It is a brand-new environmentally friendly product without compressor, refrigerant or copper tube. Its main components are evaporative wet curtain (multi-layer corrugated fiber laminate) and 1.1KW main motor. It consumes 1 / 8 of the power of traditional central air conditioners and can save more electricity for various industries.

[0003] Air coolers are divided into industrial air coolers and household air coolers. Industrial air coolers are generally used in cold storage and cold chain logistics refrigeration environments. Household air coolers, also known as water-cooled air conditioners, are an evaporative cooling and ventilation unit that integrates cooling, ventilation, dust prevention and deodorization.

[0004] The longer the freezer is used, the more likely it is to have cleaning problems. When the freezer is in use, it will inhale dust, bacteria and other impurities in the air. These impurities will accumulate inside the air conditioner, causing an increase in dirt inside the air conditioner, thereby affecting the use of the air conditioner. Therefore, the freezer needs to be cleaned regularly.

[0005] Currently, the air outlet of the air cooler is mostly cleaned externally using a cleaning brush, which leaves a certain amount of dirt inside, resulting in incomplete cleaning and a lot of dust inside, thereby affecting the cooling effect. Utility Model Content
