swamp coolers
Evaporative cooling units
Swamp coolers are evaporative cooling devices that cool air by passing it through water-soaked pads.
As the water evaporates, it absorbs heat and lowers the air temperature.
They work best in hot, dry climates where humidity is low—hence their popularity in the American Southwest.
The swamp cooler kept the house comfortable all summer.
Unlike air conditioners, they add moisture to the air rather than removing it.
