Abstract
The invention is directed to an evaporative cooling device including a stand-alone housing that is not connected to any structure. The housing is multi-sided and evaporative pads are placed inside the opening of each of the multi-sides. An electric centrifugal blower is placed inside the housing to draw air through all of the evaporative pads and the to discharge the same in a vertical direction through an opening in a top cover. The top cover has a directional spout placed over the opening to direct air in multi-adjusted directions. The cooling device is intended to be used in wide open playing or open fields or in open sided warehouses or work stations. A smaller size is intended to be used in semi-confined areas such as verandas, patios, lanais, porches etc. A flexible air duct can be attached to the spout so a to temporarily deliver cooled air to a confined spaces such as attics in a house.
