Introduction

Evaporative air cooler is a kind of modern energy-saving product which is developed through years of research and experiments. It has the following advantages:
Energy-saving: Up to 80% or more while comparing with traditional air-conditioner.
Environment protection: No discharge of hazardous substances and freon free during its
operation.
Efficient: Achieving the maximum cooling and purifying effect with minimum power consumption.
Evaporative air cooler is developed as a new generation of products combining of climatic conditions, which is using a new generation of blades with high speed and large air volume.
Its working principle is a "direct evaporative" humidification and cooling technology. Not only have cooling become functional, but it can also achieve a cooling effect on air humidification. A continuously circulating pump draws water from the water tank, and then distributes the water to the wet curtain. When hot air enters into the wet curtain, which is a cell-type filter layer made of special material, it exchanges energy with water. A satisfactory effect of cooling can then be obtained. Cool, clean air is blown indoors under a precise pressure point rendered by the air blower while the hot air goes out of the room through open vents or windows. This cycle achieves the goal of lowering the temperature in the room.

Set-Up

1. Open the carton and take out the unit.
2. When adding water, open the water inlet on the top cover, pour water into the water tank, then observe the water level indicator with the floating ball inside and pay attention to the following:
Avoid getting water into the motor and its surrounding area to avoid damaging the electrical
components.
Water must be below the ‘H’ level, otherwise it will overflow.
Use fresh, clean water.
3. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds to turn ON/OFF the unit, then you can select the settings for speed, swing and cooling.
• In high humidity season, it is better to choose wind mode as there is humidifying effect
in cool mode. • After adding water, do not let the unit tilt, collide, lie down or move to any position that can spill water. Do not overturn the unit. • Do not cover the air outlet; a clear, open space of at least 1 metre should be provided at the front and back of the unit. • Ensure to always unplug the unit before cleaning or maintaining it. • Clean the outer casing with a clean, damp cloth. Don’t splash it directly with water. • If the unit is spilling water, pull out the power plug immediately. You should only turn the unit ON again only after it thoroughly dries out, otherwise, it may short-circuit and malfunction. • Do not position the air outlet close to walls or window curtains because the air current will be blocked. • If the unit is not in use, pull out the power plug. • Do not let people with poor physical ability, slow responsiveness, mental disorders and/or children use the unit unless said person has a sense of safety/responsibility and someone can assist them in operating the unit.

Operation

Due to the remarkable advantages of evaporative air cooler in cooling, humidification, cleanliness, energy-saving and ventilation, it is used primarily in locations where ventilation and cooling are needed. This product is mainly used in the following places:
Electronics, electroplating, footwear, printing, plastics, clothing, packaging, the food processing industry.
Textiles, machinery, ceramics, chemical industry, metallurgy, glass, metal, leather and other manufacturing industries.
Hospital, clinic, schools, waiting rooms, cafes, shopping malls, supermarkets, laundry rooms.
Offices, home, kitchens, market, large entertainment centres, underground parking lots, stations and other public places.
Greenhouses, flower farms, poultry, livestock, and other types of farms.
Existing chiller for air conditionings and as an auxiliary equipment used in blowers.
Places of high humidity required for indoor use.

Control Panel Operation

After plugging the unit into a 220V-240V/50Hz power outlet, it will be in stand-by mode with a buzzer ringing.

Speed Settings

Connect the unit to the power supply and turn the SPEED knob. The fan will start. You can change the speed with the following choices; 1 (Low), 2 (Medium) and 3 (High). Turn the SPEED to “0” to turn the unit OFF.

Cool Settings

Turn the COOL knob to “ON” to start the cooling process, it will be on Fan Mode only after you have turn it to OFF.

Swing Settings

Vertical Louvers
Turn the SWING knob to ON. The vertical louvers will automatically begin to move from right to left.
Horizontal Louvers
Manually adjust the horizontal louvers to change the airflow from up to down.

Usage Conditions

Ambient temperature: 10 – 45°C.
Environment’s Relative Humidity: ≤ 95%
Atmospheric pressure: 86 – 106kpa
0°C < Water supply temperature < 45°C
Water supply pressure: 0.15 – 0.6mpa
Voltage deviation does not exceed the rated voltage of ± 10%
Environmental air quality should meet ambient air quality standard GB3095-1996.
No corrosive gases should be present.

Maintenance

Turn the power to OFF first before performing any maintenance or repairs on the unit to prevent electrical accidents. To ensure that the cooling effect of the unit is maintained, the unit’s body should be cleaned with water every day or every week. The interior of the unit should also be cleaned regularly. The proper cleaning interval is once a month, but the actual cleaning time will vary depending on the exterior environment.

Cleaning the Interior

1. Pull out the water drain plug and clear away any signs of dirt deposits in the chassis with water.
2. Remove the air inlet shutter together with the evaporating heat exchanger. Wash them thoroughly
with water, then re-install them back.
• While cleaning the unit, use only a low water pressure. When cleaning the wet curtain, do not
use acidic or alkaline based detergents. • It is recommended that the user and equipment supplier agree to a maintenance and repair schedule to carry out regular maintenance on the unit and to ensure that it will always be in good condition.
