Make This #DIY #SwampCooler

Make summer heat a little more bearable with a do-it-yourself evaporative cooler.

"Swamp coolers will not provide relief in areas with high humidity, since they add humidity to the room."

Becca Lewis, August 17, 2023

"A swamp cooler, also known as an evaporative cooler, pulls air into a container and over water or ice, causing an energy exchange in which the heat in the air is absorbed by the surface of the ice or water, cooling the surrounding air. This process is known as 'evaporative cooling,' and works a lot like sweating does on your body. You can purchase a swamp cooler, or make one yourself relatively inexpensively. The DIY set-up uses a cheap commercial fan to pull air across ice or water to accomplish the evaporative cooling result."
