Why cooler thermostat

Summer is officially in full swing. That means the days are long, hot, and full of glorious New Mexico sunshine. Sure, there are plenty of ways to cool off — a dip in the pool, a popsicle. But, nothing beats the cool, refreshing relief of an evaporative cooling system in your home. Standard climate control for an evaporative cooling system is a knob that can be switched to high, low, and fan-only.

With this setup, you have to monitor the temperature. For example, if it gets too hot, you have to turn on the pump, wait for it to wet the pads and then turn the fan on. When it gets too cool, you have to turn it down or off. A digital thermostat lets you to set the temperature where you want it. Then the swamp cooler automatically runs until it reaches the desired temperature.

You have to choose whether you want the fan setting on high or low, but will automatically run the fan until it reaches that temperature. Having a thermostat for your swamp cooler takes the guesswork out of the temperature. It maintains your preferred temperature for you.

With a traditional controller, you need to turn the pump on and let it soak the swamp cooler pads before turning on the fan. Skipping this step means hot air blowing into the house for the first few minutes after turning on the cooler. The thermostat fixes this for you. The thermostat isolates the engine from the radiator until it has reached a certain minimum temperature.

Without a thermostat, the engine would always lose heat to the radiator and take longer to warm up. Once the engine has reached the desired operating temperature, the thermostat adjusts flow to the radiator to maintain a stable temperature.

Sometimes, the coolant is so hot that the thermostat opens all the way, making the engine completely dependent on the radiator to keep its temperature stable. As long as there is enough air flow through the radiator, the engine will stay cool. If for some reason the air flow rate is too low, the radiator won't do its job and the engine may overheat.

Fans: Using a fan is an easy way to make a space feel cooler for much less. As the air moves, it facilitates evaporation, which has a cooling effect. Check out our industrial fans for rent. Swamp Coolers: These cost-effective units use no refrigeration to operate. Instead, they saturate a pad with water, pull the cool air off the top of the pad as it evaporates, and circulate that air through the space. Check out our swamp coolers for rent.
