FAQ

What is Adamfresh?

It’s an evaporative portable cooler and not an air conditioner.
In addition to its special active carbon and pollen filters, Adamfresh is a powerful and versatile unit that filters the air automatically.

What works with Adamfresh?

When using the cooling feature, fill the tank with distilled water, bottled water or drinking water from the tap.
By inserting the normal evaporative filter, fresh air is produced to come out of the vents.
In the air filtration feature, simply insert the special filters in their proper compartments in the empty tank, no need for water.

How does the evaporative process work?

Adamfresh produces fresh air through the evaporation of the water contained in the filter, resulting in the lowering of the temperature of the air that is expelled.

What filters can be equipped with Adamfresh?

Adamfresh can be equipped with three different types of filters: evaporative - antipollen - combined with activated carbon.

What are the different filters?

The evaporative filter produces fresh air and runs Adamfresh as summer cooler or as a humidifier in the winter to produce warm and dry heating air indoors.
The antipollen filter traps the pollen in the air and it is used to counteract seasonal respiratory allergies.
The combined filter performs three features:
1 - It is a barrier for fine particles generated by wood combustion in the fireplace during the winter months.
2 - It can be used as a filter for unpleasant cooking smells that may be present.
3 - It is highly effective in filtering and absorbing cigarette smoke in addition to fighting passive smoking indoors.
It can also filter fumes of glues and paints typically produced from DIY home projects thanks to its active carbons feature.

From which indoor pollutants should we defend ourselves?

Pollen, fine dust generated from wood - stove burners, dust and airborne dust, odors and molds, cigarette smoke.

What is mechanical air filtration?

It consists of sucking air containing impurities from the environment and retaining it in the filter. The end result of this treatment aims to liberate the air from harmful substances to improve breathing.

Where can the air filtering features be used?

Air filtration, as well as cooling, can be used in camper and indoor environments according to needs.

How can I filter out the pollen from the environment?

To get the best results from the pollen filter, the air must be filtered from a room with doors and windows closed.
You should keep in mind that stopping pollen filtration after a short time regenerates pollen in significant concentrations, and you are more likely to breath it again.
Constant filtration ensures the best results promoting a favorable personal and family level of comfort.

How should the combined activated carbon filter be used?

Considering the nature of the contaminants to be filtered, it is a good practice to use the continuous air filtration method.
Using the continuous filtration method makes it possible to handle the opening and closing of the doors and windows allowing residential rooms to remain open or closed according to daily needs.

How often do the filters need to be replaced?

There is no exact time set for replacing the evaporative filter since it depends mainly on how the user uses it, however, after roughly 200 hours of work, the machine displays an alert indicating that it’s time for maintenance check.
For the antipollen filter, it is recommended to limit the use of a single filter to one season, for example the spring, and replace it the following season.
For the combined filter, the expected lifecycle is about one year, keeping in mind that intensive use will require more frequent replacement.

Is Adamfresh made in Italy?

Adamfresh is completely designed and made in Italy in the Cablofil factory in Pegognaga.

What is the difference between a portable Evaporative Cooler and an Air Conditioner?

A cooler directs a stream of fresh air on people, reducing body heat and offering a pleasant sensation that is similar to that of a sea breeze.
An air conditioner strongly lowers the temperature of the whole environment in order to lower body heat, using a high consumption of energy.
Evaporative coolers use an ecologic cycle with minimal energy consumption
Air conditioners use a refrigeration cycle with an extremely high energy consumption.

Why can I also use Adamfresh outdoors, unlike an air conditioner?

To provide wellbeing, Adamfresh does not need to lower the room temperature
Air conditioners need to lower the room temperature
Adamfresh, to provide wellbeing, creates an effect similar to a sea breeze, directing the air directly on people
Air conditioners need to produce cold air to lower the temperature, even where people are not present
Adamfresh has its own internal batteries which allow him to work anywhere
Adamfresh is equipped with its own internal batteries that allow it to work anywhere
An air conditioner needs an external power supply
In order to work, Adamfresh does not need any installation, suction and drain pipes, etc.
Air conditioners need suction and drain pipes and installation in order to work
Adamfresh is very light, and weighs only 6 kg
Air conditioners are very heavy, and even ‘portable’ ones are big, weighty and therefore quite difficult to move.

Does Adamfresh need any external air supply to work?

Adamfresh does not need any pipes or external air supply and has no need for any condensation drain pipes.

How much water does Adamfresh use per hour?

About 0.33 cc with average humidity levels. This is more or less as much as a can of soda.

What is the capacity of Adamfresh’s water tank?

2.7 liters, for an average running time of about 8 hours.

Can surface water be used (i.e. lake water or similar)?

It is necessary to use microbiologically potable water (distilled water – bottled water – tap water)

How much electric power does Adamfresh use?

1 to 4.5 Ampere, depending on the fan speed setting.
Max power: 85 Watts

What kind of power supply does it need?

220V household plug sockets, through its own power cable (like a laptop)
12V camper/truck/other vehicle’s battery, through the power cable plugged into the car charging point (power cable included)
rechargeable internal lithium-ion batteries.
