The latest addition to the Cool Boss family of portable evaporative coolers, the CB-26 is built to rapidly and economically cool areas up to 3,055 square feet. Leveraging the natural process of evaporation, it can drop air temperatures by 26 degrees for less than a dollar a day, making it an eco-friendly alternative to air conditioning, the company said.
“Like the other evaporative coolers in our COOLBREEZE Series, the CB-26 lets you direct chilled air exactly where it’s needed at any time thanks to its oscillating swing louvers,” says Lee Franklin, product manager. “Use it at work or at home, indoors or out. All it needs are water and a standard power outlet.”
The CB-26 has a compact design and easy-roll locking swivel casters so it’s easy to move as needed. Users plug the powerful air chiller into a 110-volt outlet and fill the 50-gallon reservoir with water. From there, warm air is pulled into the back of the CB-26 and directed through a water soaked Honeycool evaporative media pad that chills it instantly, according to Cool Boss.
The now-colder air is blasted out by a proprietary 26-inch Blue Flex axial flow fan. Its blades pump out 6,027 CFM and pull a high volume of air at low RPM. The unique Blue Flex fan will alter its shape slightly at higher RPM. Although it’s hardly noticeable, it delivers reduced engine drag for increased energy efficiency and lower energy cost, Cool Boss said.
The CB-26 measures 43 x 27 x 66 inches. Cool Boss added other features include automatic water source shutoff; remote control with convenient holder; user-friendly controls; durable ABS plastic shell construction; antibacterial housing, and extra-long 15 ft. power cord for maximum versatility.
