Multiple Fan Speeds

With a powerful fan and high airflow rates, the Port-A-Cool 16-Inch Heavy Duty Evaporative Cooler effectively lowers temperature by up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. This portable air cooler features three fan speeds: low, medium, and high.

Each speed setting provides high-performance air conditioning with minimal sound. In the highest setting, the Port-A-Cool 16-Inch Heavy Duty Cooler pulls in 3,900 cubic feet of air per minute at 29.1 decibels. The medium fan speed processes 3, 280 cubic feet of air every minute at 24.8 decibels and the lowest setting processes 2,500 cubic feet of air at 19.4 decibels.

Manual or Continual Refill

The Port A Cool 16-Inch Heavy Duty Evaporative Cooler offers two ways to replenish the water tank: manual or continual. To refill the water tank manually, simply open the filler cap on the front of the swamp cooler and pour water into unit. The water level sight tube helps you monitor the amount of water in the tank to avoid overfilling it.

You can also connect a water hose to the hose connection for continual water supply. First, secure the evaporative cooler on a level surface. Then attach a water hose to the adapter on the front of the unit. Once you have secured the hose connection, turn on the water supply to begin filling. The water tank holds up to 3 gallons of water for longer operation.

Maximum Air Delivery

While refrigerant air conditioners use harmful chemicals during the cooling process, the Port-A-Cool PAC2K163SHD 16-Inch Heavy Duty Portable Evaporative Cooler uses only water and electricity. Every minute up to 3,900 cubic feet of hot air is drawn into the evaporative cooler and passes through an evaporative cooling pad. When the moving air is brought into contact with the water-saturated pad, evaporation occurs as the heat from the hot air causes the water molecules to transform into a gas. The evaporative cooling pad absorbs the heat out of the air and the powerful fan disperses cool air throughout your space.

Traditional air conditioners often recirculate the same stale air, creating a stuffy, uncomfortable environment. The Port-A-Cool 16-Inch Heavy Duty Evaporative Cooler drives out warm air and delivers a constant supply of fresh air. When the swamp cooler is positioned properly, the fan exhausts the hot, dry air through the back of the unit. Place the evaporative cooler away from walls, windows, or any obstruction to provide ample space for air movement.
