    Evaporative air coolers work by drawing hot air through a wet cooling medium, usually a honeycomb structure. As the air passes through, the water absorbs heat from the air and evaporates, cooling the air. A fan then circulates the cooler, moistened air into the room. Modern air cooler models, like those from Honeywell, improve efficiency with an ice tray during peak summer months. Evaporative coolers are cheaper to run than air conditioners and humidify dry air rather than dehumidifying it. However, they only work well in hot, dry environments while air conditioners function for both heating and cooling in any climate.

    Evaporative Air Coolers

    Evaporative air coolers are widely used in India. They are often referred to as swamp coolers, desert coolers
    or simply, coolers. Air coolers are cheaper to buy, run and maintain. The air cooler has a simple design.
    There is a tank at the bottom, an exhaust fan on one side and three replaceable mediums for water circulation.
    A pump is used to pass water through the cooling mediums that act as the walls on three sides of an
    evaporative air cooler. The fan is installed on the fourth side to pull hot air through the wet mediums.

    How Does an Evaporate Air Cooler Work?


    When warm air is drawn into an Air Cooler, it passes through a wet honeycomb cooling media. As it passes
    through the honeycomb cooling media, water flowing over it absorbs heat from the air causing the water to
    evaporate . This result in cooler, moisturized air. A powerful fan then propels this cool air into the room (or
    outdoor area). The result is a constant flow of fresh, moisturized, cool air while stale air is circulated out of
    the room through an open window or door.

    As the hot air passes through the wet medium, the water absorbs the heat and the fan releases cool air into
    ambient space. Modern air cooler models such as the ones from Honeywell have an ice tray to make the
    cooling more effective during peak summer months.

    The air conditioner uses stored coolant or refrigerant to recycle the air inside an ambient space. The coolant
    absorbs the heat from the room air and pushes cold air through a fan mechanism.

    Advantages of Evaporative Air Coolers
     Air coolers are eco-friendly as they use a natural process, i.e. evaporation of water, to cool the air.
     Air cooled by an air cooler is pleasant and offers optimal relief from the summer heat by
    humidifying the dry air. On the other hand, chemical refrigerants used by air conditioners can dip
    the temperatures way below normal, which is not good for health.
     Air coolers also recycle the indoor air through cross ventilation whereas air conditioners only
    recycle the ambient air which may increase the amount of pollutants present in an indoor
    environment.
     Air coolers are much more energy efficient than air conditioners, making them cheaper to run in
    comparison with air conditioners.
     Modern air coolers also come with dust filters to filter dust and debris from the incoming air.
     Portables air coolers can be moved within the house for multipurpose use whereas wall and
    window air conditioners are fixed units.
     Air Coolers from brands like Honeywell also have a ‘connect and forget’ feature which allows
    you to setup automatic water refill for the unit.
     Since air coolers use a simple mechanism, they are easy to maintain. Air conditioners, on the
    contrary, require periodic service and coolant refills which can be cumbersome and costly in the
    long run as well.
