We naturally cool down with moisture. This is why our bodies perspire, with the moisture released from our skin evaporating as well as becoming a natural heat sink for our internal temperature. The same idea works with evaporative coolers. These machines function by injecting moisture into the local air that in turn condensates around us and causes the overall temperature in the air to drop. The same air pressure also pushes heat out of the room where there is venting. This kind of set up is ideal in locations that have low humidity and the potential for high temperature, like...

A comfortable temperature and humidity level are both crucial for maintaining good health and good indoor air quality. Much of the discussion around cooling a home or commercial building understandably centers on costs and effectiveness, but the effect of the cooling system on indoor air is also of concern. 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
