While evaporative coolers achieve significant temperature drops in more arid climates and drier spaces, they can provide relief from the heat in any climate due to the advancements in evaporative cooling technology. These aren’t the swamp coolers of years ago! Even in hot and humid areas, such as Houston, you can still expect to see…
Read MoreMaybe. All Classic Portacool evaporative coolers and Portacool Cyclone evaporative coolers require a standard three-prong 115-volt electrical outlets. Portacool Jetstream evaporative coolers EXCEPT the Portacool Jetstream 270 (PACJS270) also use a standard three-prong 115-volt electrical outlets. The exceptions to standard outlets are: Portacool Jetstream 270 (PACJS270) requires a 5-20R power outlet; the Portacool Hurricane 360…
Read MoreThe model/part and serial numbers can be found on a metal plate on the outside of the evaporative cooler. Model/part numbers begin with the letters “PAC.” Serial numbers are all digits.
Read MoreWith no direct water source available, the water will evaporate in a filled tank within two to 10 hours of operation, depending on the water capacity of the evaporative cooler, ambient conditions, temperature and humidity. A water source for refilling the tank is recommended by the manufacturer. Most Portacool evaporative coolers can be connected to…
Read MoreAn increase in humidity of approximately two to five percent is produced depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment. This increase is not noticeable in a ventilated area where the air produced by the cooler is exhausted. When properly ventilated, an evaporative cooler will not cause condensation or rust.
Read MoreMisting systems spray a shower of water into the air that will collect on people, objects, equipment and floors, no matter how fine. Portacool evaporative coolers do use water, but the process of evaporation produces cooler air without a mist. A small amount of humidity is added to the air, but with proper ventilation it…
Read MoreFor optimum evaporative cooler performance, the temperature should be 85˚ F or higher and the relative humidity should be below 75%. However, Portacool evaporative coolers will reduce the temperature in almost any environment, making it more comfortable.
