Build A Better Personal Cooler

This hot weather got me thinking that I could make my own mini personal air cooler. I have a small “mini A/C” that I bought a few months ago. But it doesn’t work as well as expected.
Going through my bag of parts, I had most everything on hand to build a small swamp cooler or evaporative cooler. Today I put all the pieces together and compared my diy version to the store bought model. I am happy to report that my homemade cooler works much better than the more expensive store bought one. And my version is a more simple design.
Update: using my swamp cooler for the last week or so, I have not needed the water pump. I’d recommend not bothering to add a water pump as the humidifier wick works great all by itself.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

I made one of these when my portable ac was not working well in my apt bk in 2018. I don’t knife electrics thou. I took apart a small fan and cut the holes with a box cutter, bought the tubes in the plumbing supply at the hardware store and used block ice. Didn’t work very well. They said to use dry ice for better effect but stores were sold out! Even block ice was hard to find at the time. Just bought a 2nd used portable A/C for my living room, my bedroom one is pretty new but these weeks of 24/7 use and it’s not working well now. At least I could use my stovetop tonight! 😃 Sorry so long. Bad day and now I hv a sore throat. I’m glad you’re in the Seattle area. Better there that most places for this non stop never ending heatwave! 🥵

That is really creative Scott. Well done. We had swamp coolers here when we moved in but when we got the new roof, they disconnected them and frankly for our space, they were rather ineffective. In your space it makes good sense. The quiet fan has t be better too. I'd donate the used one to a charity shop and let someone else sit right next to it.

I recently upgraded my cooler ac or swamp cooler. I added a coil and a water pump to mine. Now it pumps water through the coil and the fan blows air across the coil. Puts less humidity out and can actually dehumidify a little bit. But I live in Florida so swamp coolers do very little down here. It is better than nothing especially if your ac does not work in the car. As long as the water is cold I will get 20 to 30 degree colder air through it.

Hi Scott, I do recommend wetting the filter (In the old swamp cooler) then putting it in the freezer as this has worked wonders for me! Granted it doesn't replace an actual A/C but it does help. The air that blows out comes out cold when it passes through the icy filters.
@StaticCamperVan
@StaticCamperVan Месяц назад
Freezing a real swamp cooler, like those I made here, won’t work as the ice will block the flow of air. Also, as I explained in the video, blowing hot air on ice isn’t an effective way to provide cooling. Ice is going to melt very quickly when hot air is blown on it.

It is probably an idea to investigate computer fans more. There are fans that are designed to be much quieter than standard computer fans. These usually cost more, but I think it is worth spending a bit extra to get a quieter fan. Also, it is better to get a larger fan if possible, as they can run slower and hence quieter for the same amount of air moved. Noctua is a computer fan brand well known for making quiet fans, although they are probably double the price of other brands.

I then cut a mother whole to put a curb tube/hose like yours to face my direction. I place a block of ice in the styrofoam .I plug in fan and turn on high the air blowing on the block ice makes it feel super cool. It last for a few hours.

All those motor control switches have similar wiring. They will have a positive and a negative input. Then a positive and negative output to whatever the switch is powering. Each motor controller will come with a wiring diagram to follow. DC electric is fairly easy because it is a two wire system.

That’s the great thing about an evaporator cooler, they work extremely well with nothing more than plain water

Looks good. Hook a 3 inch flex hose to the outlet and duct it under your shirt to get the most cooling directly on you.

As I explained, I can sit well back from my cooler and feel the cold air

Probably better for everyone to make their own. That way they can pick the correct size bucket and vents to match their needs

Sometimes the comments are hilarious. Wouldn’t a 25 lb bag of crushed ice in front of a 12” oscillating fan while parked in an air conditioned garage work better?

@PedroNord haha. Very few people are watching the whole video so they have no idea what my thoughts are on using ice

I don't get it. You have an air conditioner in the car. Why not use it?
