On hot days, customers leave an overheated shop more quickly, and the team also works with less concentration. Air conditioning is not always possible, for example in rented premises or where doors are opened frequently. An evaporative air cooler can be a practical solution here.
Why evaporative air coolers can work on a sales floor
Shops usually have a lot of air exchange, for example through entrance doors and customer traffic. This helps evaporative cooling, because the additional moisture is dispersed. Basics in the article How does an evaporative air cooler work?
What to look out for
- Floor area: according to the data sheet, the Y5 is designed for 40 to 60 m², the Y20 and Y30 for 150 to 250 m².
- Placement: do not blow directly onto goods or checkout counters, but so that the air flows through the room.
- Ventilation: open doors or windows so that humid air can escape.
- Sensitive goods: paper, textiles or electronics should not be exposed to humid air permanently.
- Power connection: 0.2 kW for the Y5, 1.1 kW for the Y20 and Y30.
Keeping an eye on costs
For the Y30, the data sheet states roughly 1.65 euros in electricity costs for ten operating hours at full load. You will find further calculation examples in the electricity cost comparison and in the payback calculation.
Frequently asked questions
Will the evaporative air cooler disturb sales conversations?
The noise level depends on the model. For the Y15, the product page states 65 dB. Do not place the unit directly next to consultation areas.
Is one unit enough for the whole shop?
That depends on floor area and room shape. We are happy to advise you on placement.
