Why Your Air Cooler Stops Working Properly the Moment Monsoon Arrives

Your Big Air Cooler stops working or feels less effective as soon as the monsoon arrives because they rely on the process of evaporation to cool the air, and during the monsoons the environment becomes extremely humid, which significantly slows down this evaporation process. 

But the air cooler is not necessarily the problem; the actual problem lies in how you are using it. Proper ventilation, regular maintenance, and choosing an air cooler with specs like a heavy-duty motor and strong air throw can significantly improve comfort in humid weather.

In this blog, let’s dive more into this topic and explore different facets around it.

Why Does Your Air Cooler Suddenly Feel Less Effective During Monsoon?

If your Big Air Cooler seemed perfect in May, but disappointing once the rains arrived, trust me, you are not alone. This happens because air coolers cool through evaporation.

Here is how things work around in your big air cooler:

1. Motor pumps water up from the tank to the cooling pads

2. Water flows through the cooling pads 

3. Warm external air passes through the pads

4. The water evaporates due to the heat

5. The cooled-down air is finally pushed into the room 

During summer, this process happens quickly because the air is dry and there is enough heat. But, during the monsoon, the air already contains large amounts of moisture. That means water evaporates slowly from the cooling pads, the air does not cool down much, and the air feels cooler than outside but not dramatically cold. This is normal for every Desert Air Cooler and Big Air Cooler.

Does This Mean Your Cooler Has Stopped Working?

No. In fact, it is working exactly as it is designed to work. The weather and improper use without actually understanding the problem is reducing the cooling effect. Many people mistakenly assume they need to repair or replace their Big Air Cooler. But before spending money, check for these issues: 

• Keeping The Water Pump On: In humid weather, it is best to run your air cooler without switching on the water pump. Because without proper evaporation, water adds more moisture to the already humid air. So, we strongly recommend using the dry mode of your air cooler in the monsoons.

• Poor Ventilation: Air Coolers need ventilation. Always ensure that there is proper ventilation in the room and air can pass freely. This factor becomes much more important in humid weather, because you want the humid air to exit to make space for the cold breeze.

• Dirty Cooling Pads: If you are running your cooler with the water pump on, remember that the cooling pads get dirty often in the monsoon season. Dirty cooling pad weakens water absorption, reduces airflow, and degrades cooling performance. Cleaning the pads regularly can make a big difference.

• Incorrect Placement: Keep your air cooler near a window close to the external environment and away from walls that block airflow. Proper positioning improves air circulation throughout the room.

Fixing these issues will likely restore and improve performance significantly, but if you still don’t feel any difference, you might need to upgrade to Thermocool’s powerful air coolers. 

What Makes Thermocool Air Coolers Better for Monsoon Conditions?

The premium features of Thermocool air coolers like Avatar+, Veron, Turbo & Mahacool prove to be even more valuable during humid weather. Some of these specs are:

• Honeycomb Cooling Pads: Honeycomb cooling pads are much more resistant to dust and other kinds of buildup than traditional wood wool pads, which means improved airflow, more consistent cooling, easier maintenance, and longer service life from your air cooler.

• Heavy-Duty Motor: Humidity should not affect the airflow performance of your air cooler. A heavy-duty motor delivers strong and consistent air circulation throughout the room, even during extended operation in the monsoons.

• Inverter Compatibility: Rains and power cuts? A match that no one can escape from. Enjoy uninterrupted airflow even during electricity outages, thanks to Thermocool air coolers’ inverter compatibility. 

• Durable Construction: Monsoon conditions expose air coolers to moisture and constant harsh conditions. Thermocool air coolers’ strong, durable build helps protect them from wear & tear. 

• 12-Month Warranty: Be confident with your purchase because a 12-month warranty safeguards you from any damage incurred during the monsoons.
