Looking for advantages and disadvantages of Evaporative Cooling?

We have collected some solid points that will help you understand the pros and cons of Evaporative Cooling in detail.

Advantages

• Cost - effective: Evaporative air coolers are relatively inexpensive to purchase compared to air conditioners. Their energy consumption is low, typically consuming only 50% - 90% of the electricity used by air conditioners, which leads to significant long - term cost savings.

• Environment - friendly and energy - efficient: They operate using only water, without the need for chemical refrigerants, thus causing no harm to the environment. Their low - energy operation also contributes to reduced energy consumption.

• Easy to install and maintain: With a simple structure, they don't require professional installation. Just place the cooler, add water, plug it in, and set the operating time. Maintenance is straightforward, mainly involving regular cleaning and replacement of components like filters and wet curtains.

• Wide applicability: In arid climates, they can effectively lower air temperature and increase humidity, improving the dry environment and being beneficial to health. Some portable models can be moved freely, suitable for various places.

• Good air purification: As air passes through filters and wet curtains during operation, pollutants such as dust and pollen can be filtered out, enhancing air quality and reducing the risk of respiratory diseases.

• High air volume: Generally equipped with high - power fans, they can generate a large air volume, effectively reducing indoor temperature, making air circulation smoother, and keeping the air fresh.

Disadvantages

• Limited by environmental humidity: In high - humidity environments, the slow evaporation rate of water leads to poor cooling performance. When the humidity exceeds 60%, it not only fails to cool effectively but also increases air humidity, making people feel stuffy and uncomfortable. Additionally, it may promote the growth of mold.

RBW air cooler have its own patent, delay shutdown after the wind blow-dries the honeycomb,to prevent the cooling pad to get mold.

• Limited cooling capacity: They can't lower the temperature as significantly as air conditioners. Usually, the temperature reduction is only around 5℃ - 15℃, making it difficult to achieve a low and stable room temperature.

• Regular water refilling required: Due to water evaporation during operation, water needs to be continuously replenished. Lack of water will affect the cooling effect, causing inconvenience in use. 

   RBW air cooler Model: LL-V9A and LL-V6A series have big water tank (45L), 24 hours cooling timer.

• Noise: Some models generate relatively high noise levels, which can affect the user experience, especially in quiet environments, such as large - scale industrial evaporative air coolers.

       RBW air cooler use double centrifugal fan, strong wind, and lower noise.
