1. INTRODUCTION TO EVAPORATIVE COOLING
The main target of evporative air conditioners is to increase the comfort level of
any space in a natural and efficient way. In order to get the most out of this type
of equipment, you should read this introduction to evaporative cooling.
1.1 THERMAL COMFORT ZONE
Our level of comfort is directly related to the ambient temperature and humidi-
ty. In general, we can say that people perceive a sensation of thermal comfort
when the environmental conditions are within what we call "thermal comfort
zone". This zone corresponds to the temperature range between 18º and 30ºC
and a relative humidity of between 30 and 70% approximately.

Relative Humidity (%)
In addition to influencing comfort, humidity and temperature are even capable
of influencing factors such as our productivity and our level of attention, so
thermal comfort is an element to be taken into account not only in our homes,
but in our workspace.
1.2 VENTILATE AND REFRESH. WHY?
In the hottest months of the year, what usually happens is that we need to lower
the air temperature to reach our thermal comfort zone and to achieve this, a
very efficient solution is the use of an EVAPORATIVE AIR CONDITIONER, which
performs two fundamental tasks: ventilate and refresh.
