Understanding How a Swamp Cooler Works
Swamp coolers offer an affordable and effective way to cool your automotive shop during the sweltering summer months. Here's how they function:
What is a Swamp Cooler?
A swamp cooler is essentially a powerful fan equipped with water-soaked pads. As the fan operates, it draws in warm outside air through these pads, which cools the air down before it's circulated throughout a space. The pads, often made from aspen wood shavings, known as excelsior, or other moisture-absorbing materials, are designed to resist mildew. It's advisable to replace these pads every season or two, typically costing between $20 to $40 per set.
How It Works
Water is delivered via small lines to the top of the pads, soaking them. Gravity allows the water to trickle into a sump at the cooler's base. A pump then recirculates the water back to the top, continuing the cooling process. To compensate for water loss through evaporation, a float valve?"similar to those in toilet tanks?"automatically adds water when levels drop. On average, a swamp cooler uses between 3 to 15 gallons of water daily.
Cooling Process
The fan pulls air through the wet pads, cooling it by about 20 degrees through evaporation. This cooled air is then distributed inside. Smaller units can be installed in windows for direct room cooling, while larger models can channel air either centrally or through ductwork to reach multiple rooms.
Swamp Coolers vs. Traditional Air Conditioning
Traditional air conditioning recirculates interior air, requiring doors and windows to remain closed. In contrast, swamp coolers draw air from outside. For optimal performance, the cooled air should be allowed to escape, so it's beneficial to manage which doors and windows remain open to direct the airflow where needed.
