Unlike air conditioners, swamp evaporative coolers require very little energy in order to work well, as long as the appropriate environmental conditions are met. Speaking of the environment, evaporative coolers are pollutant free because they work using nature’s own cooling mechanism. The term swamp evaporative cooler is a bit misleading because an evaporative cooler actually has nothing to do with a swamp and in fact, wouldn’t work in swamp-like conditions. An evaporativ...

6. NewAir AF-321 Swamp Cooler Product Review: Five Reasons to Purchase May 19, 2008 1. Cost Effective: Swamp coolers in general are extremely cost effective.

8. Woven Wood Blinds - The ins and outs. October 28, 2006 I love wood woven blinds because they are the same as bamboo blinds. These are blinds that I experienced when I was growing up. Grandmother and Grandfather had woven wood blinds installed on their large front porch. They were necessary in order to shade us from the bright western sun, which would shine in our eyes without it. The porch was a welcome retreat in the days before air conditioning or evaporative cooling so we always lowered it late in the afternoon. I grew up with the outdoor woven wood blinds. Woven wood blinds are extremely heavy because they are made from bamboo. These bam... (read more) Author: Karen Hughes

9. How Swamp Coolers Work September 22, 2006 Swamp coolers, or evaporative coolers, are a type of refrigeration system that uses evaporation to cool air, differing from traditional air conditioning which uses a phase change heat pump with a compressor to cool air. Swamp coolers are designed especially for areas that are low-humidity but where the air is hot. Operating a swamp cooler in these areas can be more cost effective than traditional air conditioning. To cool the air, the fan in the swamp cooler brings air from outside through vents in the sides through damp pads. The hot air evaporates the air in the pads which then humidifi...

10. Evaporative Water Cooler - This Water Cooled Condensing Unit Is No Swamp Cooler August 15, 2006 This unique cooling technology from Freus, shouldn’t be confused with a swamp cooler. Although water is used to assist with the cooling, it is sprayed over condensing coils rather than pads. The water cooled condensing unit is a residential application of the 250 ton split system chillers already used by commercial buildings. Think of this technology as a mini-chiller for residential use. Evaporative water cooler units for split system air conditioners have a number of advantages over air-cooled units. Water removes heat from the condenser coils far more efficiently than air. This re... (read more) Author: Sam Streubel
