Claim Text:
1. A refrigerator comprising: An evaporative cooler and pad, comprising: a hollow housing having at least one porous wall and an outlet, the housing defining an interior volume; a porous evaporator pad disposed within the housing immediately adjacent the porous wall, the porous evaporator pad consisting of a plurality of sheets of luffa sponge fibers; wherein the plurality of sheets of luffa sponge fibers are compressed together to form a multiple ply porous evaporator pad; a water reservoir disposed within the housing; a cooling fan disposed within the housing; a temperature probe and a thermostat coupled to the cooling fan and sensing a water temperature of the water reservoir; wherein the temperature probe and the thermostat selectively actuate the cooling fan to blow air over the surface of the water reservoir when the water temperature is at a predetermined level; a water pump disposed within the housing, the water pump selectively drawing water from the water reservoir and delivering the water to the multiple ply porous evaporator pad; a motor and a driving fan disposed within the housing, the motor and the driving fan selectively drawing air through the porous wall and multiple ply porous evaporator pad and expelling the air through the outlet; an agent dispenser disposed within the housing; and an aseptic agent disposed in the agent dispenser, the agent dispenser being configured for selectively dispensing the aseptic agent into the water reservoir.
