Abstract
A media pad apparatus for a portable air cooler includes a frame having a top end and a media pad disposed within the frame. A top tray is provided on the top end of the frame and includes opposed walls, the opposed walls sloping downwardly from upper edges thereof to join at a common lower edge and create a generally V-shaped profile of the top tray. The top tray further includes a plurality of openings in the opposed walls spaced along a length of the top tray, wherein when fluid is provided to the top tray, the openings dispense the fluid through the top tray along the length thereof to wet the media pad in a spatially distributed manner. A portable air cooler with a media pad apparatus removably received therein is also disclosed.
