One fill pf the cylinder would be sufficient for approximate 75 to 125 miles. The air flow rate is controlled by two pull cords that open and close the vents. The speed of the car creates air flow through the cooler, which passes through the cooling jacket and out through the vents into the car. How they used to work: Basically before a journey you would fill the unit with crushed ice or water through the a opening in the side until water comes out of the overflow hole. By the late 1960s they were eventually replaced by the air conditioning. At the time it was the only thing you could use to cool down on those sweltering hot days. Vintage Swamp Coolers or Car coolers, were used between the 1940s and the 1960s.
