OVERVIEW

Dealing with Hot, Uncomfortable Work Zones? This 24 Inch Portable Evaporative Cooler Creates Powerful Cooling That Keeps Teams Comfortable and Focused

When heat builds up in a warehouse, factory, or open shop, it rarely affects the entire building the same way. It gathers in specific areas — loading docks, production lines, welding bays, and stations where people spend hours on their feet. A portable evaporative cooler like the M-802 from Bud's Equipment is designed to cool those spaces directly, without the cost or complexity of upgrading a full HVAC system.

With a 24-inch fan and a powerful 10,600 CFM output, this unit creates a large, noticeable cooling zone rather than a small personal breeze. In open, high-bay environments, that level of airflow can cover roughly 2,000 to 2,500 square feet, helping reduce heat buildup where it matters most. It’s a practical way to bring relief to work areas that tend to get uncomfortable during peak summer conditions.

Warehouses and industrial spaces often struggle with hot spots — areas near dock doors, packing stations, battery charging zones, or fabrication areas where heat lingers. Instead of trying to cool an entire building, this evaporative cooler lets you focus on the people and processes that need it most. Roll it into position, aim the airflow across the work zone, and create immediate improvement in comfort.

There’s also a clear operational benefit. Traditional air conditioning systems can be expensive to install and costly to run, especially in large, open structures where doors stay open and insulation is limited. A portable evaporative cooler uses a fan, water, and outside air to produce cooling with far less energy demand. The result is lower operating cost paired with strong airflow and steady temperature relief.

The 24-inch size strikes a smart balance between output and mobility. It’s large enough to push air across an aisle, a row of workstations, or a loading line, yet compact enough to move through doorways and around equipment. As layouts shift or seasons change, the unit can move with you, supporting different areas as cooling needs evolve.

Beyond comfort, consistent air movement helps reduce heat stress and supports safer working conditions. The steady flow of fresh air moving through the cooling media also helps circulate and refresh indoor air, which can make a noticeable difference in busy industrial environments.

From warehouses and factories to repair shops and service bays, the M-802 provides a flexible, efficient way to cool active work areas. It’s a simple, practical solution for creating cooler zones exactly where they’re needed — without committing to permanent changes or high energy costs.

FEATURES

• High-Volume Cooling for Large Work Zones (Up to ~2,500 sq ft)
  With a powerful 10,600 CFM output, this 24 inch unit is built to cool real work zones — not just personal space. It can create a comfortable cooling effect across large areas like loading docks, production lines, warehouse aisles, and open shop floors where heat tends to collect.
  
  
• Stepless Speed Control for the Right Airflow, Every Time
  The inverter-driven, direct-drive fan gives you smooth, precise control over airflow. You can easily adjust the speed to match the space — from steady background cooling to strong air movement that pushes relief deep into hot zones.
  
  
• Energy-Efficient Cooling Without a Compressor
  This evaporative cooler runs on water and airflow rather than refrigeration, which means far lower energy use than traditional AC. Just add water to reduce temperatures and improve comfort in large, open environments where full mechanical cooling isn’t practical.
  
  
• Built-In Ice Port for Extra Cooling on Peak Heat Days
  When temperatures spike, you can add ice directly to the tank to boost the cooling effect. It’s a simple, effective way to get stronger relief during the hottest parts of the day without changing your setup.
  
  
• Simple Maintenance with Long-Lasting Cooling Performance
  Designed for everyday use, the tank can be drained and refreshed about twice a week to keep performance consistent. The internal media is built for longevity, with pads often lasting 3–5 years before replacement is needed.
  
  
• Cools While Filtering Dust and Improving Air Movement
  As air moves through the system, it passes through wet media that helps reduce dust while delivering cooler, fresher airflow. With no mist output and strong circulation, it performs well in dusty, humid, and high-traffic industrial environments.
