Portable Cooling Systems are typically designed to cool one or two people in the area they sleep or eat. It doesn't matter how large the cabin or camper is, as you will cool the common area they reside like in the sleeping or eating area or watching television. The advantage of portable spot cooling is that you can move the cooler to where you need the cooling for 12-volt operation where you do not have 110-volts available to cool the entire area.

We have been in the business of providing relief from the heat in vehicles with our 12-volt cooling systems since 1989; however we are most interested in providing you with the best known facts available before you consider purchasing one! Did you know that Factory installed Air Conditioners in Vehicles produce 15,000 to 20,000 BTU which is enough to typically cool a Four or Five-Room house? The most powerful portable versatile 12-volt Air Conditioners produce 8,000 BTU produced by the Swampy Co. See similar questions...

Summary: Ice or ice water produces about three degrees cooler air from an evaporative cooler for a short period of time and helps more dramatically if the cooler has been sitting in a hot area. Ice may be added directly into the water with care in the standard Swampy. See similar questions...

Swampy is a 12-volt devise and like all other 12-volt devices that can be very simply operated through a converter. You may also operate Swampy directly off of a 10-amp battery charger or converter if you want to use it in a shop, tent or spare bedroom at home. The MightyKool MW1 is designed to operate from a low amperage converter like our Model #ACD 4 AMP Converter. Just plug in the MW1 into most any low powered converter as it draws less than 2 amps even on high Speed. See similar questions...

A portable evaporative cooler requires no installation or wiring and can be used anywhere spot cooling is needed. Suited for residential and commercial applications, use portable coolers to cool rooms, offices, garages, workshops, garden centers, auto shops, dog kennels, outdoor tents, horse stables, exercise areas, industrial plants, commercial kitchens, farming (i.e. poultry, hog, and dairy buildings), laundries, dry cleaners, and greenhouses.

The most important thing is to place a portable evaporative cooler where there is plenty of fresh air. The best position is adjacent to an open window or external door with additional openings on the opposite side of the room for relief air. This placement will provide the most cooling comfort.

Empty and replace the water reservoir at least once a week with fresh clean water to reduce scale or mineral deposits from building up on the pad. At a minimum, clean your cooler (water system and filters) at least once during the season or more periodically depending on usage. This will help maintain the high performance of your cooler. Refer to your Owners Manual for required maintenance and scheduling. See similar questions...

You will need to purchase a good deep cycle battery and you will need a method of charging the battery unless you have a MightyKool which may be operated from a "Jump Start" type battery for several hours before the battery needs charging. regarding using a Swampy or MightyKool for extended periods of time you need to provide both a battery and charger are quite reasonable in cost and very simple to set up.

Portable 12-Volt Cooling Systems are typically designed to help cool one or two people in the area they sleep, eat, work or ride in a vehicle. It doesn't matter how large the room or spacious the vehicle, as the purpose of portable cooling is to blow cool air at you and not use the energy needed to cool a given area.

YES, but it depends what size of room we are talking about. Unlike portable AC's they are not getting rid of the hot air that is in the room already, whereas portable AC's gets rid of heat in the room through exhaust hose and blows cold air into the room as well. Air cooler does not have a compresor so it is not capable enough to blow as much cold air into the room as much as portable AC does. See similar questions...

No they are not the same. Air coolers use water and evaporation to cool much the same way a swamp cooler cools. Only the direct air stream is cooled (10-15 degrees) and generally air coolers cannot cool the ambient air in a room. Portable Air conditioners use a compressor/freon to cool and are much more effective in cooling rooms and at keeping the humidity low. See similar questions...

These two products are radically different in the way they function. Air coolers use water and evaporation to cool, similar to the way a swamp cooler works. Air is drawn in through the back of the machine and sucked through a wick saturated with water. As the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates, consuming some of the heat that was in the air. See similar questions...

This is one of the most common uses of a portable air conditioner! Even in small computer rooms, a 12000 BTU unit should be purchased due to the extra heat produced. Moreover, the portable AC will help keep the air dry which is more suitable for computer applications. See similar questions...

Although these are not industrial machines, this is an excellent use for a portable air conditioner. Even with central air, computer server rooms have more robust cooling needs than other parts of the building tend to require. A portable air conditioner works well to boost the cooling in a server room. See similar questions...
