There are some differences between air coolers and air conditioners:

1. Working principle: The air cooler mainly reduces temperature by absorbing heat through water evaporation, while also increasing air humidity; Air conditioning uses refrigerant circulation and heat exchange to cool or heat, and can regulate temperature and humidity.

2. Refrigeration capacity: Air conditioners have strong refrigeration capacity and can effectively cool down over a large range; The cooling effect of the air cooler is relatively weak, making it more suitable for local small-scale cooling.

3. Function: In addition to cooling, air conditioning can also provide heating, dehumidification, and other functions; The function of the air cooler is relatively single.

4. Installation: The installation of the air cooler is relatively simple and easy to move; The installation of air conditioning is relatively complex and mostly involves fixed installation.

5. Energy consumption: In general, the energy consumption of the air cooler is relatively low; The energy consumption of air conditioning is relatively high.
