How Evaporative Cooling Works:

The evaporative air cooler draws in hot, dry air. This air passes through a wet cooling pad, where water evaporates, absorbing heat and converting the hot air into cooler, more humid air. This process is most effective in dry climates. For optimal performance, ensure adequate ventilation in the room.
