evaCHILL
If you’re feeling the heat from working from home during summer, then air coolers such as the evaCHILL by evapolar are a great way to create the perfect working environment for you. Lightweight and portable, this personal air cooler uses a combination of a traditional office fan and a water-drenched filter to blow out cool air. As warm air is pulled from the outside by the fan it passes through the filters and cools down in what is known as evaporation cooling.
