Evaporative coolers work differently than traditional HVAC systems. When you want to cool the air in your home or business without dramatically increasing the energy bill, it’s important to look at energy efficiency. Are evaporative coolers energy efficient? Absolutely, and we’ll show you why that is based on the system you buy and the evaporative process that takes place. Why Evaporative Coolers are Energy Efficient Evaporative coolers, often known as swamp coolers, are energy efficient because of the way in which they were designed to cool the air. They use the evaporative process and work in very specific environments –... View Article

Cool environments are important. It adds not only comfort but also productivity. If you’re inviting customers or patients into a space, you need to make sure that the space is cool enough that they can enjoy the time that they are at your location. Evaporative coolers are capable of offering an energy-efficient solution. There’s just one question: how cold do evaporative coolers get? There are a few considerations in order to provide the best answer. Starting Temperature In most instances, you have to consider what the starting temperature is in the area you’re looking to cool down. When the temperature... View Article

An evaporative cooler works differently than traditional air conditioning systems with ductwork. Commonly called a swamp cooler, these coolers work by embracing the process of evaporation. The Process of Evaporation Evaporative coolers use the process of evaporation to create cool air that increases the level of humidity in the air. There are a few important components of this cooler: Fan Thick pad Water reservoir The fan is responsible for drawing the dry, hot air into the machine and across the thick pads that are soaked with water. As the pads absorb the water from the reservoir, they are ready for... View Article

As you begin looking at evaporative coolers, it’s important to consider operating costs. These types of coolers are known to be considerably more energy-efficient than traditional HVAC systems. However, you have to ask: how much water does an evaporative cooler use? Why is Water Used? There are two things required to operate an evaporative cooler: A power source and a water source. The power source is obvious. Water is used in order to create the process of evaporation. The water reservoir is used in order to maintain moisture on the cooling medium. This is what helps to cool the air... View Article

Evaporative coolers, commonly referred to as swamp coolers, have the ability to produce cooler temperatures and add to the humidity in the air. Knowing how they work is critical so that they run as efficiently as possible. This brings up a very important question: Do you need to open windows for evaporative cooling to work properly? The answer is dependent on how you plan to adjust the airflow and what type of location you are using the cooler in. Adjust Air Flow There are a few ways in which you can adjust the airflow. However, there is a basic concept... View Article
