	Swamp cooler faq page - information about swamp coolers - how they work
		Portable swamp coolers are the most versatile systems for a home or small office and can be moved from one room to another for cooling smaller areas.
		Whatever size swamp cooler you choose, remember that it must be used in a fairly dry climate to work effectively.
		A swamp cooler, sometimes known as an evaporative cooler, is essentially a box-like frame containing a fan that is walled in by water-soaked pads, usually made of cedar shavings or cellulose.

	Swamp cooler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Swamp coolers (also called "evaporative coolers" or "Air coolers") are air conditioners used to cool buildings in dry climates.
		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 a radial fan (also centrifugal or squirrel cage), fan motor with pulley wheels and a water pump to wet the cooling pads.
		Traditionally, swamp cooler pads consist of excelsior (wood wool) (aspen wood fiber) inside a containment net, but more modern materials, such as some plastics and melamine paper, are entering use as cooler-pad media.

	Facts
		Swamp coolers are an efficient and effective machine for cooling.
		There is a low horsepower motor which pumps the water from the floor of the cooler to the top of the cooler, where it proceeds to fall down the sides, along porous filter pads.
		Probably because evaporative coolers add moisture to the air and blow it around, they are sometimes knows as "swamp coolers." Evaporative coolers can work wonderfully well, provided the outside air they are drawing in is dry and desert-like.

	Evaporative Cooling (Swamp Cooler)
		Operation and maintenance of the swamp cooler is so simple that it was not even discussed as part of our class.
		The roof mounted cooler normally includes a thermostat located somewhere in the home, which turns the unit on when the indoor temperature becomes uncomfortably warm, and off when the home is sufficiently cooled.
		Evaporative coolers are energy efficient since the blower motor only has to move the air and not compress a refrigerant gas as required in an air conditioner.

		On the inside of each panel is attached a "cooler pad" which looks a little bit like a matt of hay.

	Interesting Information About Swamp Coolers
		An evaporative cooler is able to produce cool air by the natural process of water evaporation.
		Instead, the hot, humid air will pass through the cooler unchanged, and the result will be evaporative coolers acting more like what earned them the name swamp coolers – they’ll simply blow the hot humid air from outside into your home.
		Swamp coolers or evaporative coolers work the best in areas like the southwest of the United States, where the climate is regularly hot and dry.

	Swamp Coolers
		Evaporative or "swamp" coolers use fans to move hot, dry air through wetted pads and into homes.
		To prevent this, concentrated salts are removed from swamp coolers via some sort of "bleed-off" mechanism.
		In some cases, a continual stream of water is removed; in other cases, a manual valve is opened occasionally to drain water out of the cooler.

	Rio Rancho Handyman
		The city water department calculates that a traditional swamp cooler loses three gallons of water to evaporation each hour of operation, and during an average summer a swamp cooler will be on for about 1,300 hours.
		Added to the 3,900 gallons of water that is lost to evaporation from a swamp cooler each summer, swamp coolers use 4,811 gallons a season.
		And the savings can be much greater when a refrigerated air unit is compared to a swamp cooler with a "dump pump" or a "bleed-off valve." These devices siphon water out of the cooler pan to prevent mineral build up.

		"Swamp coolers" waste water and usually have straw fibers woven through "chicken wire" in the back and sides of their rusty metal housings to disperse the water.
		"Swamp coolers" are clumsy and must be mounted on the roof, in a window or an opening in the wall.

		If the cooler was cooling and not leaking when it was last turned off, it is likely that the motor, the pump and the float are still fine.
		If the cooler has a side vent, another place to really slather on the paint is above the pan on the wall and at the seam where the pan joins the wall behind the squirrel cage.
		Kulas are "evaporative coolers" meaning the air is drawn from outside, through the wet pads and pushed into the house through a vent.

		The advantages of a swamp cooler are several, including the fact that it is generally more economical than air conditioning.
		Running the "fan only" option on the swamp cooler during the cool night hours, is not only a good "secure" way to take advantage of cooling "without" increased humidity, but it will also help eliminate any humidity build up, that may have occured during the previous days operation.
		This works perfectly, as it opens and closes itself due to air pressure from the swamp cooler, and it is located at the opposite corner of the house from the swamp cooler itself.

	A swamp cooler cools air by evaporation
		What the heck is a swamp cooler and how does it work-Jack W., Washington D.C. A swamp cooler (more formally called an evaporative cooler) is essentially a large box-like frame containing a big fan and walled in by water-wetted pads, usually made of cedar shavings or cellulose.
		The fan whooshes the hot outside air through the dripping pads (which are continually soaked by a water pump), cooling the air by about 20 ºF as the air evaporates water molecules from the pads.
		Swamp coolers are popular in the southwest because they are relatively inexpensive, use a quarter as much electricity as a refrigerated unit, are easy to maintain by the average do-it-yourselfer, and add a comfortable level of humidity to the dry desert air.

		The swamps in SoCal are populated with two legged cold blooded things.
		You either have lower flow resistance by making a whacking huge mat surface with enough sealing to keep air from sneaking in around the fan [imagine a beach ball sized or larger mat]; Or you need to replace the fan with a blower designed to deal with high flow resistances.

	A Swamp Cooler Primer - Associated Content
		It is designed to mimic the way the human body cools itself: we perspire a mixture of salts and moisture, and the air that contacts the perspiration cools the body with evaporation (there's a more exacting explanation of this involving thermodynamics, but I'm certainly not the one to deliver it).
		A swamp cooler works through the same evaporation process, so often these are referred to as "evaporative coolers".
		Because swamp coolers don't use any refrigeration process, they require an average of 25% of the electricity that customary air conditioning unit require, and that excites both environmentalists and cheapskates (I think to think of myself as the former, but I'm probably more the latter).
