Transcool E3 12 Volt Portable Air Cooler-(Khaki)

Transcool E3  is a portable dual voltage, 12v or 24 volt evaporative air cooler. Pour 1.8 litres (1/2 gallon) of water in through the slide open lid, plug the 3 metre (10′) power lead into cigarette socket, select fan speed and away you go!

The Transcool will not cool down a ‘room’ to a controlled temperature, this is where a refrigerated unit is required

Transcool is able to blow a cool breeze over the user whilst in front of the unit.

It  is a ‘personal spot cooler’ – delivering a cool breeze on you effectively at a range of up to 2-3 metres distance.

Quite simply – No!

• A refrigerated air conditioning system is hard to beat, but useless without 240v electricity!
• A refrigerated air conditioning system has many complex and expensive components. These systems require many permanently fitted parts such as a compressor, condenser, evaporator and refrigerant gas to cool air. A vehicle or household air conditioner requires immense power to ‘drive’.
• Evaporative cooling performance can differ depending on various conditions such as ambient temperature and humidity, but test results show that Transcool can deliver air temperatures up to 45% cooler (at the vent) than the ambient air temperature just using water at room temperature!
• Temperatures at up to 50% cooler than ambient (at the vent) can be achieved using ice water*.
• Test results taken on a 40 C  (104 F) day with humidity at 12% showed a vent temperature at 21 C (70F) using just water at room temperature!
• Transcool can provide you with  cool air that simply feels like HEAVEN!

Water usage with evaporative cooling varies on fan speed and ambient air temperature.

Under most conditions Transcool’s internal 1.8 litre (1/2 gallon) supply will last all night on ‘low’ speed – adequate for cool air while you’re sleeping!

Transcool can be used without water in areas of high humidity, you can even add ice!

The E3 is also supplied with an external 5 litre tank for extended periods of use. The clear external tank features an ON/OFF tap and connects to the unit via hose.

The Transcool E3 uses an internal float system that automatically maintains the correct water level when using the external tank.

Transcool features a transparent water window to display level.

The Transcool is surprisingly effective in humid areas!

We have used and sold these units around all areas of Australia with humidity levels of over 90% at times with surprising results.

We never claim that Transcool will cool down an area, but the feeling of the cool air blowing on your skin in humid areas is amazing!

Transcool E3 only uses a minimum of 0.7 (Low) and up to a maximum of 1.7 amps (High)

This equals hours of cooling comfort – even without your vehicle running

You will generally find ‘low’ fan speed (0.7amps) more than adequate for sleeping.

For extended periods of cooling, use of a deep cycle battery or battery power pack is recommended as they are designed for powering appliances.

A car ‘starting battery’ is basically designed to provide a short powerful supply to start your vehicle, but not to power appliances for any length of time.

The Transcool E3 features Low Battery Protection to shut the cooler off if battery voltage falls below 11.5V

 

Calculating Battery Running Time-

Depth of discharge, also known as DOD, shouldn’t be any more than 50% in most deep cycle batteries in order to get the best battery life.

Depth of discharge is a very important calculation you should make when choosing the size of a deep cycle battery.

 

Example 1/  12v 100 Amp Hour AGM Deep Cycle battery

100 Ah x 50% =50 Amps usable power

Then divide this by the power draw of your appliance

50Ah divided by 0.7 Amps (Transcool on low speed)= 71.42 hours use

Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries (LiPO4 )

Lithium batteries are far lighter and also have a greater Depth of Discharge (DOD)

Up to 80% of battery capacity can be used and still offer long battery life

Example 2/ 12 Volt 100 Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery

100Ah x 80% = 80 Amp hrs usable power

80 divided by 0.7 amps = 114.28hrs

 

Example 3/ 12 Volt 60 Ah LiPO4 Battery

60 Ah x 80%=48hrs usable power

48 hrs divided by 0.7 Amps= 68 hrs use

As you can see, a smaller LiPo4 battery with greater DOD can provide far more hours supply!

A Lithium Battery also has far more cycle life cycles (ability to be charged and discharged) than a conventional AGM or Calcium Deep Cycle battery

A lithium battery can be used for 2000+ life cycles

The sound level produced by the Transcool E3 Evaporative air cooler is similar to that of a car air conditioner/heater fan. This ranges from 46db (low fan speed) to 59db (maximum fan speed) at 1 metre.

The tone Transcool produces is a relaxing, steady weary drone – perfect to help dilute any annoying outside noises.

The Transcool evaporative air cooler can be used in nearly any environment and vehicle!
