evaporative cooler efficiency boost/loss by location
hello!
sorry to be asking a ? regarding SWAMP COOLERS, haha,
but i am wondering about moving my window unit into
the house...
it will be over 100F outside on many days here in the
california desert and i want to keep just the main room
as close to 72/75ish as i can get...
i havent installed this window-mount evaporative cooler
yet and was wondering about its performance if it was
just set inside the house. i realize that it will then suck
in air that is already humid and am wondering how that
will effect its performance... i wont have to build some
monstrosity outside one of the windows this way and
thought it might actually get the house even cooler as
it wouldnt have to cool the outside air which as i
stated, can be over 100 deg F.
will having the unit inside the home make it ugly-humid
in here as it re-humidifies more than just bringing in
the fresh (but probably hotter) air from outdoors?
thanks for opinions on the matter!

PS- sorry if i put this in the wrong subforum or if evaporative coolers arent covered by you guys...
happy 2009 and pleasant cooling!

Re: evaporative cooler efficiency boost/loss by location
they need to work with outside air,
they wiill be less effective if you move it inside
it will become a humidifier
they need to cool off outside air, presurrize your house and then let air escape out some other cracked open window so the humidity level does not rise too highTake the V out of HVAC and you are left with a HAC job

Plus, won't the wifey mind this noisy thing sitting in the house? It does need outside air to work best. Also, you'll need to keep a window slightly open or a product like up-duct(sp) installed. Just move to Idyllwild.
