ESSICK AIR
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ESSICK AIR from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Essick Air ducted and window evaporative coolers?
Essick Air ducted evaporative coolers are multiple-inlet residential units intended for permanent installation, with representative dimensions of 34 1/2 in x 34 1/8 in x 34 1/8 in and a 2 in pad thickness. They operate on 115V AC and include a drive package that requires assembly. Window evaporative coolers are self-contained units that mount in a window opening and use a 5-15P plug. Examples include the RN46W with a 13.5 gal water capacity for spaces of 700 to 1,400 sq ft and the N28W with a 3.6 gal water capacity for spaces of 400 to 600 sq ft. Both window models have two fan speeds.
How do I identify the correct Essick Air replacement pump for my cooler?
Pump compatibility is determined by the cooler model and series. Essick Air assigns distinct manufacturer part numbers to pumps for different cooler families. For example, MPN 110467 is listed for Mastercool models 14/21SD, MPN 110468 for Mastercool models 10/12DD, MPN 110467-1 and MPN 110468-1 for Penguin models 75/85DD, and MPN 110440 for the window cooler model RN46W. Match the pump MPN to the cooler model number shown on the unit or in its documentation. The pumps are constructed from plastic or plastic and steel depending on the model.
What are the electrical requirements for Essick Air evaporative coolers?
The ducted multiple-inlet residential evaporative cooler operates on 115V AC. The window evaporative coolers, including the RN46W and N28W, use a 5-15P plug, which is a standard North American 15A 125V plug configuration. Buyers should confirm that the available power supply matches these requirements before installation. For replacement pumps, the electrical characteristics are determined by the cooler model the pump is designed to serve, so the pump MPN should be matched to the cooler model number.
What water capacity and coverage area do Essick Air window evaporative coolers provide?
The Essick Air RN46W window evaporative cooler has a 13.5 gal water capacity and is designed for spaces of 700 to 1,400 sq ft. The N28W window evaporative cooler has a 3.6 gal water capacity and is designed for spaces of 400 to 600 sq ft. Both models have two fan speeds and use a 5-15P plug. Coverage area depends on factors such as climate, insulation, and air exchange rate, so the listed square footage should be treated as a design guideline rather than a fixed performance guarantee.
What materials are used in Essick Air evaporative cooler pumps?
Essick Air evaporative cooler pumps are constructed from plastic or from a combination of plastic and steel, depending on the specific model. For example, the pump for the window cooler model RN46W (MPN 110440) is listed as plastic, while pumps for Mastercool and Penguin ducted coolers (such as MPN 110467, 110468, 110467-1, and 110468-1) are listed as plastic and steel. Material selection is relevant to water exposure and service life, and the pump MPN should be matched to the cooler model for correct fit and function.
Does the Essick Air ducted evaporative cooler include a drive package?
Yes. The Essick Air multiple-inlet residential ducted evaporative cooler is supplied with a drive package included. The drive package requires assembly during installation. The unit operates on 115V AC and has a 2 in pad thickness. Because assembly is required, installation planning should account for the time and tools needed to complete the drive package assembly before the cooler is placed into service. The manufacturer part number for this unit is 2YAE1-2HTK7.
