The first thing that must be taken into consideration is that an evaporative air cooler is not a traditional air conditioner (even though some people call it outdoor A/C). What some calls “outdoor Air conditioners” are actually evaporative air cooling systems, i.e., that cool the air through water evaporation & temperature to built a reservoir of water and ice.

Evaporative air coolers are recommended for homes that support a hot and dry climate. It is contraindicated in those places where there is high humidity. In fact, there is to ventilate the room frequently to avoid condensation of moisture and so the air conditioner to cool new air repeatedly.

This continuous ventilation of the room allows to expel warm and stale air and prevents the entry of dust from the outside.

-In dry climates they may lower the temperature between 10 and 12 degrees.

-In humid climates, between 5 and 7 degrees.

In this sense, the more dry sea environment, greater will be the cooling and, therefore, greater the consumption of water also.

The criteria that you should keep in mind when choosing an evaporative air conditioner is if you need it for use indoor or outdoor of the House and the square meters to be air conditioned.

-For a stay of between 10 and 15 m² a 100 w cooling unit is needed.

-For a stay from 20 m² (such as a living room) is sufficient for a 150 w cooling unit.

-In the case of heated outdoor you need a unit with more power and a plug to connect it. Some models allow you to connect a hose directly to renew the water.

It is necessary to carry out a review, cleaning and disinfection annual deposit of water. He is recommended, in addition, a last test of the appliance at the end of the season.
