Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioning units that cost the earth, make a lot of noise and use ozone-destroying chemical coolants to cool the air but leave it dry, the Chillmax Air sprays a fine mist that is then sent through the special filter and so only uses evaporation and water to operate. gives you the best features of both fans and air conditioning in one, compact unit that’s also a night light.

The FLA Lending Code can be found here or alternatively you can contact us directly and we can provide you with a copy of the Lending Code. The water evaporates from the fibre panels, and the evaporatively cooled air comes out through the front grille. If you’re evaporating more water to get better cooling on larger devices, you’re also producing a lot more water vapour, so the cooling effectiveness will decrease as the humidity rises unless you vent it somehow. It also contains an element of opinion/perception, which is why there’s no point using numbers above about 60ºC. Say goodbye to scorching hot days and experience a refreshing oasis of Cool, Humidify, and Quiet bliss in your own space.For more information about the specific processing based on your consent and on how QVC uses cookies and other similar technologies, please see " Cookie Policy ". Do the same comparison when the surrounding temperature is 38ºC, and the ‘feels like’ goes from 43ºC to over 50ºC! ADJUSTABLE THREE-SPEED WHISPER-QUIET FANChillmax Air uses a super-quiet fan set within its sound-protective casing so the noise you hear is minimal, and with three settings you can have the perfect amount of cool, moist air with the least amount of noise. In the case of the InstaChill, it will add a lot more humidity than the ChillMax, and as I have explained and demonstrated, the ChillMax is bad enough when it comes to increasing the ‘feels like’ temperature.

Conversely, if the surrounding air is very humid, then no matter how powerful your fan is, you will feel little or no cooling because sweat can only evaporate if the air has capacity to hold additional moisture (I’ll explain that a bit more later, because it’s what determines whether the Chillmax is any good). Robert Dyas Holdings Limited T/A Robert Dyas is an appointed representative of Product Partnerships Limited which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 626349). 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.This personal air cooler and humidifier is perfect for those hot and muggy days, providing you with a fine mist of cool, moist air to help you stay comfortable and relaxed. The devices also contain a significant volume of water when full, so you don’t want to knock them over. 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. The ambient temperature where I ran the test was about 29ºC (this was just before the 2019 heatwave kicked in properly). JML sells the humidification as a positive without relating it to the comfort relationship between temperature and %RH, but note what I said above.

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). Blowing damp air into your PC would be dangerous, potentially expensive, and would only gain you 4ºC at best. But once they defrost, which will happen in a few minutes in the temperatures you’ll likely be experiencing, then no. You’re probably aware that you can have a hot summer day in the high 20s where it is pleasant and comfortable, but a cooler and overcast day might be horribly sticky – or muggy.

Chillmax Air Pure Chill gives you the best features of both a fan and an air conditioning unit in one compact unit.

This is the amount of moisture in the air expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount it could hold at that temperature, hence the units %RH. Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioning units that cost the earth, Chillmax Air Pure Chill sprays a fine mist that is then sent through the special filter and so only uses evaporation and water to operate! has a built-in soft-glow LED light with seven warm, relaxing colours to choose from to suit your mood: Blue, Red, White, Teal, Purple, Yellow, Green. The top-fill water reservoir, combined with the filter, means you can rely on Chillmax Air Pure Chill to run for a whole night’s sleep, or an entire working day in a hot stuffy office, breathing in cool, humid air! The secret is Hydro-Chill Technology, which uses an advanced evaporative air-cooling filter and an enhanced cool-mist chamber, to pull in warm, dry air and instantly transform it into cool refreshing air.The Chillmax Air uses the evaporative cooling effect of water, and this is much less than with ether – similar to sweat, in fact. 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. None of the conclusions I arrived at were influenced by any other sources – I didn’t look it up first, nor have I had any inclination to do so since I first wrote the article. REUSABLE, ANTIMICROBIAL FILTER, RUNS UP TO 10 HOURS PER FILLThe special, antimicrobial filter in Chillmax Air is designed to hold water without allowing the bacteria and mould that it contains to develop and grow, it's even dishwasher-safe so you can regularly clean it and use it time after time. is designed to hold water without allowing the bacteria and mould that it contains to develop and grow, it’s even washable so you can regularly clean it and use it time after time.
