Q: Does the portable air cooler need to be refilled with water?
A: Yes. As an evaporative cooler, the Siboly XZ13-050 (5000 m³/h model) requires water to operate. It uses water evaporation to cool air (85% efficiency), unlike refrigerant-based ACs. Without water, it functions only as a fan.
Q: How long does a full tank last?
A: Approximately 7–14 hours, depending on:
Tank Capacity: 69 liters (large-capacity design)
Usage Conditions:
Fan Speed: Higher speeds (3-speed settings) increase water consumption
Climate: Hot/dry environments accelerate evaporation
Room Size: Larger spaces (20–30 m² effective area) require more cooling
Typical Runtime:
Low speed: Up to 14 hours
Medium speed: ~10 hours
High speed: 7–8 hours
Pro Tips:
Monitor Remotely: Use the included controller to check water levels
Efficiency Hack: Add ice packs to reduce refill frequency in extreme heat
Maintenance: Refill daily during peak summer; use clean water to prevent mineral buildup
Why It Matters:
With only 0.25 kW power consumption (10% of traditional AC costs), water refills are a small trade-off for energy-efficient cooling in garages, hotels, or households.
