Evaporative cooling device

An evaporative stand-alone cooling device comprising a housing having a multiple of open vertical sides including wettable evaporative pads placed in each of said (openings of said) open vertical sides, means for delivering water to each top of said evaporative pads to flow downwardly through said pads by gravity, a sump located at the bottom of said housing to collect excess water therein from said evaporative pads, a pump placed in said sump being the said means for delivering water to the top of each of said pads and a float located in said sump to detect a minimum level of water in said sump to stop said pump, said housing further includes a centrifugal blower being driven by an electric motor, said blower being mounted in said housing so as to create a positive pressure of vertically flowing air while at the same time creating a negative pressure of laterally flowing air through said evaporative pads, said housing further includes a cover at its top having an opening to accommodate said vertically flowing air and a rotatable spout being placed over said opening to direct air in multiple directions, wherein each of said evaporative pads is of a sandwich construction consisting of said evaporative pad being placed innermost in each of said open vertical sides, an air filter being placed next to and outwardly of said evaporative pad and a plastic honeycomb grid being placed most outwardly in said open vertical sides to protect the air filter and said evaporative pad from damage and to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the housing.
