[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16262714, member: 181885"] This is good advice. Those evap coolers work great when you're working outside on a hot day, but you need the massive ones. We're talking $3000+ for those systems. The little ones that are advertised for home use in the $200-$500 range aren't going to really cool anything. You could get a $15 box fan put a $5 mister nozzle on it and get better results. They also increase the humidity (which is why they don't work well in humid environments, same reason why sweating doesn't do much on humid days) and aren't recommended if you're around materials that are sensitive to humidity. Plus, you run the risk of mold when running them indoors, even if you use the additives they recommend. The place I used to work at had about 3 of the large PortaCool systems, but we weren't allowed to use them indoors because it caused surface rust / corrosion on everything. They are fantastic for outdoor work because they don't draw much current to run the fans, so a power inverter or small generator can run a large unit. Otherwise, an AC system beats them out in every other aspect. That's an insane deal. The Mitsu equivalent would run $3.5k. [/QUOTE]
