Climate change is happening. The World Glacier Monitoring Service reported that glaciers are melting at their fastest rate in the past 5000 years. The summers seem to be getting warmer as well. A NewAir AF-340 Swamp Cooler can help you cool off as the climate changes.
Swamp coolers use the simple process of evaporation to cool you down. They are incredibly cost effective and low tech. When compared to a standard air conditioner they are not only more affordable to purchase, but they are more affordable to maintain as well.
The NewAir AF-340 Swamp Cooler has excellent maneuverability. It is lightweight at only 22 pounds. It is compact, has rolling casters and has a carrying handle. To get the best use out of this swamp cooler, it should be used in an area that is very hot and very dry. If there is humidity in the air, the swamp cooler will simply add more humidity to the air which could cause an uncomfortable situation. If the temperature is not high, the water will not evaporate, which is how the cooler cools you.
A powerful 140W motor is used by the NewAir AF-340. It has three selection speeds for cost efficient cooling. The specially designed cooling pads are capable of holding a greater amount of liquid than other swamp coolers of comparable size. This means a higher cooling efficiency because more water is being evaporated.
For your convenience, an electronic remote control is included with the NewAir AF-340. It has a 20 liter water tank capacity so you will not have to fill it up as often. A built-in ionizer attracts harmful particulates such as dust and dander. To get rid of even more particles floating in the air, an optional TiO2 filter is also included on the swamp cooler.
To get rid of noxious odors, there is a carbon filter. Carbon filters are a piece of active carbon that helps remove contaminants and impurities. Most active carbon is made from coconut shells. Because of the fissures on their surface, they have a very large surface area in a small amount of space. Gases and particles are trapped in these fissures and held there. This is why the carbon filter on the NewAir AF-340 Swamp Cooler is incredibly effective at removing odors.
You should position your swamp cooler in a location that will create a flow through air effect. They should be in a room with two windows open if possible and the cooled air should be directed into the room. These units have a 1-8 hour timer and can be set to a fixed or continuously sweeping airflow.
Some people may think that the panic about rising climates in a bunch of baloney. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The one thing we can all agree on is that summer is generally hot. And when those generally hot temperatures descend upon us, we need something to cool us down. A NewAir AF-340 Swamp Cooler might be the solution to that very problem.
