Re: swamp cooler drawings
Check YOUTUBE for 'home made automotive swamp coolers'
The very best any could do is lower the temp. by 3 deg. below outside ambient temp. and introduce excess humidity to the interior. (probably just as pointless as a replica.)

Re: swamp cooler drawings
They work best in a very dry climate, where the increase in humidity actually helps.

The hardest part was finding an intercooler to fit a commercial ice chest cooler, I suppose you could build a cooler box to fit a suitable sized intercooler. I got the intercooler, and bilge pump ,assorted 4" stainless couplings and rubber hose connectors off eBay, and the ice chest from mallwart. I've got a tad more than $100 in the whole rig. It gets hot in GA too, and it's way too humid here for a swamp cooler to work at all. |
