Swamp coolers/evaporative cooling VS. portable air conditioners
Interesting old thread. I was wondering about heat issues in my room as well. I'm on a tight budget (around $200). Humidity in the summer around here is between 10% and 30% and the temperature is between 85 and 105 most days. It's cooler in the mornings (around 60-70) but with slightly higher humidity(35-50%)
I'm thinking that a swamp cooler would work best since it doesn't use very much power, and I don't have and windows to mount an AC unit. I have a good filtration system which I believe should limit the effects of the swamp cooler raising humidity. I've also got a dehumidifier just in case.
Anyone have any experiences with swamp coolers inside grow rooms in a dry climate?stormin94 Reviewed by stormin94 on . Swamp coolers/evaporative cooling VS. portable air conditioners Hey guys. Its getting hotter out now, and My temps are reaching near 90F :mad: I rent, so cant put big air conditioner in room. But I saw these $300 portable air conditioners. I know that would work wonders But price... Then I saw these Swamp coolers. They say they will cool a room down from 80F to 65F. But They push out 100 percent humidity unlike portable air conditioners. My question is, has anyone used a swamp cooler? And if so, will getting a Dehimidifyer solve the problem? Rating: 5
