The heat of summer and the coolness of cooler weather
The effect of summer is being felt everywhere in India. As temperatures continue to rise, people are looking for new and affordable solutions to keep cool water in their homes. To get relief from this heat, a video is becoming increasingly popular on social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.
Matka hack goes viral on social media
A trick called ‘Viral Matka Hack for Cooler’ is spreading rapidly on social media. People are seen keeping a small earthen pot or vessel in the water tank of their cooler. The influencers who made the video claim that with this simple trick the cooler will give cool air like an air conditioner. Does an earthen pot really make the water in the cooler cooler? Let us know.
Why use pot in cooler?
In the summer season, most of the people like cold water from the pot. Earlier it was prevalent only in villages, but now even in urban areas people are preferring pot water instead of fridge, because it cools the water naturally.
Science of coolness of pot
There are small invisible holes in the soil of the pot. These pores transport water to the outside surface, where it comes in contact with air and evaporates. This process is called evaporation, due to which the water inside the pot remains cool. Understanding this principle, people have come up with the idea of keeping the pot in the cooler tank, so that the water can be further cooled.
Does cooling improve?
Experts say that this jugaad can be effective to some extent and can increase some coolness in the water, but it will not bring any major change in the cooling. The cool air coming from the cooler depends on the air flow in the room and the speed of evaporation of water.
risk of cooler damage
Under the influence of viral videos on social media, if someone keeps a big pot in the tank, it can disrupt the natural flow of water. This can cause excess pressure on the pump, which can cause premature pump failure.
risk of disease and dirt
If an earthen pot remains in the dirty water of the cooler for a long time and is not cleaned, dirt and harmful bacteria can grow in it. These contaminated particles can spread into the room with the cooler air, causing health problems.
Ways to increase cooling of cooler
Some tips to increase the cooling of the cooler:
Proper ventilation of the room: For better efficiency of the cooler, it is necessary to have air flow in the room.
Cleaning cooler pads: Clean the pads regularly so that air flow is not obstructed.
Clean Water: Always keep clean water in the cooler tank.
Uses of Ice: Add ice cubes to cooler water in summer.
