RKF Evaporative Coolers

Q1Why can RKF evaporative cooler produce cool air?
A1It is the natural way of cooling like a waterfall. When water contacts dry and hot air, it evaporates into the air. This is chemical change and it requires heat, thus water evaporation consumes the heat in air. That's why evaporative cooler can produces cool air with only water.
Q2How much is the power consumptions?
A2It's 245W for RKF406α-E and 510W for RKF505α-A.
Q3What are the consumable parts of RKF evaporative cooler?
A3Only cooling element.
Q4How many years can cooling element last?
A4It depends on usage environment but generally it's about 2 or 3 years.
Q5What is required as maintenance?
A5Drying cooling element is needed after each use. It's only pressing operation switch then cooler dry element automatically. Sometimes it is necessary to flush water tank, rinse cooling element or clean water spray bar.

A1CTR- 500E applies to measuring the moisture of grain. ES-1000 applies to evaluating the appearance of grain. TM-3500 applies to evaluating the componential analysis.
Q2How long does it take inspection for test sample?
A2ES-1000 requires 28 seconds for one work operation. TM-3500 requires about 20 seconds for one work operation.
*The work operation time of CTR-500E is dependent on test sample quantity.
Q3Does it apply to inspecting for all of grain?
