How Evaporative Coolers Use Energy An evaporative cooler system uses the process of evaporating water into the air. This works very effectively in low-humidity areas. This can be a very energy-efficient way of cooling a space. These systems are sometimes referred to as swamp coolers. This system works by cooling outdoor airflow that passes over water-saturated pads. The water is then evaporated. Once it has passed through, the air is 15-40 degrees cooler and can be directed into the space being cooled. As the cooler airflow is being pushed into space, warmer air is then pushed out through windows. When... View Article

Poor air quality is not just a matter of having high levels of smog or smoke; it can be any air quality that makes it harder to function, too. Evaporative coolers, or swamp coolers, may help moderate indoor airflow and could be a great solution if you need better home cooling.... View Article
