Evapolar coolers work on the principle that water, when evaporating, absorbs the heat from the air. Due to that fact, it has a few requirements to work as efficiently as possible:
 |
Evapolar works best in dry air, as its working principle is turning hot dry air into a cool, moist one. If the humidity is higher than 70% (due to the area's climate, lack of ventilation in the room, etc), the temperature will not reduce significantly. | |
 |
If Evapolar is used in an enclosed space, it will gradually raise humidity while working and reduce its own effectiveness. Keep a window or a door open to prevent that. | |
 |
To feel the expected effect, you need to be in front of the device, within a 1-1,5m distance. It feels like a cool breeze on a hot day. | |
 |
If the water used contains high amounts of minerals or iron, it may leave a residue on the filter or change its color. It is not harmful to your health but may reduce the lifespan of the cartridge. |
What do Evapolar coolers do, if you meet all these requirements?
What Evapolar coolers don't do?
| X | Cool the whole room (it can cool a really small enclosed space though, like a car or a tent). |
| X | Allow you to regulate the outgoing temperature (as it depends on the ingoing temperature and humidity). |
| X | Kill viruses and bacteria in your room. |
The cooling potential for evaporative cooling depends on the relative humidity in the room and on the initial temperature. Hotter and drier air leads to a bigger difference in the temperatures. On the table below you can see the relation between air humidity and the temperature drop*.
