CoolBreeze is a family run business that was established in the early 1990’s and has provided a comfortable lifestyle to tens of thousands of families across Australia as well as internationally, in countries such as Spain, Greece, Turkey etc.

At CoolBreeze, they base their success on their mission statement “Be Proud” – it aims to be proud of everything we do and it’s this attitude that has led to the development of many of the unique features of CoolBreeze evaporative cooling units such as the Powerflow Fan, Exhaust Mode, Automatic Weather Seal and Magna-Sensor Water Level Sensor.

Why CoolBreeze

It’s only nature is to want the best value for money when purchasing an air conditioner for your home and we believe CoolBreeze offers the best value. But value for money goes beyond the initial purchase price. Consider what you get when you install a CoolBreeze in your home:

CoolBreeze provides more cool air than any other brand on the market and uses less electricity to do so. More air – Less Energy.

Other brands claim that old-fashioned drum fans make less noise. That may have been the case 15 or 20 years ago, but fan technology has come a long way in that time. So, CoolBreeze had them tested and when delivering the same amount of air, the CoolBreeze Powerflow Fan is quieter.

CoolBreeze features an ingenious Water Management System that uses less water than other brands while ensuring 100% fresh water every time you turn the air conditioner on. There is no water left lying inside the machine when it’s not in use, whether that’s for one day, or right through winter. Your CoolBreeze unit is self-cleaning and essentially maintenance free.

With the optional 4-Seasons Weather Seal there is no need to climb on the roof (or pay a professional) to cover the unit in winter and then come back 6 months later to uncover it. Your CoolBreeze unit is always ready to go whenever you need fresh, filtered air in your home. That first hot day of spring – CoolBreeze is ready! CoolBreeze also offers the best evaporative air conditioner warranty in the world – a whopping ten years for total peace of mind!

Evaporative Cooling System Technology

Exhaust Mode – Exclusive to CoolBreeze

Use your CoolBreeze evaporative cooling system 365 days of the year. Only CoolBreeze cooling systems offer you this unique feature standard with every model. At the touch of a button, every outlet of your CoolBreeze evaporative A/C is transformed into a powerful extraction fan – clearing your entire home of stale air and unwanted odours. Use your CoolBreeze every day even in winter to freshen your home without the need to open windows to the cold outside even in winter to freshen your home without the need to open windows to the cold outside.

Weather Management System

Automatically seals off airflow to and from your home when the air conditioning system is not operating. Prevents cold drafts entering your home as well as heat loss in winter through the ducting and air conditioning system.

Quietest Performance

An efficient design coupled with noise absorbing polymer construction and our advanced fan technology, all combine to make CoolBreeze one of the quietest systems on the market today.

CoolBreeze technology has developed the quietest performing evaporative airconditioner available, without reducing the all-important airflow!

Temperature control

Another first for CoolBreeze was the introduction of electronic temperature control, currently available on the QA series controller.

Simply set your desired temperature and your CoolBreeze evaporative A/C will work to the best of its ability to keep your home at that temperature. The unit will even turn itself off at night and on again the following morning when it is in Automatic Temperature Mode.

Intelligent Water Management System

CoolBreeze were the first and are still the only air conditioning company to introduce a fully automatic, whole of unit, water management system to all their domestic systems. Outdated Bleed systems are not even available as an option.

Your CoolBreeze evaporative cooling system will be protected with the technologically advanced water management system reducing water usage and extending the life of the filter panels by removing deposit build-up. The Water Manager comes standard with every system. A unique wash, flush and drain cycle at the start of each day ensures a cleaner system requiring less maintenance.

When the unit is turned off it also performs the same automatic maintenance cycle to ensure all the contaminants filtered out of the air are flushed out of the system and then drains the water to ensure the water reservoir is dry when the unit is not in use. The technologically advanced water management system reduces water usage and extends the life of the filter panels by removing deposit build-up.

Air Conditioning Polymer Casing

Premium grade and exceptionally tough polymer, it’s integral strength, resistance and durability to weathering, including UV degradation is unmatched by any other casing material.

There is absolutely no corrosion which is common in metal casings. Your CoolBreeze evaporative cooling system will not crack and it will never corrode, always performing as good as the day it was installed.

How it works?

Evaporative Air Conditioninguses the natural process of evaporation to provide cool air throughout your home. The process is identical to a refreshing ‘sea breeze’ – as air is blown across the water it gives off its heat and we enjoy the cool air.

The temperature that we feel as a direct result of air movement across our body on a hot day is known as the effective temperature. An effective temperature should not be confused with the actual temperature that you would read from a thermometer.

When sensing a breeze, we feel colder even though the air stream produced by the breeze is the same temperature as the air. The cooling effect of air in motion is due to increased skin evaporation. Heat is removed from the body so you feel cooler.

By moving a large volume of cool air through the house, usually changing all the air 35 times per hour, the cool air removes the heat build-up in the walls and structure of the house itself. This provides a nice, comfortable home filled with fresh, filtered, cool air.

THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF EVAPORATIVE COOLING

Unlike refrigerated air conditioning systems where the air is dried, chilled and re-circulated, evaporative systems use the natural element of water to cool the air. With evaporative cooling, the air is never re-circulated as stale air is constantly expelled through open doors and windows. Fresh, filtered air is always used to cool your home.

REDUCTION OF RADIATED HEAT TO OCCUPANTS

  • Normally heat radiates from the body out to surrounding walls and ceilings

  • As the temperature reaches 34o – 35o, heat is radiated back to the human body

  • Evaporative air conditioning prevents this by absorbing heat from walls/ceilings with a constant flow of cool air

  • The human body can then radiate heat and so feels cooler

SO HOW COLD DOES AN EVAPORATIVE AIR CONDITIONER GET?

  • An easy answer is to just “estimate” around 12 – 14-degree C temperature differential between inside your house to the outside temperature. But there is a bit more science to it! But there is a bit more science to it!

It does involve two important readings –

  • Dry Bulb Temperature (Tdb) – The ambient temperature taken with a standard thermometer

  • Wet Bulb Temperature (Twb) – The theoretical lowest temperature to which a given body of air can be cooled by evaporating water in it.

  • Wet bulb temperature is affected by humidity, height above sea level, dry bulb temp and a number of varying factors

Calculating an estimated supply air temperature (from the unit) –

  • Take the difference between the Dry Bulb and Wet Bulb temperatures (e.g. 38 – 21 = 17o)

  • Multiply this number (17o) x the cooling efficiency of the filter pads (usually about 80-85%)

  • 17 x 80% = 13.6o

  • Subtract this number from the Dry Bulb temperature … 38o – 13.6o = 24.4o … and that’s the expected cooling ability.

Energy Saving

Although evaporative air conditioners can make huge savings on energy costs compared to refrigerated air conditioning, it is important to note that not all evaporative air conditioners are equal.

The science behind evaporative air conditioners relies on two factors, the air flow and the volume of the cooling media or filter panels. If the filter panels are too small it doesn’t matter how much air you push through them, there just won’t be enough cooling. The reverse also is true, it doesn’t matter how big the filter panels are if you’re not moving enough air through them.

Testing has shown that CoolBreeze provides the most cooling ability of any residential evaporative unit on the market in Australia. But the surprising result of the testing was that CoolBreeze used less energy to achieve these results. That’s more cooling – less energy!

CoolBreeze features a unique ‘under-fan’ direct drive motor that enables a lower profile roof mounted cabinet and lower running costs compared to barrel type fans. This design allows for closer manufacturing tolerances resulting in quieter operation.

The direct drive motor does away with drive belts and pulleys that need regular adjustment and maintenance.

The “golf ball” like a dimpled surface of the Powerflow fan used on the larger CoolBreeze models ensures maximum airflow with minimum noise. CSIRO testing shows CoolBreeze to be one of the quietest brands on the market.

More cooling, less energy – that feels good!

Ecologically Friendly

By introducing large volumes of fresh, cool, filtered air into your home, the CoolBreeze evaporative cooler maintains a healthy environment for your family in contrast to refrigerated air conditioners that re-circulate the same air over and over again.

CoolBreeze air conditioners are kind to the environment too. Our manufacturing plant in Perth WA, prides itself on its commitment to a program of “Recycle, Reduce and Reuse” to minimise our environmental impact.

The intelligent design of CoolBreeze evaporative coolers has resulted in a highly efficient product that excels in energy efficiency compared to other brands of evaporative coolers and absolutely puts energy hungry refrigerated systems in the shade.

The Australia Government website http://www.yourhome.gov.au/energy/heating-and-cooling states “However, [refrigerated systems] consume more energy and create more greenhouse gases than fans and efficient evaporative cooling systems”.

Minimal water usage made possible by the unique CoolBreeze Water Management System combined with a small water reservoir of only 11 litres is another way the CoolBreeze air-conditioners have less impact on our precious resources than comparable evaporative air conditioning units.
