does the air conditioner have a fan inside which draws the air in towards the cooling 'refridgerater' bars?????

I installed an evap cooler in a double wide trailer in China Lake (Mojave desert) where temps routinely get above 110 and even 120, and ground temps exceed that of the Sahara desert. Once it was up and running the difference in temp between outside and inside was dramatic. More than 30 degrees F difference. It was like walking into a dept store. Needless to say the client was very happy!

For folks in the states we call "air coolers" "evaporative coolers." They work great in dry climates, not so well in humid climates, but people use them in both. I used to install big box coolers. Some tips. It's advisable to have an air outlet on the opposite side of the house from the cooler. If you don't, the cooler will saturate your house with moisture, eventually causing mold and mildew build up which can ruin clothes, furniture, even sheetrock and wood. ECs work great in the desert!

What is wrong with a window unit? Well, only of course that some rooms do not have a window or a large enough hole to use one. Still I'd prefer a window unit. No need for hoses. :) Also it does not take up space in your room area.

Great info... thanks. Would have been nice to see/hear them operate. The scrolling info cut off some of the things you were pointing to.

Quite informative.

Someday, someone will invent a truly portable plug-in airconditioner. No hose, no connection to the outside. Impossible?
