Reply to: RE: [VAC] Swamp Coolers
Grew up with an evaporative (swamp) cooler in the '60's - no fancy refrigerated air
for us (no electrical energy crisis either).
If the humidity is low, the air coming out of one feels like ice cubes - especially at
120 deg's. Now try it in high humidity, and the temp drop is practically nothing -
just more soggy!
The inlaws have a unit like this in their motorhome, and echo the same sentiments. I
guess the laws of physic's haven't changed the last 40 years.
Our "new" '57 Flying Cloud has a late 1950's "Cool Air" evaporative unit on it. It
still works! It is rather ungainly looking though. They are simple in operation and
design.
