What are the similarities and differences between mobile coolers and mounted coolers in terms of cooling principles?

Similarities
Heat exchange principle: Whether it is a mobile cooler or a mounted cooler, their basic working principle is based on the principle of heat exchange. Both transfer heat from the cooled medium to another medium in some way to achieve cooling.
Use of cooling medium: Both coolers may need to use cooling media, such as water, air or refrigerant, to absorb and take away heat. These cooling media circulate inside the cooler and exchange heat with the medium to be cooled.

Differences
Structure and design:
Mobile cooler: It is designed to be more compact and lightweight, with universal wheels at the bottom for easy movement and carrying. Its internal structure may be relatively simple, but it is sufficient to meet temporary or mobile cooling needs.
Mounted cooler: It is more complex and large and needs to be fixed in a specific location. Its internal structure is more sophisticated, including more pipes, valves and control systems to meet long-term and stable cooling needs.
Cooling method and efficiency:
Mobile cooler: It may use different cooling methods such as evaporative cooling and refrigerant circulation. Evaporative coolers absorb heat by evaporating water, and are suitable for occasions where indoor humidity is low and rapid cooling is required. Refrigerant circulation coolers absorb heat by evaporating the refrigerant in the evaporator, and then condense and release heat in the condenser to achieve cooling. Its cooling efficiency may vary depending on the model and power, but is generally lower than that of mounted coolers.
Mounted coolers: use more efficient cooling methods, such as heat pump technology, compressor refrigeration, etc. These technologies can absorb and transfer heat more effectively, thereby achieving higher cooling efficiency. In addition, mounted coolers usually have larger cooling capacity and stronger heat dissipation capabilities, which are suitable for occasions that require long-term and large-scale cooling.
Application scenarios:
Mobile coolers: Due to their portability and flexibility, they are suitable for various temporary or mobile cooling needs. For example, offices, outdoor temporary command centers, open-air factories and other places. In addition, they are also often used in building groups that need to be frequently relocated or rented.
Mounted coolers: are more suitable for occasions that require long-term and stable cooling. For example, large data centers, industrial plants, commercial buildings, etc. These places usually require higher cooling efficiency and larger cooling capacity to meet the needs of long-term operation.
