between the two. It may help you make a buying decision. However, making an air cooler buying decision depends on other factors, and I will illustrate those here.
Which Key Features Will You Consider While Making a Buying Decision for Air Coolers?
I’ve extracted some key features to consider while making a buying decision for your air cooler.
Water Tank Capacity:
We know the basic principle by which air coolers operate: the water evaporation method. So, inevitably you need water. A water tank stores the required water.
Now, you must decide the capacity of your air cooler’s water tank. One fact is evident here: the size of your room where you will install the air cooler determines the water tank capacity.
The larger the room, the larger the water tank you need; the same is true and vice versa. So, you’ll consider your room size to select the water storage capacity of your air cooler.
Remember that personal air coolers mostly come with a 20–30-liter water tank capacity. The desert coolers often come with a 30-50-liter water tank capacity in the market.
Airflow:
We know the blower/fan in the air cooler is blowing the air and creating air movement in your space. The air movement is vital to an air cooler’s function, as it leads to water evaporation to cool down the room temperature.
Technically, we measure airflow by CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) unit. It means a cubic feet volume of air moving per minute in the room. How will you calculate CFM? Suppose your room is 300 sq. feet in size with 10 feet ceiling height. So, your room is 300 X 10/2. Yes, you need to divide the volume of your room with factor 2 to count the CFM of the room. So, the CFM required is 1500. Bravo! You know how to calculate the CFM of a room.
The next factor is air pressure created by the fan or blower of your air cooler. We have seen earlier that the size of your air cooler depends on the size of your room. Large air coolers have more giant fans, while small air coolers have smaller sizes of fans.
So, you have little room to change the fan size in your air cooler, but of course, you can change the fan speed in your air cooler by setting the speed nob. Most standard air coolers offer three-speed setting nobs in the fan, which is enough.
Cooling Pad:
In the early days, we had only one technology to make cooling pads: aspen or cellulose material made of tiny paper ribbons. Today, we have advanced technology: Honeycomb, which is a denser material with a longer life than aspen. The design of the honeycomb offers more efficient cooling in your air coolers.
Design:
You should select the design of your air cooler that must fit with the aesthetic of your room design in terms of colors, shape, size, style, etc. Today we have ample scope to select the right design for your air cooler in the market. Sagar Air Cooler offers multitudes of design options in each series of the company or custom air coolers.
Recent trends favor tower air cooler design the most because it consumes less space on the floor and offers other advantages that you find with different designs. However, most air coolers come with attachable wheels, so you can quickly move them from one room to another.
Inverter:
Yes, air coolers come with inverters to save you from frequent power drops in your area. Moreover, inverters save some percentage of power consumption. So, adding an inverter as a feature is advantageous on the energy efficiency front.
Remote Control:
Today most air coolers come with a remote control to manage fan speed without getting up frequently to control the fan speed over and over again to change the setting.
I hope the present discussion over the features of an air cooler will help you select the best piece for you.
