Atrecord Supersonic October 28, 2022 Author Share October 28, 2022 5 minutes ago, Estrangable said: Evaporative cooling does not work in this region. Period. The only reason why these machines feel cooling is because you are in an air-conditioned shop or mall. From wiki - "Most evaporative coolers are unable to lower the air temperature as much as refrigerated air conditioning can. An evaporative air cooler in a closed room, without any connection or opening to the outside, cannot lower the room temperature at all by the physical law of conservation of energy. It might even add to the room temperature by its electrical components. " If you want to waste your money on these.... why not donate to charity. yalor, read similar too... was wondering whether balcony, being open space, will at least got chance... guess not really then... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balcony here is not suited for anything except to dry laundry. ok lah, the blinds got some use, so the $$ is not totally wasted. When heavy rain, at least now can keep dry, so the balcony still can put things lah... don't make me feel bad leh 🤣 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy rain with wind direction blowing in, without blind balcony will be completely wet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estrangable 5th Gear October 28, 2022 Share October 28, 2022 i used to sell these useless machines in best denki after my A levels while waiting for enlistment... haha, the profit margin and commission is damn high.

Victor68 Turbocharged October 28, 2022 Share October 28, 2022 If you can still remember those mist fans installed by F&B outlets here. Blowing all the dust sprayed down by the mist onto you and your food. 😆. Yes our RH is already so high the additional vapor will simply have no chance to evaporate Liao. Use it at home, watch out for your camera, optical and electronic stuff. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ct3833 Supersonic October 28, 2022 Share October 28, 2022 4 hours ago, Atrecord said: Searched through and found couple of very old threads on this, but am thinking whether with new products (new tech?) would have changed anything. Saw these evaporative air coolers that's not an aircon, but uses water and blow out air, that claims to reduce surrounding temperature by like a few degrees... Has anyone used this before or has any knowledge/information of whether this will really work? Am considering getting one to put in balcony so that on the days when i WFH, can sit in balcony to work. As it is, on a hot day (>31 deg) even with fan at full blast, it's still quite unbearable. am wondering: - really will reduce temp by at least 1-2 deg? - will it be very noisy - does it consume lots of electricity (c.f. fan and aircon) Anyone knows? Thanks... Next time when I have money to buy condo, i will go sit at the poolside , more relax, cooling and stylish when i make conf call.😅 ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
