  • Publication number: 20150059376
    Abstract: Evaporative cooler apparatus includes two pumps, a primary pump which pumps water to an evaporative medium and a secondary pump for pumping water from the bottom of the cooler to drain the water reservoir of the cooler. The secondary, or drain pump includes a programmable timer that is operable by a user to select a run time duration for the pump motor from a plurality of possible run times. The programmable drain pump also includes a user control for selection of an off-state time from a plurality of available off-state times or intervals between run times of the drain pump motor. The programmable drain pump also includes a constant on control and a test control.

  • Publication number: 20150059393
    Abstract: A utility cart comprises a first container configured as an evaporative cooling system having a water reservoir disposed at a bottom end thereof in fluid communication with an evaporative medium. The evaporative cooling system further includes a fan to blow or draw outside air through the wet evaporative medium and out to the surrounding environment as cooled air. The utility cart further includes a second container coupled to the first container, the second container configured as an insulated chest cooler for holding ice and having a drain port for draining out melt water from melting ice disposed in the chest cooler, the drain port being configured to feed melt water into the evaporative cooling system.

  • Patent number: 8950200
    Abstract: An evaporative cooled condenser unit employs a quiet motor/fan system that pulls air across an evaporative media pad, through a drift eliminator and delivers cool air to a condensing unit of an air conditioner thereby increasing the operating efficiency of the air conditioner. A condenser enclosure into which the cool air is delivered is adjustable for various sizes of condenser units and contains a plurality of barometric dampers to provide failsafe operation and provide for external air flow to the condenser during heat pump operation or when the auxiliary cooling module is disabled.
