Heat wave and need for cooler

The heat has started reaching its peak in North India, due to which the condition of people is worsening. According to the Meteorological Department, the temperature may reach 42 degrees Celsius in the coming days, making the situation even more difficult. Due to strong sunlight and hot winds, it has become difficult to get relief both during the day and night.

importance of cooler

When the temperature goes above 40 degrees, it becomes difficult to cool down even indoors. In such a situation, many people resort to air conditioner, but this is not possible for everyone. Therefore, most people use coolers, which are a cheap and common option.

Not getting coolness from the cooler?

During summer, many times the cooler is not able to provide the required cool air, which causes problems to people and makes it difficult to sleep at night. However, some simple home remedies can improve the cooling of the cooler, and that too without spending much.

use of ice and salt

Using ice and salt is an effective solution to cool cooler air. For this, add ice cubes to cooler water and add 3-4 handfuls of salt. Due to salt the ice melts slowly, due to which the water remains cold for a long time. This cold water passes through the cooling pads and makes the air cooler.

Take care of cross ventilation

Many people completely close the room while running the cooler, which is not right. This increases the humidity in the room and makes one feel less cold. It would be better to keep the other window or door slightly open along with the cooler window. Due to this, hot air comes out and cold air spreads in the room.

Cleaning Cooling Pads

For proper cooling of the cooler, it is necessary for its cooling pads to be clean and in good condition. If the pads become dirty or old, they cannot absorb water properly and cooling is reduced. Therefore, clean them from time to time or replace them if necessary. Coolness can also be increased by applying slightly wet cloth or jute on the pads.

place the cooler in the right place

Always keep the cooler at a place where there is no direct sunlight. If the cooler is kept in the sun, its water will heat up quickly and there will be less cold air. Therefore, it is more beneficial to keep it in shade.
