The currently recognized version of the list is usually given as wrath,greed,

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:

  • 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.
