OberA offers functional <strong>mobile industrial evaporative coolers<\/strong> for stables, which circulate fresh, healthy air through water evaporation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This natural process (adiabatic cooling) <strong>quickly lowers the ambient temperature<\/strong> without chemicals or refrigerant gases. OberA coolers are <strong>silent<\/strong> and energy-efficient, providing immediate comfort in stalls, tack rooms, or riding arenas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to their wheels, they can be easily moved to cool <strong>any equestrian space<\/strong> in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/obera.fr\/en\/produits\/rafraichisseurs-air\/rafraichisseurs-par-evaporation-ic\/\">evaporative air coolers from the IC range<\/a>, designed by <strong>OberA<\/strong>, offer a solution perfectly suited to equestrian environments: silent, mobile, economical, and above all, safe for animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rapid thermal relief<\/strong>: lowers temperature and reduces physical stress for horses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Natural cooling<\/strong>: evaporation principle, without air conditioning or mechanical refrigeration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mobile and ready-to-use device<\/strong>: no installation work, you place it where needed (stall, tack room, covered paddock).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Silent operation<\/strong>: no excessive noise, ensuring the tranquility of horses and riders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Economical and ecological<\/strong>: consumes up to 80% less energy than a conventional air conditioner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cooler captures heat and releases fresh air without projecting droplets, ensuring optimal comfort for horses and staff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/obera.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/raf-milieu-equestre-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Equestrian environment cooling\" class=\"wp-image-128475\" style=\"width:252px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/obera.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/raf-milieu-equestre-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/obera.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/raf-milieu-equestre-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/obera.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/raf-milieu-equestre-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/obera.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/raf-milieu-equestre-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/obera.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/raf-milieu-equestre.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does it work? The adiabatic principle (by evaporation) <\/h2>\n\n<p>OberA&#8217;s IC units are based on a principle <strong>similar to the coolness of a wet lighter<\/strong>: water from the tank is pumped onto a honeycomb filter, humidifying the medium.<\/p>\n\n<p>The fan draws hot air from the stable through this wet panel.<\/p>\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n<p>This process, used for centuries, is <strong>simple, efficient, and ecological<\/strong>. It requires only a small amount of water and 230 V to operate, and does not generate expensive refrigerant residue to maintain. <\/p>\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, IC models can optionally be equipped with ionization and UV sterilization (mod. IC 22) to <strong>eliminate bacteria, mold, and fine particles<\/strong> (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. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OberA IC Range compatible with stables<\/h2>\n\n<p>OberA offers an <strong>IC range specifically adapted for stables and equestrian centers<\/strong>. Each model is designed for a particular use depending on the size of the premises and the number of horses.

Regularly check the level for optimal and automatic operation. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Position the device on the ground<\/strong> 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. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combine with light ventilation<\/strong>: if possible, slightly open windows or doors to allow hot air to escape. Evaporation will be more effective on dry, warm air. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regular cleaning<\/strong>: at the end of the season, empty and rinse the tank. Clean the humidifier panel if necessary. This preserves the device&#8217;s lifespan and efficiency.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opt for seasonal use<\/strong>: we recommend using the cooler only during heatwave periods. In cool or humid weather, deactivate the machine to avoid excessive condensation. <br\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>User Reviews and Current Offers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Stable owners equipped with OberA coolers often highlight their <strong>immediate effectiveness<\/strong> and <strong>ease of use<\/strong>.
