Air Coolers for Large Spaces: How to Choose the Right Model

When the scorching summer heat kicks in, cooling a large room, office, banquet hall, or outdoor space becomes a real challenge. Fans won’t live up to your expectations, making air coolers the perfect alternative—they are energy-efficient, cost-effective, and provide fresh air circulation.
But how do you pick the right cooler for a large space? With so many options available, it’s crucial to consider various factors.
Here’s your ultimate buying guide to help you choose the best cooler that fits your needs and budget!
1. Understanding Air Delivery & Coverage Area
The air delivery rate (measured in m3/h) determines how effectively a cooler can cool a large space.
-
For mid-sized rooms (200-300 sq. ft.) → Look for 3000+ m3/h
-
For large halls (400-600 sq. ft.) → Go for 5000+ m3/h
-
For extra-large spaces (600+ sq. ft.) → Opt for 6000+ m3/h
Best Pick: Kenstar Maha Kool HC 90 – Offers 6000 m3/h air delivery, making it ideal for big halls and commercial spaces.
2. The Importance of Air Throw Distance
Air throw distance refers to how far the cool air can reach. For large rooms, you need a cooler with powerful fan to distribute cool air evenly.
-
For small rooms: 15-20 meters air throw
-
For large spaces: 20+ meters air throw
Top Choice: Kenstar Tallde HC 70 BLDC – Offers a 15.2m air throw, cooling even the farthest corners of the room.
3. Choosing the Right Tank Capacity
A large water tank means longer cooling without frequently refilling your cooler.
-
For mid-sized rooms: 60-70L tank
-
For large halls & offices: 70L+ tank
-
For extra-large spaces: 90L+ tank
Recommended Model: Kenstar Maha Kool HC 110T – Features a massive 110L tank for uninterrupted cooling.
4. Cooling Pads: Honeycomb vs. Wood Wool – Which One is Better?
Cooling pads play a crucial role in how efficiently your air cooler cools the room.
Honeycomb Pads: 50% better water retention and 30% more cooling, durable, and energy-efficient → Ideal for longer cooling durations.
Wood Wool Pads: Affordable, absorbs water faster, but needs frequent replacement → Best for instant cooling in dry climates.
Best Option: Kenstar Maha Kool HC 90 – Equipped with hydro-dense honeycomb pads for 30% more cooling efficiency.
5. Energy Consumption: Choosing an Energy-Efficient Cooler
Larger coolers tend to consume more power, but BLDC (Brushless Direct Current) technology offers high cooling performance while saving electricity.
Standard coolers: Consume 170-200W
BLDC coolers: Less power consumption (70% of regular consumption)
Best Energy Saver: Kenstar Tallde HC 105 BLDC – Uses only 145W and offers superior cooling with lower power bills.
6. Inverter Compatibility – No More Cooling Interruptions!
Frequent power cuts can be frustrating, especially in summer. Choosing an inverter-compatible cooler ensures continuous cooling even during power outages.
7. Additional Features That Matter!
Apart from cooling performance, consider these extra features in the coolers:
-
Castor Wheels: Easy mobility for moving the cooler around.
-
Ice Chamber: Adds extra cooling power for extreme heat.
-
Remote Control: Convenient operation from anywhere in the room.
-
Dust Filters: Prevents dust and allergens from entering the airflow.
