With simple installation either the 2 or
4 Flex Hose Kit allows you to set the Cooling System out of the
way directing the Cool Air up to ten feet where you need it the
most. Strongly consider the Kit if you must set your Cooling System
farther than two feet away from your needs in extreme heat especially
in a Vehicle or Aircraft.
The Flex Hose Kit FH2 (right) contains
everything needed for two hoses and the FH4 Kit (left below) contains
everything needed for four Cool Air Vent hoses. If you have a
MightyKool Model with four Cool Air Vents you would only use the
front two and close the ones on the side for most Flex Hose operations.
First step
is to simply remove the two Chrome Cool Air Vents from your MightyKool,
install the Hose Adapters in their place and then position the
Cooling System in an area out of the way.
Next
secure the Flex Hose to the Hose Adapters that replaced the cool
air vents, decide where you need the cool air then determine the
length of Flex Hose needed. Cut off the excess hose placing the
Chrome Cool Air Vents you removed into the end of each Hose. Secure
all hoses with the wire ties and you are set to cool.
Without the Flex Hose Kit the cool air may be 70 degrees as it
leaves the cool air vents however flowing through 100-degree air
it quickly increases up to 90-degrees in as little as two feet!
It is vital to have the cool air vents close as possible to you
or consider using a Flex Hose Kit for positive relief.
If you use the Flex Hose Kit the cool air
is contained in the hose and only looses one degree per foot in
100-degree ambient air. For our example the 70-degree cool air
would be 72-degrees in two feet, 75-degrees in five feet, 77-degrees
in seven feet, etc.!
Another factor is the Air Velocity effect using a Flex Two Hose
system. The normal Feet Per Minute (FPM) velocity from each front
outlet vent averages around 2,000 FPM per side on the MightyKool
models. There is no loss in velocity using a five feet Flex Hose
and the velocity using ten feet only drops about 10%.
Using the Flex Four Hose system yields about 1,300 FPM from each
of the four hoses or a total of 5,200 FPM of cool air movement.
Compare that with the total of 4,000 FPM coming from the two front
vents. Granted that the four hoses will not have the velocity
of the two hose system, however 1,300 FPM is plenty of velocity
when you direct the cool air properly like you do in a Commercial
Airliner.
The Flex Hose Kit Model FH2 contains two hose Adapters
that will replace two Chrome Air Vents so that the hose can be
attached to the front of the MightyKool. There are two 10-foot
flex hoses with sufficient black plastic wire ties to help hold
the flex hose where needed. The Chrome Air Vents will attach inside
the flex hose end that has been cut to the desired length. The
two hose Kit is $37.00 plus $12.00 shipping/handling anywhere
in the Continental USA. Prices available upon request to other
parts of the world.
The Flex Hose Kit Model FH4 contains two hose Adapters that will
replace two Chrome Air Vents so that the hoses may be attached
to the front of the MightyKool. There are two 10-foot hoses, two
5-foot hoses, two one foot hoses and sufficient black plastic
wire ties to help hold the flex hose where needed. There are two
"Y" hose connectors to direct the air into the four
hoses plus the two hoses going to the Cooling System. Also included
are four new Star Chrome Air Vents with four adapters to connect
to the ends of the hoses. The original Chrome Air Vents are not
suitable for the Flex Hose Kit FH4. The four hose Kit is $127.00
plus $12.00 shipping/handling anywhere in the Continental USA.
