As I’ve already explained, the Chillmax works by evaporating water on fibrous panels by forcing air across them. That water has got to go somewhere, and in this case it comes out with the cooled air as water vapour. In the right light, you can actually see it – it’s essentially fog, so the cooled air is also moistened. And just like when it’s foggy outside, and everywhere gets damp, this water vapour can condense on cooler surfaces. My data logger collected some and began to drip during the test, and I have since discovered that it also condenses on the front grille and can drip periodically, so you’d need to be careful what you had underneath it if you placed it on a shelf. The fan is quite powerful enough to project the drips forward slightly when they drop.When I first set it up and turned it on, the first thing I noticed was that the fan is quite powerful, so you get a good flow of air directed at you – but note that that it’s only a 5″ computer fan, so it can’t beat a proper desk fan for air flow. The air did seem a little cooler compared with what my desk fan was blowing at me, but it also felt ‘softer’ – that’s very important, and I’ll explain later. But the big question was how much cooler was the exhaust air? The calculation for this is complex (you should see how long my Excel formula for it is). It is non-linear, and the increase in ‘feels like’ is greater at higher temperatures. It also contains an element of opinion/perception, which is why there’s no point using numbers above about 60ºC. But the ‘Heat Index’ is what forecasters use. Incidentally, the official health designations for the colours are: yellow – caution; amber – extreme caution; orange – danger; and red – extreme danger. Vulnerable people need to take these into consideration before going out in hot weather. The HUGE difference between Chillmax Air Go and a fan is that a fan simply moves air around so the moving air you get is the same temperature as the room! Why push warm, dry air around when you can cool it down and humidify it first? Like a standard, bulky air-con unit, Chillmax Air Go actually takes the air in your room, or outside, and through evaporation, lowers its temperature. This way you get cooler air, but it’s also been humidified, so no more dry, burning sinuses when you’re trying to sleep. With Chillmax Air Go you’ll get measurably cooler air coming right into your personal space that isn’t dry! Portable design, just charge the fan and take it anywhere It does cool the air by a few degrees, so in that sense it works. However, it also sends the humidity up, and in most cases that actually makes you feel hotter and more uncomfortable. In that sense, it doesn’t work. However, this is where the problems come in for the Chillmax and similar devices. If it’s 35ºC and 40%RH, it’ll feel like 37ºC. Cool the air to 31ºC but send the humidity up to 80%RH, and it’ll feel like 41ºC. So it’s actually hotter in terms of comfort. Do the same comparison when the surrounding temperature is 38ºC, and the ‘feels like’ goes from 43ºC to over 50ºC!

Whether to the office, the bedroom or the beach- even in your hot car for those long road trips. With enough charge to hold for months, and enough power to give you up to six hours of personal cooling, you can rely on Chillmax Go Fan to keep you cool all day, wherever you go. Easy-To-Use Power dial the adjustability of the dial on your Chillmax Go Fan means you can have total control of the amount of cool air you create and how much energy you spend. Why have a fan on full blast, wasting unnecessary battery power, when you just need a nice ambient cool atmosphere around your desk. The easy-to-use dial lets you take control of your personal cooling space. Chillmax Go Fan.Tank Size: 5L. Run Time: 10 hours. Wattage 55W. Unit Weight: 6.2kg. Unit Dimensions: 29.5cm x 23cm x 85cm.

Chillmax Go Fan is a little powerhouse of cooling technology.

Whether to the office, the bedroom or the beach- even in your hot car for those long road trips. JML claims the Chillmax can run for up to 10 hours per fill, but this is likely on the lowest of the three fan speeds, since on top speed it runs out in less than three hours. JML sells the humidification as a positive without relating it to the comfort relationship between temperature and %RH, but note what I said above. If you want to cool down in humid weather, it isn’t just the temperature that needs to come down.
