Evaporative Cooler Buying GuideIn optimal conditions, an evaporative cooler can lower the temperature by as much as 20° F. Modern swamp coolers use simple technology and electrical power to provide a cooling effect. A motor essentially pumps water into water-soaked, fibrous pads, while a fan powered by a separate motor pushes air through the pad. In arid climates, the entering air is hot and dry and the water will be evaporated. Not only does this decrease the ambient temperature, but it also makes the environment more comfortable because the chilled air is always re-circulated and somewhat damp.
