Choosing Guide
How to Choose the Right Evaporative Air Cooler
When choosing an evaporative air cooler, consider the size of your space, ventilation, intended use, water tank capacity, and airflow needs.
Start with your space and application
For bedrooms, offices, or smaller areas, consider a compact model that is easy to move and designed for personal or residential use.
For workshops, restaurants, warehouses, patios, or semi-open areas, consider a larger evaporative air cooler with greater airflow and water capacity.

How It Works
How Does a Portable Evaporative Air Cooler Work?
An evaporative air cooler draws warm air from the surrounding environment and passes it through water-saturated cooling pads. As the water evaporates, the unit releases a cooler stream of air back into the space.
1
Warm Air Enters
The air cooler draws warm air from the surrounding environment.
2
Air Passes Through Wet Cooling Pads
The warm air passes through cooling pads saturated with water.
3
Cooler Air Is Released
The fan circulates a cooler stream of air into the surrounding space.
Evaporative cooling works best in hot, dry environments with adequate ventilation and consistent airflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Evaporative Air Coolers
What is an evaporative air cooler?
An evaporative air cooler is a cooling device that uses water, airflow, and water-saturated cooling pads to create a cooler stream of air. Evaporative air coolers are also sometimes called swamp coolers or portable evaporative coolers.
How does an evaporative air cooler work?
An evaporative air cooler draws warm air through water-saturated cooling pads. As water evaporates, the unit releases a cooler stream of air into the surrounding space.
Where do evaporative air coolers work best?
Evaporative air coolers generally perform best in hot, dry climates and in spaces with good ventilation. Open and semi-open areas such as patios, workshops, warehouses, garages, and outdoor dining areas can be good applications for evaporative cooling.
Do evaporative air coolers work in enclosed spaces?
Evaporative air coolers perform best in ventilated, open, or semi-open spaces. Performance may decrease in completely enclosed rooms without adequate airflow.
Do evaporative air coolers work in humid climates?
Evaporative cooling is generally most effective in hot, dry conditions. Higher humidity can reduce the amount of water that evaporates and may decrease cooling performance.
What size evaporative air cooler do I need?
The right size depends on the space, ventilation, airflow requirements, and intended application. Compact models may be appropriate for personal or smaller residential areas, while larger 60L, 100L, and 135L models are designed for larger commercial and light industrial applications.
Which Mytek evaporative air cooler is best for home use?
The right model depends on the size of your space and your cooling needs. Compact Mytek models can be considered for smaller residential areas, while larger-capacity models are better suited for spaces requiring greater airflow.
Can I use an evaporative air cooler on a patio?
Evaporative air coolers can be a practical option for patios and other open or semi-open outdoor areas, particularly in hot, dry conditions with good airflow.
Can evaporative air coolers be used in restaurants?
Yes. Portable evaporative air coolers can be used in appropriate restaurant environments such as patios, outdoor dining areas, and other well-ventilated or semi-open spaces.
Do evaporative air coolers use less energy than air conditioners?
Evaporative air coolers typically use less energy than traditional compressor-based air conditioners because they do not rely on a compressor or refrigerant. Actual energy use and performance vary by model, operating conditions, temperature, ventilation, and humidity.
