CLIMACOOL is a cube-shaped personal mini air cooler, designed to provide a breeze of freshness on a desk, bedside table, or workspace during hot weather. It works on the principle of hydro-cooling, which is cooling via evaporation: ambient air passes through a moistened filter and comes out as a cooler, slightly humidified stream. Simply open the hatch on top to pour in water, with or without ice cubes, plug the device into a computer, power bank, or adapter using its USB cable, and turn it on with a simple press of the top button. The ventilation grille can be adjusted to direct the airflow. A silent mode allows for nighttime use, and a mood light with 7 colors, either fixed or rotating, illuminates its translucent side panels. Compact and easy to move, it accompanies your summer days from room to room, providing targeted freshness exactly where you need it.
The principle
Evaporative cooling
Evaporative cooling is one of the oldest methods for lowering air temperature: it is the principle behind porous clay jars or moistened mashrabiya screens. When water evaporates, it absorbs heat; therefore, air that passes through a damp medium emerges cooler.
CLIMACOOL applies this principle on a small scale: a fan pulls warm air through a water-soaked filter and releases it as a refreshed stream. Adding ice cubes to the reservoir enhances the cooling sensation. Unlike a compressor-based air conditioner, the device requires no refrigerant gas or external exhaust, providing localized cooling in the user's immediate vicinity.

Freshness at your fingertips
When the thermometer climbs, you don't always need to cool an entire room: you mainly need freshness where you are. Placed in front of you on a desk or next to your bed, CLIMACOOL creates a small bubble of refreshed air. It moves easily from room to room, from the living room to the bedroom, as needed.
Its cube shape in white and gray fits discreetly into most interiors. In the evening, its translucent panels light up, turning the device into a colorful nightlight, available in seven shades or a changing mode.
Getting started
1
Open the hatch located on top of the device.
2
Pour fresh water into the reservoir, and add ice cubes if desired.
3
Plug the USB cable into a computer, power bank, or USB power adapter.
4
Press the button on top to start the device, then aim the grille toward you.
Good to know: CLIMACOOL is a personal air cooler that works by evaporation. It provides targeted freshness in the immediate vicinity but does not replace a fixed or portable compressor-based air conditioner for cooling an entire room.
Tip: Use very cold water, or even a few ice cubes, and place the device within one meter of you with the grille facing your face: this is how the cooling sensation is most effective.

Precautions: Do not move the device when the reservoir is full and do not tip it over. Empty and let the reservoir dry if you do not plan to use it for several days to prevent unpleasant odors. Evaporation slightly humidifies the air: ventilate the room regularly.

Frequently asked questions
Is CLIMACOOL a real air conditioner?
No, and it is important to know this before purchasing. CLIMACOOL is a personal air cooler that works by evaporation: air passes through a moistened filter and comes out cooler. It contains no compressor or refrigerant gas and does not exhaust hot air outside. It is therefore designed to provide targeted freshness near the user, such as on a desk or bedside table. To lower the temperature of an entire room, a compressor-based air conditioner is still necessary.
How do I fill the reservoir?
The reservoir is filled via a hatch on top of the device. Open it, pour in fresh water without overfilling, and close it. You can add a few ice cubes to enhance the feeling of freshness. Do not overfill to avoid leaking during use or transport. When the airflow becomes less cool, it is usually a sign that the reservoir needs to be refilled. Remember to empty any stagnant water if you are not using the device for several days.
How do I power it?
CLIMACOOL is powered by a USB cable. You can plug it into a computer's USB port, a power bank, or a USB power adapter, like a phone charger. This flexibility allows you to use it in the office, a bedroom, on a patio, or even while traveling, as long as you have a USB source. For prolonged use, especially at night, prefer a wall adapter rather than a laptop running on battery to avoid draining the laptop.
How long does it run?
According to product information, CLIMACOOL can provide up to 8 hours of continuous freshness, which covers a full night or a long workday. This duration depends on the water level in the reservoir, the mode used, and ambient conditions: in very hot and dry weather, water evaporates faster. When the airflow loses its chill, simply refill the reservoir. Since the device is USB-powered, there is no internal battery to recharge.
Is it noisy?
CLIMACOOL features a silent mode, designed for nighttime use or in quiet environments like a shared office. In this mode, the fan runs more slowly and noise is reduced to let you sleep or concentrate while staying cool. Like any fan-based device, it produces a slight breeze, which is more noticeable in normal operation. Switching between standard and silent modes helps you find the right balance between cooling and sound discretion, depending on the time of day.
What is the mood light for?
The translucent side panels of CLIMACOOL can light up with a mood light. You can choose between 7 fixed colors or a random mode that cycles through shades. This feature is purely decorative: it turns the device into a small nightlight at night, in a child's room or on a nightstand, creating a soothing atmosphere. It accompanies the cooling process without affecting its efficiency. A detail that makes the device pleasant to look at, in addition to being useful.
How do I maintain it?
Empty the reservoir regularly and let it dry if the device is not used for several days: stagnant water can foster unpleasant odors. Use clean, fresh water whenever possible. Always unplug the device before handling or cleaning it, and wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Never immerse the device in water. The hydro-cooling filter must remain clean for optimal operation: check its condition from time to time and let it dry between seasons.
