Indirect Evaporative Cooling
Traditional evaporative coolers use only a fraction of the energy of conventional air-conditioning systems. Unfortunately, except for in very dry climates, they may increase humidity to a level that makes occupants uncomfortable. Two-stage (indirect) evaporative coolers do not produce humidity levels as high as that produced by traditional single-stage evaporative coolers.
The difference between a conventional evaporative cooler and an Indirect evaporative cooler is that the indirect evaporative cooler cools the air in two operations before it is blown into the home to avoid adding moisture to the cool air. Although both operations use water for cooling, only the second operation adds moisture to supply air.
According to manufacturers, the difference is cool air with a relative humidity between 50 and 70 percent, depending on the climate, compared to a traditional system that produces about 80 percent relative humidity air.
MAINTENANCE
Evaporative coolers require maintenance. Here are some of the items that should be checked ...
lBlower assembly and motor bearings need lubrication.
lFan belts should have the proper tension, movement should be approximately 1 inch maximum. lThe water level should be a little below the top of the tray, with the top of the overflow pipe sticking out of the water. If the water is not at the proper level the float arm may need adjustment.
lThe water tray should be free of debris.
lCooler pads should be in good condition.
lWater lines should be disconnected and blown free for the winter in cold climates.
The Terminal-Republic of Krakozhia
In the new Steven Spielberg film The Terminal, Tom Hanks plays Viktor Navorski who is stranded at John F. Kennedy International Airport when his nation's leadership (in the Republic of Krakozhia) changes and becomes unrecognized by the United States. The story of the film is actually based somewhat on the life of Merhan Nasseri, who has lived stateless in Paris' Charles De Gaulle airport for fifteen years! Nasseri now has papers to enable him to leave but he has not yet.

Swamp Cooler Sizing
The capacity of an evaporative cooler is measured in CFM, (cubic feet per minute). This
is the amount of air, in cubic feet, a swamp cooler will push through your home in one
minute.
A small window unit may be 2,500 CFM, while a whole house unit will be 6,000 CFM or
larger. Whether it is for a single room or a whole house, there is a simple formula for
determining the proper size of swamp cooler you need.
Figure the cubic feet of space you want to cool, and then divide that number by two.
The quotient will give you the CFM rating for the proper-sized swamp cooler.
For example, if you have a 1,500 square foot home with 8 foot-high ceilings:
1,500 x 8 = 12,000 cubic feet 12,000 % 2 = 6,000 CFM needed
Before you start your swamp cooler, consider these resource saving tips from the
Water Conservation Alliance of Southern Arizona:

Before you start your swamp cooler, consider these resource saving tips from the
Water Conservation Alliance of Southern Arizona:
- If you can wait until the temperature reaches at least 85 degrees, you'll save 50% on water usage compared to starting it at 79 degrees.
- Turn on the water pump five minutes before turning on the fan. This will saturate the pads first, and make your cooler more efficient.
- In the evenings, or when it's relatively cool outside, run the cooler fan without the water pump.
- Use the fan only on rainy or high humidity days.
- Use ceiling fans to circulate air.
Water Usage
Typically a swamp cooler will have a float valve in the reservoir to maintain the water
level. This keeps water usage to a minimum but promotes the build up of scale on the
pads and reservoir pan.
To counter this problem, some coolers have been designed with a bleed off valve that
periodically drains water from the reservoir or a "sump dump" that flushes out the
contents of the reservoir including debris that accumulates from natural Aspen pads.
Both of these systems reduce scaling and keep the pads working efficiently, but they
also use substantially more water than a float system.

Swamp Cooler Pads
Much research has gone into the design of cooler pads and materials. Aspen pads are
effective and inexpensive, easy for the home owner to change, and are biodegradable
when disposed of properly. Synthetic fibers cost a little more and may last longer, but
they are seldom biodegradable and don't really cool much better than natural pads.

What is air cooling? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia .....
Air cooling is a standard method of system cooling used to method of dissipate heat. The object being cooled will have a flow of air moving over its surface. Most air cooling systems use a combination of fans and heat sinks, which exchanges heat with air.
Apartment, Air Cooler VS Air Conditioner, What's Better?
Q:
I live in a tiny little apartment, maybe 800 sq ft or so. I am in desperate need of something to cool down the air. It's in the 90's all the time and if it were just me and the b/f I wouldn't care, but we have 3 kids and 1 of them is a baby so cool air is a necessity.
I can't decide on whether to go with an Air Cooler or an Air Conditioner (either one would be the floor portable version for we have slider windows that aren't capable of holding window AC units). Obviously the AC wuld be better for it would be soo much cooler and all, but do the air cooler's work just as well? Are they good for making the room feel nice? I don't want to go the cheap route and buy the air cooler and it not work, but then again I don't want to spend more than need be and get the ac and the air cooler would have worked fine.
PLEASE HELP!!! WHAT WOULD YOU DO???

A:
It depends where you live.
If by air cooler, you mean an evaporative cooler, they work by passing dry hot air (desert southwest) over water using the heat to evaporate the water and cool the air. They work well in dry heat. But if you live in Alabama where the temp is 98 and the humidity is 17,000 you can forget an evaporative cooler. Then you need AC.

Swamp Cooler vs Air Conditioner
Although swamp coolers and air conditioners were invented to turn hot air into cool, the science behind each method is quite different.
What is a swamp cooler? It’s just another name for an evaporative cooler. Water is used to wet absorptive pads around the sides of the cooler.
A fan or "squirrel cage" draws outside air through the pads and the air is cooled as the water in the pads evaporates.
The major benefit of this type of cooler is that you only need to power a water pump and a fan to draw the air through the pads.
They typically use between three and 10 gallons of water per day. That's equivalent to a few toilet flushes or, on the high end, a short shower.
Unless the relative humidity is less than a maximum of 40%, swamp coolers are not very effective. They work well in the Southwest, West Texas, and parts of Idaho, Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. In these areas you could expect a swamp cooler to achieve a 15- 20 degree difference between outside and inside temperatures.
Also, for a swamp cooler to remain effective it must exhaust as much air as it takes in. This necessitates keeping a
window open. If you don’t, the humidity will rise and so will the temperature of the air blown from the cooler.
Air conditioning, on the other hand, is popular because it will reliably dehumidify and cool the air, no matter where you live. This how an air conditioner works:
The compressor compresses cool Freon gas, causing it to become hot, high-pressure Freon gas. This hot gas runs through a set of coils so it can dissipate its heat, and it condenses into a liquid.
The Freon liquid runs through an expansion valve, and in the process it evaporates to become cold, low-pressure Freon gas. This cold gas runs through a set of coils that allow the gas to absorb heat and cool down the air inside. Mixed in with the Freon is a small amount of lightweight oil that lubricates the compressor.
Swamp cooler cost vs air conditionerAs far as hard costs, evaporative coolers are less expensive than air conditioners. For example, a 4500 CFM evaporative cooler costs about $700 to purchase and install. A similarly sized AC unit would cost about $2,500. In addition, repair parts are often more expensive for AC units than evaporative coolers.
Which is cheaper to operate?The swamp cooler wins handily. For similar sized units, the annual utility costs for an air conditioner are three times those of a swamp cooler (water & electric).The difference is the amount of energy required to power an air conditioner compressor versus the electric motors used in a swamp cooler.
MaintenanceThe evaporative cooler can easily be serviced by any home owner with a minimum of mechanical knowledge, a screwdriver and an adjustable wrench. On the other hand, repair and maintenance of air conditioning systems should be left to professional service technicians.
Which is better for the environment?Unless you believe that soon to be outlawed R-22 refrigerant leaking into the atmosphere from your air conditioner is a good thing, the swamp cooler wins again. The swamp cooler maintains a Green profile by mimicking nature’s way of cooling.How an air conditioner or swamp cooler affects the indoor environment of your home is determined by the way each circulates the air. Although an air conditioner re-circulates the same air, it's helpful in controlling allergens such as dust and pollen.Since open windows are necessary when running a swamp cooler, you’ll be letting in everything the air conditioner keeps out.
Swamp Cooler vs Air Conditioner: Which one wins?I think swamp coolers are an inexpensive alternative to air conditioning if you live in Phoenix, Arizona or anywhere the humidity is around 30%. But if you call Little Rock, Arkansas your home, nobody’s going to talk you out of your air conditioner.

Portable Air Conditioner Reviews
Portable air conditioning units offer a solution to unique cooling problems when traditional options
such as window air conditioners or central air aren't viable. Here are a few situations where a stand
alone air conditioner could be just the answer you're looking for.
Other portable room air cooling units like a fan create a cooling breeze but do nothing to reduce
humidity; while a portable swamp cooler actually adds moisture to the air as it cools. This leaves
only the portable air conditioner as a viable source of cooling and dehumidifying when traditional
cooling appliances are unavailable.

- New additions or that room above the garage you just remodeled.
- College dorm rooms.
- When window air conditioners are not permitted by the landlord.
- The central A/C doesn't reach the uppermost rooms of your home.
- Irregular shaped windows won't accommodate a window unit.
- Fear of damaging new vinyl replacement windows with an in-window unit.
- Extra cooling for rooms containing sensitive electronic equipment like computers.

How does evaporative air cooler work?
Evaporative air cooler is essential wet air traveling through your home or space absorbing heat that's radiated from all the surfaces. When you first step out of a shower or swimming pool, don't you feel cool when you first hit the air? That's natural evaporative air cooler.
Evaporative air cooler uses the same priniciple. They blow air through cool wet sponges. The blowing wet air picks up heat and makes the space feel cooler. With today's high energy prices, evaporative air cooler provides an efficient and cheap process of cooling for people who live in a dry-heat area. In fact, the hotter and dryer the temperature, the better they work. Plus they bring in a constant supply of fresh air. Evaporative air cooler costs less to buy, and unlike a/c units, can be maintained by the homeowner.

Why I choose AOLAN
Evoparative air cooler has a fan that absorbs the hot dry air in the cooler, which is passed through cooling pads. The pads are damped by the pump that circulates water through the machine. As the dry air picks up some of the water, its temperature drops, sometimes by as much as 30 degrees fahrenheit, depending on the climate. The cooled air blown into the room. Another advantage of evaporative cooler is that the pads that cool the air can also filter it. As the air passing through the pads, dir, dust, allergens and other pollutant are capured in the fibers of the pads. So you can breathe cleaner and cooler air.
Air conditioning only re-circulates the same air you've breathing and living in for days. However, Aolan Evaporative Air Cooler continually circulates the outside fresh air.
Each Aolan air cooler has large cooling pads. During the cooling circulation, these pads are damped by water distributor. Hot air from ourside is then drawn through these pads and cooled by the water evaporation.
Besides, as Aolan product moisturizes the air, your skin, eyes and nose don't suffer the dryness caused by air conditioning. What's more, Aolan Evaporative Air Cooler filters the air as it's cooled, removing dust, mold, and smoke…

Evaporative air cooler
An evaporative air cooler (also swamp cooler, desert cooler, and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water. Evaporative cooling differs from typical air conditioning systems which use vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycles. Evaporative cooling works by employing water's large enthalpy of vaporization. The temperature of dry air can be dropped significantly through the phase transition of liquid water to water vapor, which requires much less energy than refrigeration. In extremely dry climates, it also has the added benefit of conditioning the air with more moisture for the comfort of occupants. Unlike refrigeration, it requires a water source, and must continually consume water to operate. In the United States
Evaporative cooling is especially well suited for climates where the air is hot and humidity is low. In the United States, the western/mountain states are good locations, with evaporative coolers prevalent in cities like Denver, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, El Paso, Tucson, and Fresno where sufficient water is available. Evaporative air conditioning is also popular and well-suited to the southern (temperate) part of Australia. In dry, arid climates, the installation and operating cost of an evaporative cooler can be much lower than that of refrigerative air conditioning, often by 80% or so. However, evaporative cooling and vapor-compression air conditioning are sometimes used in combination to yield optimal cooling results. Some evaporative coolers may also serve as humidifiers in the heating season.
In locations with moderate humidity there are many cost-effective uses for evaporative cooling, in addition to their widespread use in dry climates. For example, industrial plants, commercial kitchens, laundries, dry cleaners, greenhouses, spot cooling (loading docks, warehouses, factories, construction sites, athletic events, workshops, garages, and kennels) and confinement farming (poultry ranches, hog, and dairy) often employ evaporative cooling. In highly humid climates, evaporative cooling may have little thermal comfort benefit beyond the increased ventilation and air movement it provides.

Debate: High-speed trains
Should China halt or slow down the expansion of its bullet train network after the July 23 accident in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province? There are three diverse views on the subject.
1、Tragedy exposes railway system flaws
Hexie is the Chinese word for harmony. It was also the name of the Chinese high-speed train that crashed into another bullet train on July 23, an accident deadly enough to make the name sound like an empty slogan.
The tragedy turned the long-held fear that China's fast-expanding rail network is vulnerable to major disasters into reality.
2、Criticism of China out of context
China's railways - including the 8,000 kilometers of high-speed tracks - is symbolic of the changing world. It symbolizes the rise of not only China, but also a new Asia, bold and confident, proud and daring.
Logic demands that China be saluted for its success in the fast rail system. It should be encouraged, too, because fast train networks not only improve lives, but also save lives and protect the environment. Accidents should be met with grief, but frankly speaking, they change nothing about correctness of a course. There is and should be no going back on the fast rail network for China.
3、The price of high speed is too high
China's bullet trains have been competing aggressively with the Europeans and Japanese for contracts in places as diverse as Iran, Russia and even California. It remains to be seen if China's high-speed trains can still conquer the world. But one thing is for certain - they will no longer be breaking world speed records.
Which view do you agree with?
