Abstract
An improved evaporative cooler containing a new and unique designed funnel induction system, which creates a greater vacuum of air drawn directly through each pad frame equally, and into the split squirrel cage, thereby increasing the vacuum and cooling efficiency by completely bypassing any heat generated or trapped inside the evaporative coolers dead space. The wettable air permeable pads have been redesigned and incorporated in a sandwich-type installation, being constructed of an absorbent spong-like plastic fiber, backed by a layer of coarse mesh-like type plastic fiber filter, thus providing a cleaner hygienic air supply,--at the same time reducing the amount of water needed in prior art evaporative coolers. In addition, an improved independent recycling water containment system, replaceable, and by design retains water and traps moisture away from the sump pan, motor and other components inside the improved evaporative cooler cabinet, therein greatly reducing rust and corrosion, and providing longer life to the operation of the improved evaporative cooler. Also, an improved swing-away motor mount bracket. Female electrical receptacles are provided for quick connection or disconnection of the electrical motor and water pump. A ventilated back access panel provides ease and accessibility during times of maintenance, repair or replacement of the improved evaporative cooler's components.
