Small Portable Air Conditioning Unit SPT SF-610

People looking for a small portable air conditioning unit that uses very little energy

may be interested in the SPT SF-610 portable evaporative air cooler.

This little cooler uses the principle of cooling by evaporation of water in order to help owners beat the heat of summer. While there are some limitations to such units, they generally do a good job under the correct circumstances.

When purchasing this small portable air conditioning unit, buyers need to understand that this is an evaporative cooling unit and not a true air conditioner.

Whereas the true air conditioner helps to dehumidify the air when cooling, this unit will add humidity to the room. These units offer the best cooling in areas of low humidity, such as in the dessert.

In areas of low humidity, the air that exits the unit can be as much as fifteen degrees less than the surrounding air.

If you are expecting this unit to drop the temperature of your 100 degree home to 70 degrees, you are going to be disappointed. If you are simply looking for some relief from the heat, however you may find the cooling to be sufficient.

In addition to using the cooling provided by evaporating water, this unit also allows for the addition of ice packs and ice cubes to help the unit to cool the room a little more.

This small air conditioning unit uses much less energy than a typical air conditioner. Two small motors are used, one for the pump and another for the blower. There is no compressor, the part that uses most of the energy with an air conditioner.

If needing some additional cooling, the SPT SF-610 portable evaporative air cooler makes an inexpensive choice.

In addition to the inexpensive price of the unit, it operates at a savings that many people may appreciate. While not a true air conditioner, it can cool the air but will increase humidity.
