evaporative coolers
Evaporative coolers cost less to run and maintain. Evaporative coolers are great in dry climates and keep your air fresher with more moisture.
How does an evaporative cooler work? Wet your arm and then blow on it. Your skin feels cooler. That is the process of evaporative cooling.
A swamp cooler or an evaporative cooler, is an appliance with porous surfaces that let air pass through. The fan inside the swamp cooler pulls outside air through the sides and into the appliance. The fan moves the warm outside air through water-wetted pads, cooling the air about 20ºF as the air evaporates water molecules from the pads. The fan then blows the cooled air through the house.
Evaporative coolers are popular in dry climates like Lafayette Colorado because they are inexpensive, use a quarter as much electricity as an air conditioner of equivalent size, are easy to maintain, and add a comfortable level of humidity to dry air.
To choose the right size evaporative cooler for your house or condo, you need to determine how many cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) the unit can pump.
