Go Fan's lithium ion battery will run for almost six hours and can hold a charge for up to six months. Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description. Like a standard, bulky air-con unit, Chillmax Air Go actually takes the air in your room, or outside, and through evaporation, lowers its temperature.

But they send the humidity of that air up considerably, and this cancels out the benefits of the cooling effect when it is very hot. Why not have a spare filter on hand so you always have a clean, working filter in your Chillmax Air and you're never left waiting for the dishwasher on those really hot, dry days and nights? The secret is Hydro-Chill Technology, which uses our advanced evaporative air-cooling filter and our enhanced cool-mist chamber, to pull in warm, dry air and instantly transform it into cool refreshing air! If you believed the ads, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re going to get frostbite if you sit too close.So in a small room, you could easily increase the ‘ambient’ RH without any cooling at all, and that will make it feel even hotter. The unit consists of a reservoir at the top, which you fill with normal tap water, and this drips down on to a radiator unit which has ten sideways-stacked fibre panels in it through which a fan blows air.

Blowing damp air into your PC would be dangerous, potentially expensive, and would only gain you 4ºC at best. Remember that the reason you even found this article was probably because it’s over 30 ºC outside – the more above that it is, then the more hits I get. It humidifies while it cools your personal breathing space so you can stay cool and breathe moist, humid air wherever you need it.

There are two buttons on the top rear, one which changes the fan speed to one of three settings (or off), with a blue LED for each, and another button that turns the night light on or off. But if the air temperature is above about 30ºC (and 50%RH) – which isn’t excessively hot or humid to start with, though it is around the point where you would start thinking about cooling things down – it’ll actually make you feel warmer. With its evaporative cooling technology, Chillmax Air Go actually takes water and passes it through a filter that then, using the natural cooling effect of evaporation, sends out cool, humidified air! Then, just turn the dial to increase fan speed, low and slow, or crank it up for those heat emergencies when you need all the cool air you can get. This means you can set Chillmax Air Go next to your bed, or the kids’ beds, and have them fall asleep in their own comfortable pocket of cool air by the soft, glowing light of an LED nightlight.

Able to spin on two independent axes, it means you can position your Chillmax Go Fan through 360⁰ in any direction and at any angle for the perfect, multi-directional stream of cool air. The air did seem a little cooler compared with what my desk fan was blowing at me, but it also felt ‘softer’ – that’s very important, and I’ll explain later. Grattan plc trading as Kaleidoscope is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (No 311340), in respect of consumer credit activities. And just like when it’s foggy outside, and everywhere gets damp, this water vapour can condense on cooler surfaces.A small number of products may require an additional postage cost due to the size of the parcel or other special considerations. Suppliers of these devices say that they need good ventilation or extraction, and I would imagine that’s so the humid air can escape. The adjustability of the dial on your Chillmax Go Fan means you can have total control of the amount of cool air you create and how much energy you spend.

Also technical support advice that they do not hold the filters for this model if you require a replacement, so if filter requires changing in 6 months as stated, you will not be able to purchase a replacement. With a sealed water tank that you top up, and a rechargeable battery, you can take Chillmax Air Go out with you for your own personal air-con unit wherever you go! Chillmax Air uses no chemicals or toxic coolants, just ordinary water, and lasts up to 10 hours on just one filling! In winter, the condensation point is reached very easily, which is why you get your windows all steamed up and everywhere is often damp, but in hotter weather it is more appropriate to think ‘sauna’ (which is why it gets ‘muggy’).These are the data for relative humidity recorded at the same time as the temperature measurement, above (the red line is where I moved the logger). If it is already hot, the amount of water vapour the air can hold before reaching 100% RH will be substantial. The jack plug that goes into the Chillmax is quite stubby and doesn’t go into the socket very far, so it is easy to dislodge it. In practical terms, that means a fairly bulky device with a motor-driven compressor, a closed radiator for the refrigerant to pass through, a fan to suck air in and blow it across the radiator, and a wide exhaust pipe through the wall or window to get rid of the ‘removed heat’, and – in some cases – a drain for the condensed water which results from cooling the air.
