I am seeing lots of Air Coolers advertisements for many years. Many outlets are also selling them without giving an important reason. They're actually hiding those for their sales.
Air Coolers are humidifiers technically. They induce humidity in dry areas like those places in interior like Salem, Vellore, Nagpur, Delhi etc. Where room AC won't help while a central AC can help. Interior areas have very less humidity, so they’ll feel hot. When we induce humidity, we feel a cooling effect as humidity goes up.
Whereas in coastal areas, air conditioners will help and work as they dehumidify the air. Because the coastal areas have lots of humidity, it needs to be reduced. When reduced, we feel a cooling effect as AC will also suck moisture on your skin.
While a central AC is a different animal. It is a hybrid of Air cooler and an air-conditioner.
One thing, if you have low or high blood pressure, have cardiac issues, please be careful when you come out of an AC room. Temperature difference between inside and outside during peak summer will be drastic. It will take time for your body to adjust. That gap may kill you as changes/ shift will be sudden & extreme and body will try to adjust by trying to rush blood on emergency to skin and brain. But it can't do that instantly. So heart is put onto maximum strain and it may lead to cardiac arrest or even a brain stroke.
In 2000/2001 I experienced that physically. I was shopping in Spencer's. Mall was 22° C and immediate outside temperature was 43° C. A difference of almost 21° C, my body struggled to adjust and I was about to get knocked down unconscious.
Especially people with comorbidities, aged should be careful in an air-conditioned environment. Same effect may be felt in reverse during winters.
The Air Conditioners maintain an ambient temperature of 20 to 24° C. During winters, many areas experience colder temperatures, the room temperature will be pretty warm and outside temperature will be cold. This difference in temperature may also induce similar health issues I marked above.
In French the Air Conditioner is called CLIMATISEUR & for Air Coolers REFROIDISSEUR D’AIR which says their original intended usage and purpose.
