Chillmax Air Pure Chill 2.0 - New, improved, personal air cooler and humidifier

Product Information

There are many, many more. And in every case, the relationship with humidity is the key. If it is already humid, evaporative coolers do not work and actually make things worse. Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioners that use nasty chemical coolants, the JML air cooler only uses evaporation and water to operate! They cool the inlet air by several degrees. But they send the humidity of that air up considerably, and this cancels out the benefits of the cooling effect when it is very hot. The ‘Heat Index’ is the key detail, as explained above. In the case of the InstaChill, it will add a lot more humidity than the ChillMax, and as I have explained and demonstrated, the ChillMax is bad enough when it comes to increasing the ‘feels like’ temperature. The term ‘humidity’ usually refers to the absolute humidity, which is amount of water in the air. However, the figure most people are referring to is the relative humidity. This is the amount of moisture in the air expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount it could hold at that temperature, hence the units %RH. It’s a complicated subject, but the important factor for us here is that when it is warm or hot, higher absolute humidity is uncomfortable because the amount of moisture in the air relative to the maximum possible is higher. Indeed, you may have seen weather forecasts where they give the actual temperature and the ‘feels like’ equivalent – that’s a reference to the ‘ Heat Index’, which takes into account the effect of the %RH. Here’s a graphical chart for that.

Chillmax Air gives you the best features of both fans and air conditioning in one, compact unit that's also a night light. Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioning units that cost the earth, make a lot of noise and use ozone-destroying chemical coolants to cool the air but leave it dry, Chillmax Air sprays a fine mist that is then sent through the special filter and so only uses evaporation and water to operate!Chillmax Air Pure Chill uses a better, improved fan, built within its sound-protective casing, to distribute the cool air in your direction. And with three settings, you can have the perfect amount of cool, moist air for whatever the weather throws at you, day or night! Built-in LED mood and night light with SEVEN colours Chillmax Air gives you the best features of both fans and air conditioning in one, compact unit that's also a night light. Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioning units that cost the earth, make a lot of noise and use ozone-destroying chemical coolants to cool the air but leave it dry, Chillmax Air sprays a fine mist that is then sent through the special filter and so only uses evaporation and water to operate! Adjustable three-speed whisper-quiet fan The ambient humidity in the room where I did the test was about 44%RH. The Chillmax sent that up to over 70%RH. It is this elevation of the humidity of the cooled air which really brings into question whether the Chillmax is worth the investment. It does cool the air by a few degrees, so in that sense it works. However, it also sends the humidity up, and in most cases that actually makes you feel hotter and more uncomfortable. In that sense, it doesn’t work.

Increased power with 3 fan settings Early in July 2019, I saw the Chillmax Air advertised on TV in one of those shouty JML ads. That same evening, I was shopping in Asda and saw it on display. I am an idiot for things like this, and bought it on impulse so I could test whether it worked or not.

The type of air conditioner you buy depends on the size of the room you want to cool. Anything below 8,000 is likely only going to cool a small/personal space, whereas 9 -12,000 BTU’s can usually cool up to 25 square metres. CHILLS IN 2 WAYS: Chillmax Air Pure Chill gives you the best features of both fans and air conditioning in one, compact unit that’s also a night light. Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioning units that cost the earth, Chillmax Air Pure Chill sprays a fine mist that is then sent through the special filter and so only uses evaporation and water to operate! I fired up my trusty data logger and left it in front of my desk fan for 30 minutes for the control data. Then I powered up the Chillmax and moved the logger in front of it for the same period of time. This is what it recorded (the red line is where I moved it).Chillmax Air Pure Chill 2.0 is the new and improved personal cooler that turns water, via a special, silver-infused filter and specially designed diffuser, into a fine mist of cool, refreshing air circulated by a fan with four speed settings. It humidifies while it cools your personal breathing space so you can stay cool and breathe moist, humid air wherever the weather is hot and muggy-day or night. The secret is Hydro-Chill Technology, which uses our advanced, evaporative air-cooling filter to pull in warm, dry air and instantly transform it into a cool air. Now, with our new and improved dual-mist spray jets you get even more instant air cooling with a dual blast of refreshing mist.

Cools your personal space Perfect for those hot summer days (and nights!), the JML ChillMax Air is your very own personal space air cooler and humidifier. The calculation for this is complex (you should see how long my Excel formula for it is). It is non-linear, and the increase in ‘feels like’ is greater at higher temperatures. It also contains an element of opinion/perception, which is why there’s no point using numbers above about 60ºC. But the ‘Heat Index’ is what forecasters use. Incidentally, the official health designations for the colours are: yellow – caution; amber – extreme caution; orange – danger; and red – extreme danger. Vulnerable people need to take these into consideration before going out in hot weather.

WASHABLE SILVER-INFUSED SPONGE FILTER: The special, antimicrobial, silver-infused filter in Chillmax Air Pure Chill is designed to hold water without allowing the bacteria and mould that it contains to develop and grow, it’s even washable so you can regularly clean it and use it time after time. The top-fill water reservoir, with its UV-C light, combined with the filter, means you can rely on Chillmax Air Pure Chill to run for a whole night’s sleep, or an entire working day in a hot stuffy office, breathing in cool, humid air!When I first set it up and turned it on, the first thing I noticed was that the fan is quite powerful, so you get a good flow of air directed at you – but note that that it’s only a 5″ computer fan, so it can’t beat a proper desk fan for air flow. The air did seem a little cooler compared with what my desk fan was blowing at me, but it also felt ‘softer’ – that’s very important, and I’ll explain later. But the big question was how much cooler was the exhaust air?
