Scorching summers can turn stalls and riding arenas into furnaces, causing stress and fatigue in horses. OberA offers functional mobile industrial evaporative coolers for stables, which circulate fresh, healthy air through water evaporation.
This natural process (adiabatic cooling) quickly lowers the ambient temperature without chemicals or refrigerant gases. OberA coolers are silent and energy-efficient, providing immediate comfort in stalls, tack rooms, or riding arenas.
Thanks to their wheels, they can be easily moved to cool any equestrian space in no time.
The evaporative air coolers from the IC range, designed by OberA, offer a solution perfectly suited to equestrian environments: silent, mobile, economical, and above all, safe for animals.
- Rapid thermal relief: lowers temperature and reduces physical stress for horses.
- Natural cooling: evaporation principle, without air conditioning or mechanical refrigeration.
- Mobile and ready-to-use device: no installation work, you place it where needed (stall, tack room, covered paddock).
- Silent operation: no excessive noise, ensuring the tranquility of horses and riders.
- Economical and ecological: consumes up to 80% less energy than a conventional air conditioner.
Each OberA cooler operates with a simple electrical outlet. Just fill the water tank; our models have a large tank volume (70 to 100 L) so that the device immediately diffuses a significantly cooler airflow.
The cooler captures heat and releases fresh air without projecting droplets, ensuring optimal comfort for horses and staff.
Sommaire
How does it work? The adiabatic principle (by evaporation)
OberA’s IC units are based on a principle similar to the coolness of a wet lighter: water from the tank is pumped onto a honeycomb filter, humidifying the medium.
The fan draws hot air from the stable through this wet panel.
As it passes through the panel, the water partially evaporates and absorbs heat, thus cooling the blown air. The result is a noticeable and instantaneous temperature drop.
This process, used for centuries, is simple, efficient, and ecological. It requires only a small amount of water and 230 V to operate, and does not generate expensive refrigerant residue to maintain.
With this system, the diffused air remains healthy and refreshing: the absence of projection and cold gases protects horses from respiratory irritations or thermal shock. The multi-position fan and sweep function distribute air evenly throughout the volume.
Furthermore, IC models can optionally be equipped with ionization and UV sterilization (mod. IC 22) to eliminate bacteria, mold, and fine particles (hay dust, pollen) contained in the air. These optional filters improve the air quality in stables by removing allergens related to feed (hay, straw) and stagnant humidity.
OberA IC Range compatible with stables
OberA offers an IC range specifically adapted for stables and equestrian centers. Each model is designed for a particular use depending on the size of the premises and the number of horses. Below is a quick comparison of the three main models:
IC 12
- Ideal for tack rooms, isolated stalls, grooming areas, or small barns
- Airflow: 12,000 m³/h
- Easy to position, lightweight, mobile, and discreet
IC 22
- For covered riding arenas, breeding facilities, competition barns
- Airflow: 22,000 m³/h
- Large water tank, integrated UV sterilization for hygiene
IC 30
- For large equestrian buildings, reception or competition areas
- Airflow: 30,000 m³/h
- Ideal solution for large spaces without fixed installation
These coolers can operate as soon as it gets hot. They are available for purchase or rental for one-off events (competitions, training courses).
Benefits for Horses and Staff
- Enhanced equine well-being: by lowering the temperature, the cooler helps horses avoid heatstroke and exhaustion. They remain calm and perform better during training sessions.
- Staff comfort: cooler, less dusty air improves air quality for grooms and riders, reducing fatigue and allergy risks.
- Silent: our advanced brushless motors produce very little noise even at full power, preserving the calm of the stable and not stressing the animals.
- Installation without work: no installation work is necessary. The device is delivered ready for use, with a power cable and, for some models, its continuous filling hose. It plugs into a standard outlet.
- Energy saving: OberA coolers consume very little (a few watts per m³/h) and utilize solar energy (heat) for free. They consume up to 80% less than an equivalent air conditioner, guaranteeing you reduced-cost cooling.
Beyond cooling, these devices can improve the overall sanitary conditions of the stable. By preventing stagnant air and filtering fine particles, they reduce the proliferation of flies and microorganisms linked to humidity and hay dust. The integrated UV sterilization of the IC 22 model also ensures clean water, securing the horses’ environment during the summer.
Usage Tips
- Fill the tank with clean water (ideally filtered or non-calcareous) before each use. Regularly check the level for optimal and automatic operation.
- Position the device on the ground facing the opening of the stall or tack room. Place the cooler so that the fresh air naturally flows through the tailgate or entrance, allowing hot air to rise and be renewed.
- Combine with light ventilation: if possible, slightly open windows or doors to allow hot air to escape. Evaporation will be more effective on dry, warm air.
- Regular cleaning: at the end of the season, empty and rinse the tank. Clean the humidifier panel if necessary. This preserves the device’s lifespan and efficiency.
- Opt for seasonal use: we recommend using the cooler only during heatwave periods. In cool or humid weather, deactivate the machine to avoid excessive condensation.
