What is evaporative cooling?
The Egyptians, Romans and Greeks where the first ones using pads (at
that time wet mats). Nowadays the heart of an evaporative cooling system
is the pad where the water evaporates and the air passing through the
pads is cooled.
Evaporative
cooling pads, like Küül-pads are manufactured of fluted cellulose
sheets that are glued together. This material is chemically impregnated
with special compounds to prevent rot and ensure a long service life.
A
special water distribution system spreads water over the surface of the
pad, ensuring an uniform supply of water to keep the entire air contact
surface thoroughly wetted. Fans create a negative pressure, causing air
to be drawn through the pads. Evaporation results from contact between
air and water. A control system operates the water pump and the fan
distributes the cool air.
The PORT-A-COOL® Portable evaporative cooler
PORT-A-COOL®´s operating costs are much lower than those of a central
air conditioner. The initial equipment cost is also lower than air
conditioners. Along with lower operating costs and simple installation,
evaporative cooling can be a perfect, ozone-friendly alternative to
traditional air conditioning.
It
operates at a 10th of the cost of conventional airconditioning and is
capable of cooling hundreds of square meters 7 degrees or more, saving
PORT-A-COOL® customers hundreds, or even thousands euros per season!

Since
PORT-A-COOL® is a state of the art, high efficiency, portable
evaporative cooling system, its high efficiency cooling media coupled
with a unique housing design, allows PORT-A-COOL® to cool effectively in
very high relative humidity conditions. Since, as its name implies, it
is portable, PORT-A-COOL® can be easily moved around shops, factories,
back yards, sporting events and hundreds of other areas for maximum
effectiveness, comfort and increased productivity.
PORT-A-COOL® uses a specially designed ridged cooling media, contained
in a properly designed housing to insure effective direction of the air
over the water saturated media at the proper air velocity.
