 Swamp cooler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Evaporative cooling is especially well suited where the air is hot and humidity is low.
An earlier form of air cooling 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 [2].
Typically, residential and industrial swamp coolers use direct evaporative cooling and can be described as an enclosed, metal or plastic box with vented sides containing an axial fan (squirrel cage), fan motor with pulley wheels and a water pump to wet the cooling pads.

Evaporative cooling, which uses the heat in the air to evaporate water from leaves and other wetted surfaces, can cool the greenhouse to 10-20° F below outside temperature.
With an evaporated cooling system, humid air containing the heat that it picked up within the greenhouse is exhausted out through the vents or fans, and cooler, drier air is brought in.
