INTRODUCTION WHY USE EVAPORATIVE COOLERS IN YOUR WORKPLACE? ® • The WayCool evaporative cooler requires little space, has a low initial cost, is inexpensive and simple to operate and requires minimal scheduled maintenance. • Due to the design and construction of the cooling pads, cooling efficiency is normally maintained near optimum throughout the life of the pads, which can easily last for about two seasons with proper care.
INTRODUCTION HOW EVAPORATIVE COOLING WORKS Figure WC-1HP-DHL.02 - Evaporative Cooling Principle Evaporative cooling is the same process your body uses to cool itself. When you perspire, and air moves across your skin, a portion of the perspiration (water) evaporates. Evaporation requires heat to change liquid water-to-water vapor and this heat is taken from your skin, producing the cooling effect.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL The intent of this manual is to help you in two ways: to provide you with step-by-step instructions for quick and easy assembly of your product and to serve as a reference for simple maintenance and questions regarding your product.
SAFETY INFORMATION Warning and Danger Decals have been placed on the equipment to warn of potentially dangerous situations. Care should be taken to keep this information intact and easy to read at all times. Replace missing or damaged safety decals immediately. Using the equipment for purposes other than specified in this manual may cause personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
WARNING! This unit can ONLY be use in the Hazardous Locations listed on this label. The unit is certified for Not-Normally Hazardous Locations: Figure WC-1HP-DHL.03 - Decals Class1, Division 2, Group D Class 2, Division 2, Groups F & G Class 3 Locations As described by the “National Fire Protection Association”...

WC-1HP-DHL UNIT DESCRIPTION ® The WayCool evaporative cooler is a completely self-contained, portable unit capable of delivering 40 MPH velocity of air with a temperature drop of up to 20°. The unit is composed of: • Level-controlled water supply system •...
The bottom can be supplied continuously with an ordinary garden hose by attaching the supplied hose adapter (see Figure WC-1HP-DHL.08) to the fill connection, or it can be filled manually. With a continuous water supply connected, the float valve in the bottom (like the one in your toilet tank) rises and falls with the water level.

The pump can be easily removed and replaced with the services of a qualified electrician. Plastic Screen Pump Impeller Figure WC-1HP-DHL.06 – Pump A small plastic screen covers the pump inlet to prevent foreign matter from entering and damaging the pump impeller. The screen snaps in place and can be easily removed for inspection or cleaning.

WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM A clear vinyl hose connects the pump to the filter. From the filter, a "T" connector supplies two lines that run along the bottom and up opposite frame corners to supply the PVC pipe with water. Each vinyl hose connects to two PVC pipes, which run horizontally along the top of the frame above the cooling pads.
COOLING PAD ASSEMBLY The cooling pads are critical for proper, efficient cooler operation. They are made of laminated cellulose (paper) fibers and arranged to give a large surface area for evaporation and to provide a rigid structure. The shape of the cells allows high velocity airflow through the pad at a minimum pressure drop. At the same time, the air passages between the cells force the incoming air to impinge on the wet cell surfaces and maximize evaporation.
Note: The WC-1HP-DHL unit requires 120 volts and 20 amps of power. This is normally available on most circuits. However, if you are running a number of other items on the same circuit, you may trip the breaker.
ON/OFF – single speed Pump Selector Switch Figure WC-1HP-DHL.08 - WayCool Control Switch Both the manual Motor starter switch and the Pump switch function as ON/OFF only. The unit can run with pump only ON, fan (motor) only ON or both ON.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE UNIT PLACEMENT AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Figure WC-1HP-DHL.09 Typical WayCool® Unit Arrangement ® The WayCool unit(s) should be placed at one end of the building and an appropriate exhaust fan should be at the opposite end to pull the cool air from the WayCool® unit and discharge the warm air out of the building.
® WayCool WC-1HP-DHL is fully assembled and ready for service except for thoroughly cleaning manufacturing dust from the cooling pads before running it for the first time. CAUTION: Be careful when you move the unit while it is in the shipping container and when moving it around with the container removed.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE 9. Ensure the frame legs are straight and in alignment, and that the blower is sitting level and in proper position. Maintenance Note: If you notice any damage to your unit, immediately contact the dealer where you purchased it. 10.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE NORMAL STARTUP 1. Place the unit in the position where it will be run. Do not attempt to lift or move the unit once it is filled. Damage to the unit or a large spill may occur. Note: When you decide where to place the unit, make sure there are no obstructions in the way that will disrupt or block the airflow.
Inspect and clean the pump discharge filter. c. Inspect and clean the pump intake filter. d. Ensure the impeller on the inside of the pump turns freely – see figure WC-1HP-DHL.05 – Pump. e. Filter may have an air lock. Remove clear filter cap and screen. Turn on pump until water flows through.
