Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:


An evaporative cooler (also swamp cooler, desert cooler, and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the simple evaporation of water. Evaporative cooling differs from air conditioning by refrigeration and absorptive refrigeration, which use vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycles. In the United States, the use of the term swamp cooler may be due to the odor of algae produced by early units.[1] Air washers and wet cooling towers use the same principles as evaporative coolers, but are optimized for purposes other than air cooling.

In moderate humidity locations there are many cost-effective uses for evaporative cooling, in addition to their widespread use in dry climates. For example, industrial plants, commercial kitchens, laundries, dry cleaners, greenhouses, spot cooling (loading docks, warehouses, factories, construction sites, athletic events, workshops, garages, and kennels) and confinement farming (poultry ranches, hog, and dairy) all often employ evaporative cooling. In highly humid climates, evaporative cooling may have little thermal comfort benefit beyond the increased ventilation and air movement it provides.

The evaporative cooler was the subject of numerous U. S. patents in the twentieth century; many of these, starting in 1906,[2] suggested or assumed the use of excelsior (wood wool) pads as the elements to get lots of water in contact with moving air to thereby cool the air. A typical design, as shown in a 1945 patent, includes a water reservoir (usually with level controlled by a float valve), a pump to circulate water over the excelsior pads, and a squirrel-cage fan to draw air through the pads and into the house.[3] This design and material remains dominant in swamp coolers in the American Southwest, where they are also used to increase humidity.[4]

Civilizations throughout the ages have found ingenious ways to combat the heat in their region. An earlier form of air cooling, the windcatcher (Bâd gir), was invented in Persia (Iran) thousands of years ago in the form of wind shafts on the roof, which caught the wind and passed it through water and blew the cooled air into the building.[citation needed]

1. What Are The Benefits Of Swamp Cooler?
January 26, 2010

A swamp evaporative cooler can give you the best of cooling technologies without the disadvantages of air conditioning. 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 evaporat...

2. Home and Garden water misting system
January 22, 2010

Most people are beginning to appreciate that a misting system or what is popularly known as evaporative cooling, is the most cost-effective way to cool gardens and areas outside one's home. The basic principle behind this system is moving air past water particles, evaporating the water. The heat required to cause the evaporation is absorbed from the prevailing hot air and the result is wafting of cool breeze reducing the temperature by nearly 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Many residents testify that the misting system instantly cools the area by 20 - 30 degrees, allowing them us to spend time ou... (read more)

3. You Should Buy Swamp Coolers Online
January 07, 2010

People use Swamp Coolers, or Evaporative Coolers, for cooling because it will use about one forth of the energy that refrigerated cooling uses. It works very simply. Water is pumped over the inlet pads, and as the air passes through the louvers and pads the temperature of the air drops. If the air is humid, the temperature drop is less. When the outside air is dry you can get up to a 30 degree temperature drop. With a 95 degree outdoor temperature you can have a 65 degree supply air temperature blowing out the supply grills. As you can see, evaporative cooling can not only save you money... (read more)

6. Increase efficiency of your Industry by Cooling System
November 21, 2008

Working indoors in the summer months is painful. Not only because you can't enjoy the wonderful weather outside, but because even with air conditioning, some offices can become hot and stuffy, creating a less than ideal working environment. Even with air conditioners, the air can become overly dry, causing cracked skin and lips. It also doesn't make for a nice feeling when you finally do get outside. An industrial spot cooling system will keep workers cool and refreshed, right at their desks -- at a fraction of the cost of an air conditioning unit. Workers will stay productive, despite ...

11. 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)

12. 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... (read more)

13. 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)

16. New Invention Ideas
February 04, 2006

A few more new invention ideas. Read about them, laugh at them if you must, modify them, use them and call them your own if you want. Air conditioning shirt. Backpacking in hot weather, I often stop to wet my shirt in a stream. The evaporative cooling as it dries is wonderful. Now if a shirt had little water "tanks" on the shoulders, a shirt could be kept wet and keep cooling for hours, perhaps. They would have to be lightweight, and they would have to release the water slowly. Even better would be tanks with an adjustable rate of flow, so you could have the shirt wetted at the same rate ...
