Chillmax Air Pure Chill 2.0 - New, improved, personal air cooler and humidifier

Product Information

It also contains an element of opinion/perception, which is why there’s no point using numbers above about 60ºC.

The increased humidity of the outlet air does produce localised condensation, so you have to be careful to keep these devices away from electrical sockets where they might drip on them, and there is also the risk of dampness in your home and the problems that it can cause. JML sells the humidification as a positive without relating it to the comfort relationship between temperature and %RH, but note what I said above. If you believed the ads, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re going to get frostbite if you sit too close.

It has a large capacity water reservoir which you simply fill with water, plug into any standard wall socket and enjoy! A typical proper air conditioner for a small or medium-sized room will be about the size of bedside cabinet.

Do the same comparison when the surrounding temperature is 38ºC, and the ‘feels like’ goes from 43ºC to over 50ºC! The secret is Hydro-Chill Technology, which uses an advanced, silver-infused evaporative air-cooling filter and enhanced cool-mist system, to pull in warm, dry air and instantly transform it into cool refreshing air. For more information about the specific processing based on your consent and on how QVC uses cookies and other similar technologies, please see " Cookie Policy ".The large capacity water reservoir, combined with the filter, means that Chillmax Air holds a lot of water, so you can rely on Chillmax Air to run for up to ten hours, that's a whole night's sleep, or an entire working day in a hot stuffy office, breathing in cool, humid air! Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioning units that cost the earth, make a lot of noise and use ozone-destroying chemical coolants to cool the air but leave it dry, the Chillmax Air sprays a fine mist that is then sent through the special filter and so only uses evaporation and water to operate. The Chillmax Air uses the evaporative cooling effect of water, and this is much less than with ether – similar to sweat, in fact. Put the filter in the freezer for a while and fill with ice cubes and water for extra chilling Function lights are quite bright and could disturb sleep so I had to cover them over with a piece of card but even then there was light leakage. Chillmax Air Pure Chill turns water, via a special, silver-infused filter and specially designed diffuser, into a fine mist of cool, refreshing air circulated by a fan with three speed settings.

When I first set it up and turned it on, the first thing I noticed was that the fan is quite powerful, so you get a good flow of air directed at you – but note that that it’s only a 5″ computer fan, so it can’t beat a proper desk fan for air flow. As an example, if the air temperature is 30ºC and 50%RH, it will feel like 31ºC, but if the humidity goes up to 80%RH, then it will feel like 38ºC – even though the thermometer still tells you it’s 30ºC.This efficient air dehumidifier creates an ideal moisture setting for the entire family, ensuring a good environment.

However to save anyone else from trying it, l would say avoid at all cost and don't waste your time. Infused with a silver sponge evaporative filter which pulls in warm, dry air which then transforms into a cool refreshing mist. If it is already hot, the amount of water vapour the air can hold before reaching 100% RH will be substantial. If the air is very dry, then a large evaporative cooler might be able to drop inlet air at 30 ºC down by as much as 10 ºC.None of the conclusions I arrived at were influenced by any other sources – I didn’t look it up first, nor have I had any inclination to do so since I first wrote the article. If you’re evaporating more water to get better cooling on larger devices, you’re also producing a lot more water vapour, so the cooling effectiveness will decrease as the humidity rises unless you vent it somehow. The top-fill water reservoir, combined with the filter, means you can rely on Chillmax Air Pure Chill 2. Let’s work on the assumption that it would be able to get the same 4ºC drop no matter what the ambient temperature was. I fired up my trusty data logger and left it in front of my desk fan for 30 minutes for the control data.
