the solar cooler from the inside

The Solar powered COOLMAX SCM50 is a quiet, high performance wall or window mounted evaporative cooler.

Feel cool while caring for the environment with the SOLAR COOLMAX SCM50. You will save up to 1800 kg of CO2 per year, compared to a wall hung split air conditioner.* The SOLAR COOLMAX SCM50 is the most energy efficient, environmentally friendly way of cooling your family and friends.

*Based on the article ‘New trends in residential cooling - energy saving with evaporative cooling.’

Environmentally friendly!

The Solar COOLMAX SCM50 is the quiet, environmentally friendly way to keep cool. The cooler uses no CFC’s, and for most people net power use will be zero!

view of solar cells

How does it work?

The sun shines on the solar cells which are located on your roof. The solar cells generate electricity which powers the wall (or window) mounted evaporative cooler. You relax inside in comfort, knowing that you are minimising your impact on the environment. If the cooler is not using all the electricity produced, it even feeds back into the electricity grid earning you money! At night and when the sky is overcast, you can still use the cooler as it takes power from the electricity grid. Even when you run the cooler all night the solar modules will generally produce more spare electricity during the day than the cooler uses at night. (The peak production rate is about twice the peak electricity usage.) If you are not connected to the grid contact us.

Unobtrusive

From the inside all you will see is a small grille in a tasteful two tone grey. On the outside there are three unobtrusive roof panels, the cooler cabinet and an electrical box.

Everything you need

The system includes:

The fan is where it should be, outside!

Most of the noise in an evaporative cooler comes from the fan, so we have put the fan as far away from you as possible-outside! High performance acoustic insulation further reduces the noise so you can relax in peace.

High efficiency fan

Energy use is minimised by a high efficiency fan. In fact the cooler saves up to 50% of the energy used by some other similar evaporative coolers. (Saves up to 80% of the cooling energy used by a refrigerated air conditioner.) This means you won’t need to worry as electricity prices continue to rise.

Bellmouth inlet for low noise

The cabinet curves in at the inlet to the fan. This ensures the air flows smoothly onto the fan blades to give maximum airflow with a minimum noise level.

Unique one piece construction

Unique one piece construction in UV -stabilised polyethylene avoids leaks and corrosion for long life.

Direct the cooling where you want it

Double deflection louvres let you direct the air where you want it for maximum comfort.

Easy and convenient controls

The simple controls on the COOLMAX are easy to use. There are no batteries to go flat or remote controls to lose. Simply adjust the variable speed control to get the exact amount of cooling you want.

Automatic weather damper

An automatic weather damper shuts when the fan is off to minimise cold drafts.

CELdek(r) pad for long life

The cooler is fitted with the world-renowned CELdek(r) pad. This ensures a long life, high cooling performance and also helps keep the noise low!

Minimal water use

Water use is minimised with a special ‘no adjustment needed’ bleed system to minimise your running costs. The bleed system prevents the harmful buildup of salts and dirt to maximise the life of your cooler.

How the cooler cools the room

Generous cooling capacity so that you can relax in comfort

The COOLMAX SCM50 is powerful enough to cool up to 45m2 floor area. Because the COOLMAX is evaporative, you can leave doors open to keep that spacious feeling. All the air is fresh and filtered to give a natural environment in your home. The cooler blows directly into the space where you are, to maximise your comfort, so you can sleep the night through.
