Page 4: Introduction
100% indicates that the air at this temperature and pressure is holding all the moisture it can. If the air has less that 100% relative humidity when entering the PORT-A-COOL® unit, then it has the ability to hold more moisture, and will thus evaporate more water and cool more effectively.
Page 5: Humidity And Evaporative Cooling
The PORT-A-COOL® unit has incorporated all of these features and more. As explained in PART B of this section, the effectiveness of the PORT-A-COOL® unit is best appreciated when it is above 85˚F and below 75% relative humidity. By the time the outside temperature reaches 85˚F, the humidity is almost always below 75%.

Page 7: Operating Procedures
There are three primary considerations when deciding where to place the PORT-A-COOL® unit. 1) Fresh Air Supply - The inlet side of the PORT-A-COOL® unit (pad side) must be placed so as to insure that a smooth, uninterrupted supply of fresh air is available.
Page 8: Starting The Pump And Adjusting The Water Flow
It is important to insure that the spray bar is properly adjusted when first starting the water flow in the PORT-A-COOL® unit. Increasing the flow using the SPRAy BAR ADJUSTMENT valve on the side of the unit makes this adjustment.

Once the sump is drained and the power disconnected, the pads may be removed to allow inspection of the sump tank. Assuming that the PORT-A-COOL® unit is in a dusty environment, dust will collect in the sump tank over time. This dirt and any remaining water may be vacuumed out using a wet/dry shop vacuum and wiped clean with a cloth.

So while defining the problem, a careful check of all systems should be made to fully understand the extent of the problem. If you have a complete understanding of all the systems of the PORT-A-COOL® unit and how they depend on each other, it becomes much simpler to define and solve any problems.

A: A new unit will go through a break-in period during which it may emit some odor. The pads, located in the back of your Port-A-Cool® unit, have never been wet. The resin in the pads will emit an odor the first time you wet them that lasts approximately one to three weeks. Keep the unit in an open area until the odor goes away or put a capful of laundry softener directly in the tank in the bottom of your unit.
