冷風機是一種能夠吹出冷風的電器。它的主要結構包括風扇和水簾。使用時，只需在機內加入冰水或冰塊，熱空氣經過水簾時就會被降溫和增加濕度，從而產生涼爽的冷風。

與傳統風扇不同，冷風機能夠將室內溫度降低1-2°C，加水後可降溫4-6°C，加入冰塊更可降至8-10°C。 這是因為冷風機利用水蒸發的潛熱來達到製冷效果，而非單純增加空氣流通。不過，濕度過高的環境可能會影響冷風機的降溫效果。

相比之下，移動式冷氣機的製冷效果更為顯著，能夠將室溫降低10°C以上。但它的耗電量也較高，一匹冷氣機每8小時的電費約為$8.35，而冷風機每小時只需$0.09。此外，移動式冷氣機需要固定安裝，較不便於移動，而冷風機則可隨意擺放。

總的來說，冷風機雖然降溫效果略遜於移動式冷氣機，但大幅節省電費，而且操作更加簡單方便，適合喜歡隨意移動的用家。

確保你選購的冷風機符合你的空間和擺放位置。

不同型號的冷風機有不同的製冷方式，包括使用內置「雪種」或冰塊等。

了解不同送風模式和風力調節功能的重要性，以確保滿足你的需求。

考慮定時自動關機、離子功能、缺水提示聲響等附加功能，以提升使用便利性。

由於冷風機透過冷水及「雪種」降溫，在加水或更換「雪種」時要小心。避免在濕手時進行以上步驟或觸碰冷風機，以及小心打翻儲水箱，造成漏電風險！

在更換冷水或「雪種」時，應利用遙控器切斷電源，或拔出插頭，安全使用冷風機。此外，用完冷風機後，亦應該把電源切斷，節省電力！

An air cooler is an electrical appliance that can blow out cool air. Its main structure includes a fan and a water curtain. When in use, just add ice water or ice cubes to the machine, and the hot air passing through the water curtain will be cooled and humidified, producing a refreshing cool breeze.

Unlike traditional fans, an evaporative cooler can lower the indoor temperature by 1-2°C, and with added water, the temperature can be lowered by 4-6°C. With the addition of ice cubes, the temperature can even be lowered by 8-10°C. This is because the evaporative cooler utilizes the latent heat of water evaporation to achieve the cooling effect, rather than just increasing air circulation. However, an environment with excessively high humidity may affect the cooling performance of the evaporative cooler.

In comparison, a portable air conditioner has a more significant cooling effect, able to lower the room temperature by more than 10°C. However, it also has a higher power consumption, with an electricity cost of about $8.35 for an 8-hour operation of a 1-horsepower air conditioner, while an evaporative cooler only costs about $0.09 per hour. Additionally, a portable air conditioner requires fixed installation and is less convenient to move around, while an evaporative cooler can be placed anywhere.

In summary, while the cooling effect of an evaporative cooler is slightly inferior to a portable air conditioner, it significantly saves on electricity costs and is easier to operate and move, making it suitable for users who prefer more flexibility.

Ensure the evaporative cooler you choose fits your space and placement location.

Different models of evaporative coolers have different cooling methods, including using built-in "refrigerants" or ice cubes.

Understand the importance of different air delivery modes and fan speed adjustment functions to meet your needs.

Consider features like automatic shut-off, ionization, and low water level alerts to enhance user convenience.

As evaporative coolers use cold water and "refrigerants" for cooling, be careful when adding water or replacing "refrigerants". Avoid touching the cooler with wet hands or spilling the water tank, as this poses a risk of electric shock.

When adding water or replacing "refrigerants", use the remote control to turn off the power or unplug the unit for safe operation. Additionally, turn off the power after using the evaporative cooler to save electricity.
