How can you cool the room. Cooling the house (apartment) in the heat without air conditioning. We remove all unnecessary

This year, summer spoils us simply royally: heat, occasional thunderstorms and little rain. By the sea, such weather would be ideal, but the city is melting from extreme temperatures. We figure out how to use simple ways to turn an apartment into an oasis of coolness.

Summer this year was a success, pah-pah not to jinx it. Heat up to +35, rare thunderstorms. In general, the weather is almost resort, seaside. Only now there is no sea in the central strip of Russia, and the cool breeze does not blow over our bodies, exhausted by the heat. The dusty, gassed city is melting from high temperatures, and we are suffocating in dust and soot. One salvation is to hide at home, under a roof and behind thick walls. Wow, and here, it turns out, a real bath. Whatever you touch, everything gives off heat. Do you really have to sit out in a cool bath? No way - let's go invent a home air conditioner.

We began to collect folk ways to save an apartment from the summer heat just at the time when unbearable heat came to Ryazan. To begin with, all the carpets were removed. Walking barefoot on a bare floor is more pleasant than walking on a wool pile - you immediately feel cool. Well, at the same time, they got rid of a pile of vases, figurines, lace napkins and other cute nonsense that warms the soul so much in the cold season and incredibly quickly overgrown with dust in the summer, when all the windows are wide open. How painful it is to wash-wash all this every week - it's time to take a break.

Method one. In deep siege

My apartment is on a sunny side. In winter, we have wind and cold, and in summer - unbearable closeness. You also don’t really want to hang curtains from the sun on the windows, otherwise it will completely block the access of air to the apartment. But to isolate ourselves from the sun is quite in our power. I borrowed this method from the mother of one of my girlfriends - every summer, with the onset of heat, she seals the windows with foil and feels great. We didn’t have a lot of food foil, but it was enough for one room. Glue does not take foil, so we used tape. It is very inconvenient to work with foil - it is thin, slides on glass and constantly breaks, especially when children pull it against each other. Due to inexperience, we made a huge mistake - we glued part of the foil onto the glass. Traces of adhesive tape, alas, are not erased by anything. It is better, of course, to mount it on the frame.

When we finished, polar night fell in the room. How good it was for the first half an hour, when the sun finally stopped mercilessly roasting me from all sides, hitting the monitor and heating all objects within a radius of three meters from the window. Immediately pulled into sleep. But then one wanted to read, the other decided to collect puzzles on the floor. I had to turn on the light. And it's at noon. No, I am still firmly convinced that the deficit of sunlight accumulated over the winter must be replenished at all costs. And if you also live with artificial lighting in the summer, the body simply cannot stand it.

Method two. Carlson himself

Overboard +34. It's time to invent a home air conditioner according to the instructions of Aunt Sveta from the second entrance. During a conversation on a bench, a neighbor said that she had been fighting the heat in this way for the third year.

To build this device, we used the most sophisticated super-technological equipment: an old fan and three or four plastic bottles. Neighbors helped with empty bottles. We filled all the bottles with cold water and put them in the freezer. The car is a beast! After 40 minutes, I have four 1.5-liter ice cubes in my hands. Strictly following the recommendations of Aunt Sveta, I put the fan in the corner of the room and direct it in the direction opposite to the window. In front of him on a stand - all four frozen bottles.

At night, Aunt Sveta's development had to be slightly improved. First, I turned the fan away from the bed - it smelled of ice so much that I began to miss the quilt. Secondly, she placed a large tray under the bottles - thawed water flowed from them to the floor.

The third method or Chyort pobieri!

Don't even think! my mother protested when the children and I pulled out an old thick hose from the bowels of the pantry.

Calm down, grandma! Now we will make one little experiment, and we will return everything as it was, - the eldest son said authoritatively, putting one end of the hose on the kitchen faucet.

I discovered this method on a women's forum and, frankly, I did not believe in its effectiveness. Well, since we decided to try everything, then there is nowhere to go.

The protagonist of the experiment is a long hose, many have such in the country. But it is better, of course, to purchase another one - do not let it take its course (excuse the pun) by watering the summer cottage? We coped with the task quickly - we connected one end to the cold water tap in the kitchen, and dragged the other end around the apartment and threw it into the bath. Knowledgeable forum visitors promised that the circulation of cold water would create a comfortable temperature. I will say right away: in the afternoon it is better to immediately refuse this method of cooling. First, by shutting off the water, you actually paralyze the work in the kitchen. Secondly, the hose lying on the floor makes it very difficult to walk. All the household members stumbled over him, and more than once. With the words "damn it!", "I saw your experiment ..." and other free variations on this theme, someone now and then stretched on the floor. I had to stop the experiment early.

For two hours of operation of the ingenious air conditioner, the air temperature in the rooms that lay in the path of the hose decreased by 3 degrees. What can not be said about the indicators of another, no less significant measuring device - the water meter has fulfilled its weekly norm.

Method four. I'll freeze everyone!

No tricky devices - just a regular flower sprayer and cold water. The sprayer was found on the windowsill among numerous flower pots - I didn’t even think that we had so many flowers. You collect water to the eyeballs and puff around the perimeter of the room.

It took no more than two minutes to spray one room. But then for about half an hour there is a water curtain in the air. It's +35 outside, and the apartment is pleasantly cool. Beauty!

Needless to say, that the opportunity to “legally” splash water was received by the children with a bang? Of course, they swore that they would only puff into the air ... But after five minutes, with joyful squeals, they began to shoot each other.

And only grandmother walked around with a gloomy look all day. Well, firstly, solving a crossword puzzle (as, indeed, watching TV, relaxing ...) on a couch that does not dry out is not very pleasant. Secondly, in fairness, it must be said that not only the sofa was wet, but also the wallpaper, the wardrobe, the glass doors in the sideboard and all the clothes carelessly forgotten on the surface. It is good that the carpet was rolled up at the very beginning of the experiment.

There are only two downsides to this method. First - the procedure must be repeated every 40 minutes, and this - if you are not a housewife - is almost impossible. And the second - on average, about four liters of water are spent per day per room (at the rate of half a liter per room, about eight times a day from 10 am to 7 pm). For owners of water meters, a tangible increase in utility bills.

Method five. Bath for a cat

I'll tell you a secret, I spied this method on our cat Timofey. When the air temperature in the apartment becomes incompatible with the comfortable existence of the cat, he moves to the bathroom. He sits under the sink or in the bath itself and blissfully. And if cold water also flows from the tap, Timka's happiness knows no bounds. Why are we worse than cats? Let me get a full bath of ice water, I decided. But after all, you won’t sit next to the bathroom all day - you opened the door so that the coolness would flow through the rooms, and went to the store.

Did I feel like I was in a heavenly oasis when I returned? No. Moisture filled the air except perhaps in the hallway, where, in fact, the bathroom door went out. The temperature dropped from 28 to 25. The freshness did not reach the living room - the nearest room. In the kitchen, as before, there is a steam room - direct sunlight and pudding in the oven.

And only one member of our family seemed to be really well. Timothy, like an Antarctic penguin, floundered in the icy water, making blissful sounds. Well, now let him just try to protest the next time it's time to wash.

Well, let's summarize: with a waste of water from 200 to 400 liters (depending on the volume of the bath), we get a chilled bathroom and, at best, a corridor. So if you don’t have a cat and you didn’t plan to move to the bathroom for the summer, it’s better to look for another way.

Method six. hello neighbors

Another way to save water is probably the most harmless for owners of water meters. My labor costs were minimal: I filled a large bucket to the brim with cold water and put it by the bed for the night. When we went to bed, it was +24 in the room, after three hours, when I got up it was already 21. But I would not attribute this to my homemade air conditioner - after all, the temperature outside also dropped. But how good it is - without getting out of bed, put your hands in a bucket, moisten your face and neck with cold water. In general, some pluses. If not for one minus. When I woke up in the morning, I completely forgot about the bucket of water and ... for the next thirty minutes I crawled almost 10 liters of water from the floor.

Method seven. Ghost: wild but cute

This is the only method out of all of the above that I have used before. Humidified the air in the bedroom when the asthmatic child had an aggravation. The preparatory work took only ten minutes - there was not enough room for two sheets in the room. I replaced one with a large terry towel. She soaked both the sheet and the towel in cold water. The main thing here is to squeeze things out well, otherwise turn the room into a pond. True, it was not possible to hang them up right away - the boys immediately snatched them up and began to play ghosts. Well, they cooled down at the same time.

During the day, in the heat of the day, wet sheets were of little use - the temperature in the room did not drop at all, and breathing became only a little easier. But at night, when the children suffered from stuffiness and could not fall asleep, damp linens hung next to the beds really helped. The boys passed out in just five minutes.

Instead of an afterword

Well, we honestly tried all the ways. And how to escape from the heat, decide for yourself. But in any case, do not forget about a few simple rules that will help you keep cool in the apartment:

Ventilate the apartment, if possible, only during the day - in the morning and in the evening you risk letting in not only coolness, but also all the dirt from the street;

Do not dry clothes in the apartment or on the balcony;

Do not use a humidifier in hot weather.

And may the weather be good in your house!

TO THE POINT

According to nutritionists, you can cool off with the help of spicy dishes. Spices such as hot chili peppers increase blood circulation - you sweat and lose heat. Other foods that improve circulation include onions and garlic, dark chocolate, citrus fruits, olive oil, nuts and seeds.

ON A NOTE

My house is my bath?

The comfortable temperature in the house largely depends on the building material. Most of all, the inhabitants of brick houses were lucky. The brick has a large thermal inertia, that is, it gains heat rather slowly. But concrete, on the contrary, has low heat resistance. It warms up quickly, but does not give back heat. Therefore, if you do not take measures to cool such a dwelling, get a home steam room.

In new monolithic houses, summer is also not easy, here a modern house ventilation system comes to the aid of residents. True, she, too, can present an unpleasant surprise. For example, during extreme heat, it can begin to pull in the opposite direction, that is, at 23 degrees in the apartment and 38 on the street, hot air will be drawn into the house. According to the laws of nature, air moves from an area of ​​high pressure to an area of ​​low pressure.

Well, it's no secret to anyone what affects the atmosphere in the apartment and its size and orientation of the windows. It will be much cooler in a spacious apartment with high ceilings and windows turned to the east than in a cramped one-room apartment with low ceilings and windows to the south.

You can argue about the advantages and disadvantages of air conditioners for a long time, but climate technology appeared in everyday life only a couple of decades ago, and before that people also successfully fought indoor heat in other ways. It is quite possible to lower the temperature in an apartment or house in the summer without air conditioning. We will consider all effective options.

1. Close windows and vents during the day so that hot air does not enter your home. Ventilate the room in the evening and at night from 22-00 to 7-00.

2. If the windows are on the sunny side, close the curtains tightly during the day, close the blinds and shutters. It is desirable that the blinds are non-metallic, since the metal quickly heats up in the sun, raising the temperature in the apartment.

3. Minimize the use of a stove, kettle, iron, incandescent lamps and other appliances with a large heat dissipation.

4. Remove carpets from the walls and, if possible, from the floor, they accumulate heat.

5. Do wet cleaning 1-2 times a day (preferably in the morning and evening), it will be easier to breathe.

6. If the room is damp, hang wet sheets on the doors and windows, they will raise and lower the temperature in the house by a couple of degrees.

7. Apply reflective film to the windows to reflect the sun's rays. Instead of a film, even food foil attached to adhesive tape is suitable.

8. Keep the entrance doors to the entrance and the house (apartment) closed so that heated air does not enter the room.

9. Hang curtains on the balcony. Use a fabric that is not a pity, in the sun it will quickly burn out. If there are no suitable fabrics, cover the windows with plain paper or newspaper attached to tape.

10. Fill the tub with cold water and leave the door open.

11. If possible, create drafts in the house in the evening and at night to blow out the heated air.

12. In summer, install fans so that air hits the ceiling, in winter - vice versa.

13. Strengthen the action of the fan with plastic ice bottles. Fill the containers with saline solution (100 grams of salt per 1 liter of water),
close with corks, freeze, put in a bowl right in front of the fan. After the ice has melted, refreeze.

14. Sleeping in the heat is most comfortable on mattresses on the floor, since warm air rises, the worst place is the top bunk of the bed.

15. Wrap working heated towel rails with a thick cloth or foil so that hot air does not spread throughout the apartment.

16. If the garage is located on the outbuilding or on the first floor of the house, put the car there in the evening and only after it has cooled down.

Ways to lower the temperature for the future

17. Insulate the walls with thermal insulation materials, in the heat they cool the house by about 5 ° C compared to ordinary walls.

18. For the summer, install curtains made of white natural fabrics that reflect sunlight well and heat up less.

19. For effective cooling of the apartment, when buying new metal-plastic and PVC windows, order glass with reflective coating. This coating does not let air in or out, but remains invisible to the human eye.

20. Plant trees or shrubs weaving along the walls near the house, which will eventually create a shadow (not relevant for apartments above the 4th floor).

Summer heat in the absence of air conditioning can create considerable discomfort. To cool off and feel good without air conditioning, you can use various tricks using water, fans, light clothing, cool drinks and food, psychological tricks, and so on. You can also naturally cool the whole house, preventing heat from stagnating in it. With the right approach, you will successfully escape the heat while saving money on air conditioning.

Steps

Use of water for cooling

Drink more water. The body will be cooler if its water balance is in order. Try to drink about 230 ml of water every hour. Adding mint leaves or orange, lemon or cucumber slices to your water will make it more refreshing. You may also find it easier to drink water if it has a slight flavor.

Spray yourself with cool water. Fill a spray bottle with cool water and set it to a fine mist. For an immediate cooling effect, irrigate bare skin with a spray bottle.

Chill a damp handkerchief in the freezer and apply it to your neck, forehead, arms, or legs. Applying a cold cloth to your skin will help you fight the heat. When the fabric is warm, simply rinse it and put it back in the freezer.

• You can also apply an ice pack to the back of your head.

1. Pour cold water over your wrists. Soak your wrists and other areas of the body with large blood vessels under the skin, such as the neck, inner crooks of the elbows and knees, in cold water for about 10 seconds. This will lower your body temperature slightly.

   Wet your head. Wet hair helps to cool the body, so try this step for an instant cool down. You can wet both the whole head and just the hairline. Evaporation of water will cool the head (however, it can make previously styled hair curl if it is naturally curly).

   • Put a water-soaked bandana on your head and walk around in it.

2. Fill the tub with cool water and soak in it. Once you get used to the water temperature, turn the water off a bit and add more cold water. Keep doing this until you're cool enough. When you get out of the bath, your body will remain cool for a long time.

   • If you want, you can take a cool shower instead of a bath.
   • You can also put your feet in a bucket of cold water. The body mainly radiates heat from the hands, feet, face and ears, so cooling any of these places will effectively cool the whole body. Shallow children's pools are also good for cooling the feet of adults.

3. Go for a swim. Visit the swimming pool, go to the river, lake or sea and unwind. Immersion in water will cool you down in an incredible way. When outdoors, be sure to use sunscreen to prevent sunburn, which can further heat up your body.

Home cooling

Close curtains or curtains on windows. Closed during the day, curtains and curtains will help block the sun's rays. As soon as the sun begins to warm the building in the morning, curtain all windows and keep them and the front door locked during the hottest part of the day. With the onset of night, when the street becomes cool enough, the windows can be opened.

• If your windows have blinds, tilt them so that when you look through them, you can see the ground, not the sky.
• For even more sun protection, use cellular shading or solar control film, which, similar to car tinting, will make the window glass darker or more reflective.

1. Open windows at night. Open strategic windows to let cool evening air in all night. It also does not hurt to open all the internal doors in the room (including the doors of cabinets and kitchen sets). If you leave them closed, they will retain the heat of the day and your house will not be able to cool down quickly enough in the evening.

   • Be sure to get up early in the morning to close all windows and curtains when the sun starts to heat up the house. In some regions, this will need to be done as early as 5-6 in the morning.

2. Cool your home with fans. If you have a two-story house or apartment, install stationary ceiling window and attic fans in such a way that they expel the heated air accumulated in the upper rooms. Install a portable fan so that it captures cooler air from the floor and pushes the heated air even higher towards the ceiling.

   • To create good air circulation, use a whole combination of fans. Drive hot air outside by installing a powerful exhaust fan next to one window, and ordinary fans near other windows that will blow in fresh cooler air.
   • You can also turn on the hood above the stove or open the chimney damper from the fireplace or stove. They will also help draw warm air out of the house and fill it with cooler evening air.

3. Make a homemade air conditioner. Place a metal bowl of salt ice in front of the fan and set the fan to blow on the ice. Or take one or more two-liter plastic bottles and fill them with about 70% water and 10% salt. Leave 20% empty for water expansion when frozen. Freeze the solution in the bottles, and then put them in a basin (to collect dripping condensate. Set the fan to blow on the bottles. As the salt ice in the bottles thaws, the air around them will begin to cool, and the fan will blow this air on you.

   • Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which makes ice very cold.
   • Salt water can be frozen every night and used regularly during the day.

4. Turn off all heat sources. Do not use the stove or oven for cooking. Turn off lights and computers when you don't need them. It still does not hurt to turn off the TV (as it generates a lot of heat), as well as unplug the network adapters of not the most important electrical appliances from the sockets.

   • Incandescent light bulbs also generate heat. Switch to compact fluorescent or LED bulbs.

5. Make the cool air rise up. If you have a basement and a central ventilation system in your home, hire professional ventilation installers to add cold air intake from the basement to your ventilation system, which will circulate the natural coolness present there to the rest of the house when you simply turn on the hood over the stove.

   • Organize an individual ventilation system in the room with the possibility of taking in fresh cool air, extracting hot air, as well as controlling temperature and humidity. So at night you will receive cool fresh air, and in the middle of the day the air conditioner can keep cool.

6. Set the ceiling fans to rotate counterclockwise. This will help draw hot air up to the ceiling and create a cool breeze in the rooms at the same time. To enhance the cooling effect, turn the fans on at a higher speed.

   Install a house fan. It will drive hot air towards the attic, where it will be blown out through the attic vents. To cool the house, open the door to the basement, make sure that all other internal doors between the basement and the room containing the fan are also open. Turn on the fan at night, while opening the windows of the lower floor, so that it can effectively cool the house. However, be sure to make sure the attic vents are working properly beforehand, otherwise the attic may not be able to handle the heat dissipation.

   • If you don't have attic vents, make them. You can’t even imagine how amazingly a cool attic affects the temperature of the whole house.

Fighting the heat

1. Avoid peak heat hours. Try not to go outside between 10:00 and 15:00, when the sun's rays are at their strongest. This way you avoid sunburn. Try running or exercising outdoors in the early morning or late evening. Usually early mornings and evenings are cool enough for you to enjoy walking, running, hiking, biking, gardening or yard work.

   Wear summer clothes made from natural fabrics. Wear low-density natural fabrics (cotton, silk, linen) rather than polyester, synthetic viscose and other synthetic fabrics (with the possible exception of specially designed breathable sports fabrics).

   • Choose light-colored clothes. Dark-colored clothing absorbs heat better from the sun and stays warm longer than light-colored or white clothing, which reflects light and heat better.

2. Walk barefoot. Take off your shoes and socks, especially on days when the humidity is extremely high. Wearing boots with socks in these conditions will make your feet sweat, generally raising your body temperature. Try to walk barefoot as often as possible (if possible).

   Fill your freezer with frozen fruit treats. Use ice cream sticks (you can find them in the supermarket) or just grab a bag of frozen fruit wedges like watermelon, pineapple, or lemon. Refrigeration can be delicious!

   Take advantage of mint. Mint refreshes the skin and leaves a feeling of pleasant coolness. Smear on mint lotion (avoid your face and eyes), shower with mint soap, do a mint foot bath, or soak with other mint-infused powders. In addition, there are some delicious mint recipes that you can also try:

   • smoothies made from watermelon yogurt and mint;
   • Irish chocolate drink with cream and mint;
   • mint truffles.

3. Use silk or satin pillowcases and sheets. Sleek sheets help keep you cool, so switching to silk or satin can give you more comfort. Breathable cotton sheets are better than flannel sheets, which are best left out in the summer. Silk, satin and cotton have a smoother texture and will help you feel cool while you sleep.

• Do not leave a running fan unattended in a closed room. The fan does not cool the air present in the room and even heats it up. The fan motor generates heat, and some heat is also generated by the friction of the circulating air. When the fan is running, you feel cool due to the increased evaporation of moisture from the surface of the skin, which cools your body, but only when you yourself are in a room with a fan. Save electricity and turn off all fans that are in unoccupied closed rooms.
• During peak heat, the municipalities of some cities organize "cooling centers" with working air conditioners, which can be visited by anyone. If you don't have air conditioning in your home (and especially if you're old or have a medical condition), call your city's help desk to find out if cooling centers are available.
• If you have a garage at the base of your house under the living quarters, leave your warmed up car outside to cool it down before putting it in the garage.

Summer time of the year is not always associated with positive. Warm weather can easily turn into a tiring heat, in which being in the house becomes unbearable both day and night. Not only the direct rays of the sun are to blame for this, but also the high temperature outside, as well as the lack of wind.

There are many ways to deal with heat in the house, among which air conditioning is in the first place. However, what if there is no air conditioner or split system at home? How to cool a room in the heat without air conditioning? There are several answers to this question, and we will try to cover them all.

7 ways to cool a room in the heat without air conditioning

We have long been accustomed to enjoy the benefits of civilization, not thinking about the fact that once there were no technological achievements that were useful to us. The question arises, how did our ancestors cope with this or that problem? For example, how did you cool the room in the heat without air conditioning? And they did it quite easily. A few very simple ways, such as ventilation, creating a humidifier, draft, etc., which do not require special expenses, we will consider below.

1. We close the curtains

The reason for heating the air in the room is the penetration of direct sunlight. To avoid this, it is recommended to close the windows tightly during the daytime. It is preferable to have light-colored curtains made of natural material, such as linen.

Dark curtains will absorb heat and spread it around the room, acting like a stove. If you can’t change them, try reflecting the sun’s rays. For this purpose, foil is suitable, which can be attached to the window with ordinary or double-sided tape. You can also use window tinting, which will reliably protect the room from sunlight.

1. Getting rid of dust

The next step is to get rid of the so-called "dust collectors", which also attract and retain heat for a long time. Among them, carpets and rugs are in the first place. To make the air cleaner and cooler. This type of wall and floor covering needs to be rolled up and removed before the colder period. You also need to do with warm blankets and bedspreads. As for upholstered furniture, which can also be classified as "dust collectors", it can be covered with a white sheet, or other light, light and natural piece of fabric. In the evening, after such manipulations, your favorite sofa or chair will seem cool.

1. Save electricity

A gas burner, light bulbs, a TV screen, a computer monitor and a system unit, all this can heat the air in a room by several degrees. Therefore, in hot weather, it is recommended to refuse to turn on this type of electrical appliances. If you are very bored, you can read a book, or change your computer to a gadget with less heat dissipation, such as a tablet or phone.

1. Airing

Ventilation in the room will allow you to breathe more freely. However, this is best done at night. Sleeping with an open window or window will be much more comfortable. During the day, all the vents and windows must be tightly closed, except for hot air, such ventilation will not bring you anything.

1. Moisturizing

Humidification will help to cope with dry hot air in the room. The easiest way to humidify the air is daily wet cleaning. However, its action is enough for a couple of hours, and a lot of energy is expended. Therefore, we bring to your attention a few more ideas.

You can humidify the air in the apartment by hanging wet rags on cabinets and chairs. Until they have time to dry, the air will remain moist and cooler. Any sprinkler will also come in handy. After collecting water in it, spray the curtains. If you drop aromatic oils into the water, then in addition to moisture, the air will be filled with your favorite aroma.

Filling the bathtub with cold water and leaving the door open will also help humidify the apartment. Moreover, such a humidifier does not need to be monitored especially.

There is another way by which you can also provide long-term hydration. To do this, hang a cotton sheet in the room, and lower the lower ends of its ends into a bowl of cold water. Gradually getting wet, the sheet will give moisture to the air, and for a long time will remain wet.

Important! With air humidification, you must be extremely careful, the main thing in this matter is not to overdo it. Otherwise, the apartment may turn into a bathhouse, and mold will appear on the walls.

1. Draft

Creating a draft will increase the speed and quality of ventilation at times. However, you should not forget that it is better to arrange a draft at night or in the morning, when the sun has not yet had time to warm the air. To make the draft more effective, it is best to open the windows in the rooms located on different sides of the house.

Be careful, even in very hot weather it is possible to catch a cold in a draft.

1. Fan

Using a fan even in the middle of the day can greatly facilitate the ventilation of the room. To increase the effect, place the device as close to the floor as possible.

In addition, with a little ingenuity, a fan can help cool and humidify the air more productively. To do this, place mugs or any other dishes filled with cold water and ice in front of the fan, or by directing a stream of air from the appliance through a damp sheet. Almost immediately you will notice how much easier it is to breathe in the room, and the long-awaited coolness spreads throughout the house.

If you have another fan in stock, then you can arrange a draft even in the daytime. To do this, install one of the devices, directing a stream of air through the window, and transfer the other to the next room, while the air stream should be directed into the house. Thus, you contributed to the emergence of an artificial draft. Chasing even hot air around the apartment, but at high speed, such a draft can significantly facilitate existence in the heat.

As you can see, there are many different ways to cool a room in the heat without air conditioning. You can easily choose the most suitable one and survive the hot summer without much effort and inconvenience. Humidifying and airing the room, be careful, everything should be in moderation.

During the hot periods of the year it is very difficult to find a way to hide from the intrusive heat. Unfortunately, not all apartments are well ventilated, and split systems are not installed everywhere. That is why the question of how to cool a room without air conditioning is becoming more and more relevant every day.

If such a vital device is not available in an apartment, house or office, there are several dozen ways to achieve the long-awaited coolness in a different way.

Method 1

One of the most effective and proven methods is water. This liquid will not only lead to cooling, but also send the necessary amount of electrolytes into the body, and will also help to ensure that such important minerals for the functioning of the body are not removed from it by sweating. Do not be under the illusion that ice will help cool the room in the heat faster than water. This is wrong. It will complicate the work of the body, knocking down the established temperature balance - accordingly, its use will not lead to any positive result.

Method 2

The only acceptable way to use ice for cooling is to wrap a small cube of it in a towel and apply it to the wrist area. In this way, the thermal characteristics of the human body can be significantly reduced for 60 minutes.

Method 3

Another option to avoid temperature stress is to reduce the degree of intensity of movement. In the heat, cool the air in the room will help inactive pastime.

Method 4

A great way to refresh yourself is mint. Cubes are suitable, with which it is worth wiping the face, as well as tea.

Method 5

An effective cooling technique that all athletes use is to soak a towel in cold water and place it on the back of the neck for a few minutes.

Method 6

Sometimes ventilation for cooling a room consists only in opening a window to the street and letting in fresh and cool air from there, the movement of which will significantly reduce the thermal performance in an apartment or office.

Method 7

1. take a cool shower;
2. rinse hair every half hour;
3. wet your clothes and put them on.

Method 8

Everyone knows that any working household appliances emit a large amount of thermal energy - that is why, in order to minimize the temperature in the room, it is enough to turn off those that you are not currently using.

Method 9

Before going to bed, you should definitely open windows and doors so that the apartment or room is ventilated. This is a kind of artificial ventilation that will help refresh your living or working space and prevent excessive accumulation of excessively warm air masses in it.

Method 10

Another answer to the burning question of how to cool a room without an air conditioner is to make one yourself. For this purpose, it is enough to place a small plastic bottle filled with cold water in front of the household fan, after which the purposeful air flow blown out by the device will become much cooler.

Efficient and proven products for air conditioning

Sometimes the solution to the problem "lies on the surface", but the desire of people to find something new and creative does not allow them to notice the simplest way out of the situation in time. Therefore, we will consider several obvious ways that will easily help to cool a server room without an air conditioner. These include the following mechanisms:

simple physics

The easiest way is to organize a simple draft. So, by opening windows opposite each other, you can make a powerful flow of air, the movement of which will lead to the fact that the room will become much cooler. If all the windows are located on one side, then such a household device as a fan will help. Depending on how low you set it, the faster the cool lower layers of air masses will rise up. If you place large containers filled with cool water or ice cubes in front of the device, the cooling effect will be much more significant.

A perfectly applicable method to freshen the air is to cover all windows and doors with cool wet sheets. When water evaporates, it has a cooling effect on the room. It is important to remember that excessive humidity will give a different result - thermal performance will increase.

There is another option from the “school physics” category: it is worth placing two ventilation devices so that the blades of one go outside the apartment, and the other is located inside. Thus, it is possible to create an additional artificial ventilation system with a significant air flow velocity.

Conclusion

In the modern world, no one can imagine how you can survive the hot season without air conditioning. Overestimated thermal characteristics have a negative impact on performance, affect health and well-being, affect metabolism. All this significantly complicates our life.

Unfortunately, the installation of household air conditioners, for one reason or another, is not yet available to everyone. That is why we have to look for acceptable alternatives for how to cool any room without using this device. There are quite a few such methods - from the usual fan combined with wet sheets and bottles, as well as ice cubes, to artificial air conditioning by taking air from the basement.

At the same time, experts strongly recommend that during the hot periods of the year, exercise reduced physical activity, as well as eat light foods - better fiber and some animal protein. All these methods will help to survive the hot period of the year, which is difficult from the point of view of health and general well-being.

If you don’t have the opportunity to install a household home air conditioner yet, don’t despair: there are always many options available for replacing it with what to cool the room.
