Talking Evaporative Coolers (Evap Coolers) with Phoenix Manufacturing

What is an evaporative cooler and how does it work?

The MEDIA is the pad inside the evap cooler.

Explains the ‘swamp cooler stigma’.

Aspen pads (media) have a great saturation efficency. Temperature cooling happens with evaporation off the pad from a reservoir of water in the cooler.

Warehouses used evaps to cool large areas more efficently.

Why would someone use an evap cooler for the home today? Lower cost on electric bill and fresh air.

Evap coolers were common in Arizona homes for decades. Discussion on why they’ve lost ground.

Explanation of evap coolers and reduced efficency during monsoon season and shifting humidity. It involves an understanding between a ‘wet bulb’ and ‘dry bulb’ temperature.

Evap coolers and air conditioners can be installed together in a home, but must run separately to get the best efficency.

Savings in electricity usage is a motor in an evap versus a compressor in an A/C unit.

Many changes in evap coolers. They can run on a thermostat and more efficent media.

Maintenance required on an evap cooler is simple and you can do on your own.

Evaps coolers force outside and blow cooler air into your patio and garage space.

See Phoenix Manufacturing evap cooler products. They’re not the old evap coolers your grandparents had.

Portables are easy to setup. Water in the reservior, media (pad) in place, plug in. A great way to adapt in the desert enviroment and cool your outdoor space. Low cost, efficient.
