  • Page 4: Introduction

    As the heat is removed from an object, the tempera- ture of that object is decreased. In the case of the PORT-A-COOL® unit, heat is removed from the air, reducing the temperature of the air.

  • Page 5: Humidity And Evaporative Cooling

    14 (53.0 liters or 11.7 Imperial Gallons) 121,800 For actual temperature drops refer to Appendix A. In simple terms, evaporative cooling is nature’s way of cooling. The PORT-A-COOL® unit uti- lizes the same phenomenon, but in an extremely efficient manner. B. Humidity and Evaporative Cooling.

  • Page 7: Connecting The Water And Electricity Or Air

    After the PORT-A-COOL® unit has been thoroughly tested at the factory, a special 2-sided brass hose adapter is attached to the water inlet on the side of the PORT-A-COOL® unit, which is below the spray bar adjustment and drain valves. A standard garden hose is attached to this brass hose adapter and cinched down to preclude leaks.

  • Page 8: Operating Procedures

    There are three primary considerations when deciding where to place the PORT-A-COOL® unit. 1) Fresh Air Supply - The inlet side of the PORT-A-COOL® unit (pad side) must be placed so as to insure that a smooth, uninterrupted supply of fresh air is available.

  • Page 9: Filling With Water

    PORT-A-COOL® unit is stable, well constructed, and will not allow the PORT-A-COOL® unit to tip over. The PORT-A-COOL® unit must be level and in the upright position. When sup- porting with a platform allow for the full weight of a functioning PORT-A-COOL® unit by including the weight of the water both in the sump tank and the added weight of the water saturated cooling pads.

  • Page 10: Starting The Fan

    Keeping the PORT-A-COOL® unit clean will do more than any other single item to keep your PORT-A-COOL® unit in peak operating condi- tion. The rugged, corrosion-resistant construction of the PORT-A-COOL® unit and industrial grade components make for the low maintenance characteristics.

  • Page 11: Storage

    2) Roll up the electrical power cord and secure it to ensure that it will not be rolled over, tripped over or caught in equipment. 3) Cover the PORT-A-COOL® unit completely to prevent dust build-up and store in a dry area. This also helps prevent damage to the pads. Optional dust covers are available from your distributor.
  • Page 12 FAN SYSTEM This section is divided into the two categories of fans used on all PORT-A-COOL® models: Direct Drive and Belt Drive. Both have some symptoms in common, and both have problems that are particular to each.
