A Spot Cooler for Summer



Summer is coming. Even with all the rainy days, the growing heat can be felt. Temperatures are rising, AC units are working harder, and people are growing more anxious to be indoors and stay cool. This is just one of the many reasons to have a portable spot cooler. Spot coolers are temporary units that cool surrounding areas quickly and effectively. Whether you need a little extra boost air conditioning, or your primary air conditioner has failed, a spot cooler comes in handy for a variety of locations and reasons.

Business

As temperatures rise, some industries and businesses require additional AC to keep people and the environment safe. Warehouses are notorious for being oppressively hot. Is some cases, this is normal. However, this can become a risk for employees. As workers grow hotter and more uncomfortable, it becomes harder to function well; work may slow, workers may make mistakes, and it becomes a health risk.

The same can be said for industrial facilities and construction areas. Heat and humidity is more than unpleasant, it’s a risk to productivity and health. It may also be problematic for some machinery.

The equipment in large data centers, or offices which contain a significant amount of computers, also require continuous cooling. This sort of equipment produces heat as it functions, and a room full of these parts can heat noticeably, and quickly. In generally higher temperatures, additional spot cooling can be essential to maintain the equipment and prevent overheating, and thus repairs. Offices usually have a central AC system, but a spot cooler provides air when the main system fails or is shut off after hours.

Schools and Emergencies

Schools also have their own central air conditioning units. Yet, summer months bring additional heat, and in some locations the heat lasts into the fall. Spot coolers are great for keeping students sufficiently cool in classrooms, whether by supplementing the main AC system, or replacing it during a system failure. Additionally, some temporary classrooms and buildings are not adequately equipped with air conditioning units. Portable spot coolers are perfect for those sorts of locations.

Centers for medical care, whether a hospital or temporary emergency center, also must keep patients and employees safe and comfortable in stressful conditions. Heat aids the growth of bacteria and makes for a breeding ground for illness. Hospitals have AC systems, but if those systems fail or the need extra cooling, spot coolers are very useful. Additionally, these machines are excellent for temporary emergency medical locations, such as those in hot, humid areas.
