    Hello,

    I live in a detached house, in the attic room. The room is not very large because it is 4.5 x 4.5 m, but only 2 m high. So on hot days it can be very warm here, if I add a non-stop computer that heats the atmosphere terribly, the situation gets nicely speaking, not very pleasant.

    Until now, I have managed the heat with the HB AC4520s circulator, which I highly recommend and works very well although the best effect is as the temperature outside will drop significantly.

    Recently I came across the topic of evapropic air conditioners, and here there is misinformation because on foreign portals people boast that at a low energy cost you can reduce the temperature in the room by several degrees and generally everyone recommends. By calling the stores that offer them, I learn that the effect is only when you pour very cold water just before each use. What would indicate the need to buy a freezer to cool those 60L water somewhere - where is sense and logic? (I'm interested in the largest and most powerful model of the device)

    As I understand it, the water applied to the evaporation plates is evaporated through the air stream generated by the fan, thanks to which the air at the outlet becomes cooler and logically thinking, the effect should be visible as foreign portals give, even without continuous water exchange. And the device itself, according to the description, can be used to cool large areas such as halls or warehouses.

    Do any of you have such a device and can share your opinion on how it really is?

    Cooling occurs due to the evaporation of water, so its temperature does not matter.
    A side effect of such an air conditioner is the increase in humidity.

    Do you know what results you can count on?
    What water should be used? I am asking because of the quite large amount of stone in this "tap"

    The temperature difference you get in this device depends on the humidity. It doesn't cool much in high humidity. Look for an assman psychrometric chart. There you will see how you can get the temperature difference depending on the humidity and the given temperature. On this basis, humidity is measured. And why assman? Because it is a hygrometer with forced air flow and you will have one for those prostheses that are supposed to cool. It is a pity money because it will work well in winter as the air is dry.

    Normal, true split climate increases comfort in two ways: lowers temperature and humidity. At some temperatures, just reduce the humidity to bring relief. Sweating does the rest.

    Devices that pretend to be air conditioners work by evaporating water. They lower the temperature, but increase the humidity very much. Sometimes it gives the impression of cooling. In the event of heat, e.g. before a storm, where humidity is already high, this device will not do anything. In the same situation turning on the air conditioner for dehumidification, where the air will be cooled only slightly, but the moisture will be taken away will give a very clear improvement in comfort.

    My advice is give it a rest
    Working methods that I recommend:
    Opening windows at night and airing. Closing and covering with reflective blinds or external blinds during the day.
    Big, powerful fan and drinking plenty of water.
    Split air conditioner.

    I'm going back to the subject, home office, attic work and impending heat basically force me to buy an air conditioner. Can anyone recommend something? Another thing is how much the air conditioners heat up? because with the heat dissipation outside can be a small problem (or rather large).

    I am interested in a powerful portable air conditioner, it will cool the attic room, to put it mildly, it is quite warm here today.

    As for the goodies, they don't matter to me, I'm really only interested in the cooling function.

    You will not dissipate heat and / or moisture outside = you will not increase comfort.
    Regarding the cooling function, what way do you propose to remove heat?

    I advise against portable, not very effective, somehow you need to dissipate heat, the compressor in the room generates additional noise.
    As colleague Jan_Werbinski wrote earlier, the best way to improve comfort is a traditional split air conditioner, one with an outdoor unit.
    Sinclair air conditioners have quite good value for money (this company once produced ZX Spectrum computers :) )
    Market ones also work quite well.
    An additional advantage of such an air conditioner is that you can quickly warm it up in cold weather.
    The disadvantage is the need to use a specialized company that will install it.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the effectiveness of the Honeywell 50L evaporative air conditioner (CO60PM) for cooling a small attic room, particularly in high-temperature conditions exacerbated by heat from electronic devices. Participants highlight that evaporative air conditioners cool by evaporating water, which can increase humidity levels, potentially reducing comfort in already humid conditions. Recommendations include considering traditional split air conditioners for better temperature and humidity control, as well as strategies like nighttime ventilation and reflective blinds. Concerns about the heat generated by portable units and the need for proper heat dissipation are also raised, with suggestions to explore brands like Sinclair for split systems.
