Cooling a Gym, Yoga or Dance Studio: What an Evaporative Air Cooler Can Do

In gyms, yoga and dance studios, movement produces a lot of heat, and sweating raises the humidity. An evaporative air cooler can help there if you know its limits.

What studios need from cooling

• Fresh air that is exchanged
• Perceptibly cooler air at the training areas
• A solution without conversion and without an exhaust hose

How an evaporative air cooler works here

The evaporative air cooler moves a lot of air and lowers the temperature through evaporation, see How does an evaporative air cooler work? It works best when the humid air can escape. Because people in a studio give off moisture, good air exchange is particularly important here. More on the interplay in Evaporative air coolers and humidity.

Which model suits?

• Y5: 40–60 m², for small yoga or class rooms
• Y15: 100–150 m², for larger studios and dance rooms
• Y20 or Y30: 150–250 m², for large halls

All values come from the data sheets or product pages.

Practical tips

1. Position the unit so that the air stream reaches the training area but does not aim directly at the participants.
2. Open windows or doors so that humid air can escape.
3. Consider the noise level, especially for yoga: How loud is an evaporative air cooler?
4. Maintain the water and cooling pad regularly: Air cooler maintenance & care.
