How can
I have cool air with a cooler?
Air will come out of the air outlets much cooler than when
it enters thanks to the evaporation phenomenon.
Why should
I choose an evaporative cooler?
Mobilcool is portable and can be used without the need to
have the engine running.
What is
the best way to cool an area
using Mobilcool?
Doors, windows must be open and the cooler must run in high
speed to force the warm air out of the area. When the inside
and outside temperatures are similar, you must shut doors
and windows. Read points 5 and 6 to know what should be left
open.
Is there
a priming time for a cooler?
Yes, run the cooler for an hour in low and medium speed and
then empty the remaining water. Fill with fresh water and
repeat two or three times. Rinse the pads.
How many
openings do I need for
appropriate cooling?
The cooler must be located close to an open window or door
in order to let the hot air out. Leave another window open
to let the air out, otherwise a humid atmosphere will be created.
You must not re-circulate air cooled by evaporation.
WARNING : Use a 2.5 mm² cable that goes to your cigarette
lighter and a 20 Amp fuse in order to avoid overheating of
the electric circuit.
Can I use
the cooler in a van, a truck or a tractor?
You must not re-circulate air cooled by an evaporative cooler,
you must get rid of humidified air by creating an airstream
(open the passenger window a little and the driver window
completely when at rest or in traffic jams but only have windows
open a little when motoring at high speed).
What should
be done if water comes out of
the air outlets?
Do not overfill with water. Only fill between half to ¾
for the first few operations. With a new pad, there can sometimes
be a small quantity of water from the outlets for 3 or 4 hours
in high speed mode. Operate the cooler in low or medium speed
and it will settle. Do not let water exit from the outlets
continuously as this will void the warranty. (see point 5).
My cooler
does not provide cool air at the rear
of my van/camper, etc.
Use the dashboard fan as usual, keeping the windows closed.
Place the cooler at the front of the dash air outlets so that
it blows towards the rear of the vehicle.
How long
can my cooler operate with water and can ice be used?
5.7 litres gives about 7 hours during the night and 3 hours
during the day. Use clean domestic water. An addition of vinegar
helps if water is hard. Ice must not be used in the Mobilcool
because it could damage the blower fan. It is recommended
to add a small quantity of mild disinfecting additive such
as Milton’s fluid or Aquatabs when filling the Mobilcool
after every 200 hours of operation, this will avoid unpleasant
smells.
How will
I know if the cigarette lighter socket
has the right cable?
Use the cooler in low or medium speed before checking the
size of the cable. Use a 2.5 mm² cable and a 20 Amp fuse
for high speed. If the cable is not the required size, the
cigarette lighter can become so hot in high speed that you
could melt some of the connecting parts. You do not often
need high speed as there should be sufficient cool air on
low and medium in most instances.

Technical Information click here (pdf format)
- Mobilcool has 3 speeds and a weight
of 4.5 kg.
- The current draw on a 12 Volt model
is 4.9 Amp in low speed, 7.9 Amp in medium speed and 13.1
Amp in high speed.
How long can I use the battery
without charging it?
You should use a deep cycle battery
( 105 Amp / hour or more) which can be effective for between
10 to 17 hours (in low and medium speed).
What happens
if the cooler is knocked over?
Water should simply spill from the inlet grill.
Will the
evaporative cooler work in areas where the humidity is high?
On a hot dry day (40.5 °C) with humidity at 15% the cooler’s
output temperature would be 23.3 °C but with humidity
at 35% the cooler’s output temperature would be 28.9
°C. The lower the humidity, the more effective the Mobilcool
becomes.
When should
I replace the evaporation pads?
At least once a year. The pads can be washed with soap and
water. They are also available at hardware and other stores
that carry evaporative cooler parts. The pads come in large
sheets, are inexpensive and can be easily cut to fit.
Can I plug
a 12 Volt cooler into a converter
or AC power?
Mobilcool is a 12 Volt device that can be operated through
a converter. You may also operate Mobilcool directly off a
10 Amp battery charger or converter if you want to use it
in a shop, tent or spare bedroom at home. NEVER connect Mobilcool
to an AC power supply.
