PORT-A-COOL

www.port-a-cool.com
The company said it has made numerous improvements to its units, including the 48-inch model. According to the company, the venture has been redesigned, allowing more air delivery. Formerly delivering 17,000 cfm, the unit now delivers 20,000 cfm, said the company, adding that this increases the cooling area from approximately 3,500 square feet to 4,000 square feet. The units work by pulling hot, ambient air through water-soaked evaporative cooling media located in the back of the unit. The evaporative process takes place within the cooling media, creating cool air that is dispersed by a fan located in the front of the unit, it said. The company said a unit has shown, through testing, that it can lower air temperatures 18°-26°. The one-piece rotomolded housing for the unit is both rust and leak proof. The product is backed by a 12-month limited warranty.
