Ways to increase the coolness of the cooler in summer

Chandigarh, 17 May. As soon as the month of May arrives, the temperature in many areas of North India starts reaching beyond 45 degrees Celsius, due to which even ordinary coolers find it difficult to function. At this time, a shortcut to convert cooler into AC is becoming increasingly viral on the internet. In this trick it is being said that mixing some salt with ice cubes in the water tank of the cooler increases the coolness. From a scientific point of view, salt reduces the melting temperature of ice, allowing water to remain cold for a longer period of time. When this water reaches the honeycombs or grass pads through the pump, the air temperature drops.

Remove dirt from water with alum

Along with this cooler solution, people are also using alum. It is often seen that when water gets accumulated in the cooler tank, a strange smell starts coming from it and the infestation of mosquitoes increases. Experts say that by adding a little alum in water, the bacteria die, due to which the dirt settles down and the problem of bad smell gets eliminated. However, this is only a temporary solution and does not remain effective for long.

keep the cooler near the window

Many people keep the cooler in the corner of a closed room, which is a big mistake. According to experts, the cooler should always be kept in a place from where it can draw fresh and dry air. If there is no cross ventilation in the room, moisture in the air increases, causing a feeling of heat. Therefore, the cooler should be kept near the window or in an open place.

Cooler efficiency reduces in humidity

Although this solution of salt and ice may work for some time, it cannot keep the room continuously cool like an air conditioner. When humidity increases during monsoon, all cooler technologies fail. In such a situation, air conditioner is the only option, because it absorbs moisture from the air.

Take care of cleanliness and pads

Regular cleaning and replacement of pads is necessary for better efficiency of the cooler. The water in the cooler should be changed daily so that it remains fresh. Additionally, honeycomb pads should be thoroughly cleaned at the beginning of the season or replaced as needed. This increases the lifespan of the cooler motor and pump and also improves air flow.
