Make Your Air Cooler More Efficient This Summer

Published: 22-02-2023

Summers can be rough in India, especially in some parts. Temperatures can go up to a whopping 45 degree Celsius in some parts of the country. Many of us use air coolers to battle the summer heat. They are both, cost effective and also provide a lot of comfort. However the rising temperatures every year means we need to use air coolers more efficiently. We’ve compiled a few simple tips that can help you achieve just that.

Ensure proper ventilation in the room

One of the most efficient way of using an air cooler is to provide proper ventilation for it in the room. The common misconception is that air coolers, like air conditioners work efficiently, if they are placed in closed spaces. That’s not true. Air coolers work on the basis of evaporation, by blowing hot air through cooling pads that have been soaked with water. Hence a smooth airflow is essential for its cooling. The best place to position your air cooler is right in front of the window. Hotter the air, faster the evaporation and cooler the air blown out by the fan. It’s also important to create good ventilation in the room to push the humidity out. In order to do this, you need to open windows in the room. Take care not to open them too wide or it will only result in increasing the room’s temperature. You can experiment by adjusting the window a little to improve the amount of cooling.

Add ice to water

Another effective way of increasing the cooling efficiency is by adding ice to the water in the tank. Many people have already tried it with their coolers. In fact, some coolers also come with dedicated ice compartments. Adding ice to the water makes the pads cooler, resulting in cool air passing through them. However, it is effective only when you are seated very close to the cooler. In the long run though, adding ice will not help decrease the temperature or the humidity in the room. Adding too much ice can also cause the evaporation process to slow down, hampering the efficiency of the air cooler. This makes it important know, when to put ice in the cooler. Adding ice will prove to be more effective when you’re dealing with very high temperatures.

Take good care of air cooler

It is important to get your air cooler checked before using it this summer. One of the first things you should do is clean the cooling pads. Over time, they collect dust and pollen. You can use a brush to clean the pads once a week. If a lot of dust has accumulated, then the best option would be to replace them. It’s also important to clean the water tank and make sure there are no leaks. A quick swipe over the fan blades will help improve the efficiency. It’s advisable to get the air cooler serviced regularly.

Saturating the cooling pads before use

One way of ensuring instant cooling is by letting the pump run while filling the tank with water. The pump will run the water through the cooling pads, allowing them to soak the water beforehand. You can run the fan after the tank is full. This helps the cooler to cool the air, as soon as you turn it on.

Other things to consider

There are a few other things you can do to increase the efficiency of your air cooler. It could be something as simple as shutting the drapes in your room to avoid heat from entering the room or switching off lights and other appliances. Make sure you have the air cooler installed in the right place, where it can lower the temperature effectively while providing cool air to everybody in the room. In such cases, you haven’t replaced your air cooler in a while or are considering a new one, we have a wide range of air coolers and air conditioners to choose from.

Protect Yourself In This Summer Heat

It’s that time of the year again - the time when we sweat through all our pores and wait desperately for rains to arrive. The summertime in India can be brutal even for the most experienced of us. Besides making us feel tired and zapped, it can even be downright harmful by increasing the risk of heatstroke. So how does one protect oneself in this heat? Across India, millions of people are making calculations for AC and Air Coolers. The share of Indians with air conditioning is still small, roughly 5 percent, but it's growing fast. Rising incomes are making air conditioners more attainable, while rising temperatures are making them a necessity. “There are hundreds of millions of people for whom air conditioning doesn't seem like a luxury good,” said Michael Greenstone, director of the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago. “It can mean the difference between life and death.” The world is on track to add 700 million new ACs by 2030, and 1.6 billion by 2050, largely in hot, developing countries like India and Indonesia. But the AC boom threatens to worsen the crisis it’s responding to, and widen the divide between those who can afford to stay cool and those left out in the heat. Air conditioners use refrigerants, and some of the most common types - hydro fluorocarbons, or HFCs - are powerful greenhouse gases, with thousands of times the warming potential of carbon dioxide. If HFC use continues to grow at its current pace, these chemicals could make up as much as 19 percent of emissions by 2050. International initiatives are set to phase down the worst offenders, but air conditioners contribute to climate change in a second way: they consume a tremendous amount of electricity. Handling the growing load will require adding thousands of new power plants to the grid. Coolers can also do something air conditioners cannot: because they lower the temperature of the air that passes through them, rather than removing heat from a sealed room, they can cool people in huge open spaces and even outdoors. Cavernous factories, warehouses, outdoor restaurants, and amusement parks will be growing markets for coolers, especially as temperatures rise. Features of Air Coolers: 1. Quality of Air 2. Economical Alternative of Air Conditioner 3. The Eco-friendly Route 4. Easy Installation & Portable As you can see that air coolers definitely have their own place in the world. Especially, since they come with such a host of features like silent operation, remote control, multiple speed settings and more. Moreover, nowadays coolers are digitally enhanced and aesthetically pleasing to fit right in. Now that you are informed, go ahead and invest in a quality air cooler to keep the sweltering heat away. http://www.kaybeegroup.in/

DIY Ideas To Keep Cool Your Home During Summer

The long, hot summers of India can be quite unforgiving. As temperatures rise, most of us resort to keeping our homes cool by using air conditioners. The irony is, while draining our pockets to keep our houses cool, we are also burning enough fossil fuels, making the world a hotter place. Check out these tips that will keep you and your house cool, save you money, and help you be kind to the earth: Use water to cool the home Home hacks can work well. A simple trick involves using a bucket of water. Dip the bottom hems of your curtains into the bucket and leave the fan on. The water slowly seeps upwards through the fabric and the breeze will carry the coolness into the room. Keep the rooms dark We all know how relaxing it is, to get away from the glare of a hot summer sun and into a cool space, under the shade. To achieve this, buy cotton curtains in the darkest colour possible. Ensure that the curtains have a thick lining, so that the sunlight doesn't fade them. Dark green or brown are easy choices. Keep the curtains drawn shut, right from morning. If your room stays shielded from sunlight all day, it is bound to remain relatively cooler. Leave the bathroom door open Keep your bathroom door open, pour a few litres of water on the floor and let the breeze do its job again. Place plants near the window Leafy plants, too, can work wonders. If you have some large decorative or potted plants around, move them closer to your windows. They will absorb most of the heat and create a cooling effect around them. Leave the fridge alone You may be tempted to reach for cold water and ice-cubes frequently, but opening and shutting the refrigerator multiple times, increases the load and temperature on its motor. This, in turn, increases the ambient temperature in your house. Use cool lighting options From LEDs to fluorescent lights, there are many cool lighting options available, so there’s no reason to continue using hot incandescent bulbs. Similarly, switch off all electrical appliances, especially the TV, when not in use. Even a mobile charger emits heat. Use cotton fabrics Summer is no time for fancy satin or silk bedsheets, or for faux leather upholstery. Buy at least one set of crisp cotton bedsheets, in white or pastel shades. If your couch is upholstered in any fabric that’s not cotton or linen, buy some sofa covers or throws that are made of cotton. Open the windows at sunset If you throw open your windows at the right time, you will get the benefit of the cool evening breeze. This will lower the temperature of your home and make it more comfortable for the night ahead. Also, open up every internal door in your house, including kitchen cabinets and bathroom, bedroom and closet doors. This will help, to dissipate the heat that is built up during the course of the day and reduce the overall temperature. Remember to close these doors as soon as the next day dawns and the sun is up again. Buy Air Cooler Nothing can give you respite from the sweltering heat in India other than an AC or an air cooler. If you are confused between an air cooler and an air conditioner, then you are not alone. Air coolers are an economical option than an AC. The price of an air conditioner in India may range between Rs.25,000 and Rs.60,000. On the other hand, the cost of an air cooler is between Rs.5,000 and Rs.20,000. Not only the buying cost, but the cost of operating an air cooler is also much lower than an AC. An air cooler consumes up to 80% less electricity than an AC. Also, an air cooler consumes only 30% more power than a ceiling fan. Example: If you are paying electricity bills of up to Rs.2,000 per month on using an AC, the same will be Rs.500 for an air cooler. Hence, if you are looking for an economical alternative to beat the heat, then buying an air cooler is a smart option. In India, you can find many leading brands offering different air coolers in multiple price ranges. You can opt for one as per your needs and budget. Air coolers don’t need any installation Air coolers don’t require you to get them installed before you can start using them. You can simply fill water in the tank and plug the power button to begin experiencing cool air instantly. For air conditioners, you can’t start using them after buying unless installed.
