Swamp Coolers
Anyone used one of the modern "swamp" eavporative coolers in their shop? Prices are down and i was looking for first hand info on how effective they are based on rated capacity. Like does a 500sqf unit decently cool 500 sqf of insulated shop. Thanks
They don't work well in our climate, as they rely on the evaporation of water to absorb thermal energy. If its humid, the air has little additional capacity (relative humidity) and not much heat gets absorbed. The better bet is one of the cool mist type commercial fans used at outdoor venues, bars, etc.
Of course, you are introducing lots of water into your shop as well. Money is better spent on additional south/west facing insulation and good fans.

They work well when its dry, and suck when its humid.
I'm putting a/c in my shop.
If you really want a Port-a-Cool, I have a buddy that sells them.
