Spotlight on the APEX Series: Choosing the right model for your needs

Is your warehouse or construction site a heat trap? Hot working conditions can harm your employees and your business. To effectively lower temperatures and safeguard your people, consider a powerful solution like industrial evaporative coolers for warehouses and job sites. These portable cooling solutions for large spaces work both indoors and outdoors and can lower temperatures by up to 30°F.  

In this guide, we’ll help you find the best evaporative cooler for warehouses, factories, and construction sites, so you can select the right APEX model for your cooling needs. 

Picking the right cooler for your job site 

An industrial evaporative cooler, also known as a portable cooler or a swamp cooler, can be one of the most effective ways to create a safe, productive workspace in high-heat environments. Yet there are many different models and features to consider before making an investment.

When choosing an evap cooler for your workplace, consider:

• What climate is your warehouse or job site in? A portable evap cooler might be the best choice for you if your space gets hot, regardless of whether the climate is dry or humid. 

• How much space do you need to cool? What’s the square footage? The Portacool APEX™ Series can cool small and large spaces, from 500 – 6,500 square feet (sq. ft.). You can pair multiple units across a larger area and manage them with a smartphone using CoolSync™ Technology. 

• Does this area have access to power? Portacools run on electricity and can be plugged into a standard three-prong 115-volt electrical outlet. Since they use seven times less energy than air conditioning, they are ideal for energy-efficient cooling solutions for factories and can even be powered by a generator. 

• Does this area have access to water? Since Portacools use energy-efficient evaporative cooling to lower air temperatures, they need water to work. Our APEX Series have built-in water reservoirs that you can fill as needed. You can also connect the Portacool directly to a water line with the included 3/4” hose connection.  

• Do you already have a cooling system like industrial fans? Evaporative coolers can complement your existing cooling system—or replace it. They work just as well outside as well as inside and can provide additional cooling to any existing industrial fan systems.
