At lower temperatures the Chillmax will produce a slight net cooling effect. But if the air temperature is above about 30ºC (and 50%RH) – which isn’t excessively hot or humid to start with, though it is around the point where you would start thinking about cooling things down – it’ll actually make you feel warmer. And if it is already humid outside, you’ll feel hotter still. Chillmax Air turns cold water, via a special filter, into a finer mist of cool, refreshing air circulated by a fan with three speed settings. It humidifies while it cools your personal breathing space so you can stay cool and breathe moist, humid air wherever you need it.

No. Evaporative coolers are not influenced significantly by the temperature of the water used in them. The temperature of the air that comes out depends on the temperature (and humidity) of the air going in, and the science of evaporation. Only this evaporation results in the cooling effect observed. Chillmax Air uses a fan set within its sound-protective casing, and with three settings you can have the perfect amount of cool, moist air for whatever the weather throws at you

Chillmax Air Go isn’t a portable fan, it’s a portable air-con unit! With its evaporative cooling technology, Chillmax Air Go actually takes water and passes it through a filter that then, using the natural cooling effect of evaporation, sends out cool, humidified air! The term ‘humidity’ usually refers to the absolute humidity, which is amount of water in the air. However, the figure most people are referring to is the relative humidity. This is the amount of moisture in the air expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount it could hold at that temperature, hence the units %RH. It’s a complicated subject, but the important factor for us here is that when it is warm or hot, higher absolute humidity is uncomfortable because the amount of moisture in the air relative to the maximum possible is higher. Indeed, you may have seen weather forecasts where they give the actual temperature and the ‘feels like’ equivalent – that’s a reference to the ‘ Heat Index’, which takes into account the effect of the %RH. Here’s a graphical chart for that.

Then I powered up the Chillmax and moved the logger in front of it for the same period of time. This is what it recorded (the red line is where I moved it). So, the Chillmax definitely cools the air that passes through it. Let’s work on the assumption that it would be able to get the same 4ºC drop no matter what the ambient temperature was. If your room is 38ºC, pulling it down to 34ºC still means it’s bloody hot. And also note that the Chillmax is physically quite small, so the cooling is very localised – it won’t cool an entire room down, and you have to have it less than a metre from your face to feel anything. Someone found this article on the search term “jml chillmax air for pc cooling”. No. Blowing damp air into your PC would be dangerous, potentially expensive, and would only gain you 4ºC at best. The ambient humidity in the room where I did the test was about 44%RH. The Chillmax sent that up to over 70%RH. It is this elevation of the humidity of the cooled air which really brings into question whether the Chillmax is worth the investment.

Early in July 2019, I saw the Chillmax Air advertised on TV in one of those shouty JML ads. That same evening, I was shopping in Asda and saw it on display. I am an idiot for things like this, and bought it on impulse so I could test whether it worked or not. 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 These are the data for relative humidity recorded at the same time as the temperature measurement, above (the red line is where I moved the logger). The humidity went up dramatically – a jump of about 30%RH. 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.When the air outside is just as hot and dry as it is inside, you want to take your personal cooling with you. Chillmax Air Go is portable and rechargeable so you can charge up the fan, fill the water tank and away you go! Thanks to the sure-grip clamp you don’t even have to carry it. Just clamp it to your desk, table, the handle of a pram or buggy, take it in the car with you- wherever you want to go, you can have personal cool air at all times! Also has an LED nightlight Chillmax Go Fan is a little powerhouse of cooling technology. Designed to hold the maximum power in the smallest space, the clever engineering means you get a powerful, cooling performance with a fan you can hold in your hand. Thanks to the Lithium Ion technology that draws far more power than standard batteries and converts it into a level of energy that lets our smart, compact motor generate so much power you’ll feel like you’re stood in front of a full-sized wall or ceiling fan! Adjustable 360° smart-spin technology We recommend weekly cleaning of your Chillmax Air filter to maintain best working condition. Replace every 3-6 months. Chillmax Air gives you the best features of both fans and air conditioning in one, compact unit that's also a night light. Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioning units that cost the earth, make a lot of noise and use ozone-destroying chemical coolants to cool the air but leave it dry, Chillmax Air sprays a fine mist that is then sent through the special filter and so only uses evaporation and water to operate! Adjustable three-speed whisper-quiet fan The amount of water vapour that air can hold varies with the temperature. Cold air can’t hold much, but warmer air can. At any temperature, once you reach the maximum amount possible, any extra vapour condenses out as liquid water – misted up windows, dampness, even drips and pools of moisture on window sills or under lamp posts. In winter, the condensation point is reached very easily, which is why you get your windows all steamed up and everywhere is often damp, but in hotter weather it is more appropriate to think ‘sauna’ (which is why it gets ‘muggy’). This air moisture is what we call ‘humidity’.

The special, antimicrobial filter in Chillmax Air is designed to hold water without allowing the bacteria and mould that it contains to develop and grow, it's even dishwasher-safe so you can regularly clean it and use it time after time. The large capacity water reservoir, combined with the filter, means that Chillmax Air holds a lot of water, so you can rely on Chillmax Air to run for up to ten hours, that's a whole night's sleep, or an entire working day in a hot stuffy office, breathing in cool, humid air! Built-in LED mood and night light Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description. 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? Another example. If the air temperature is 35ºC, at 50%RH it will feel like 41ºC, but send the humidity up to 80%RH and it’ll feel like 57ºC – even though the thermometer still reads 35ºC. As an example, if the air temperature is 30ºC and 50%RH, it will feel like 31ºC, but if the humidity goes up to 80%RH, then it will feel like 38ºC – even though the thermometer still tells you it’s 30ºC.Chillmax Air gives you the best features of both fans and air conditioning in one, compact unit that’s also a night light.

More than just a fan, the JML Chillmax Air GO is a portable space cooler that’s primed to deliver cool air anywhere! This modern unit features three adjustable speeds and evaporative cooling technology; which takes water from the sealed tank, and passes it through a filter (that uses the natural cooling effect of evaporation) to push out cool, humidified air!
