I wish I could get one of those Aussie units in Northern California. We are pretty much stuck with stamped sheet metal units with aspen wood shaving pads and a belt driven squirrel cage fan. They rust out every 7 years or so and need replacement. Mine is cheap to run but I must pay attention to the psychrometric chart before using the unit. Sometimes we get humidity at less than 10%. The house is sufficiently insulated to stay closed up and cool until late afternoon and the cooler might be utilized for a few hours in the evening. I pay about $0.39 a kilowatt hour for sometimes unreliable electricity and refrigerant AC units are getting expensive to run. My swamp cooler burns 395 watts on low speed and 675 watts on high speed, entirely acceptable.
Thanks for your comment. We had the same style of cooler you mention approximately 15 years ago. Since then the improved technology has improved the efficiency and capabilities of the coolers considerably, with one of the main reasons being the use of Chill-cell cooler pads. I know our manufcaturer Seeley internationl exports all over the worls, so maybe you could reach out to them and see if they have a distributor in your region. www.seeleyinternational.com/ Good Luck.
@@kimmer6 Thats great news. If you don't mind sending us your name and email on a Private message, we can then pass it on to the local team, and see if it makes its way to your local distributor. Please send to: sales@dawsonhc.com.au We hope it all works out for you.
Long story short, evaporative cooling doesn't really work very well in cities and towns north of the Victorian border - How they've ended up being installed all over Queensland is beyond me. What I've found is that Aussies and Americans are the only people who have been duped into buying evaporative cooling in humid environments...
Thanks for your comment. As noted in our video, we have suggested that "Evaporative cooling works best in "Hot, Dry, Low Humidity and non coastal climates". It is most definitely a personal preference. Many people in humid climates would prefer to use reverse cycle systems, but there is also still some people out there that prefer evaporative cooling for their own personal reasons. Hopefully this video helps educate people on the Pro's and Con's for both options to help choose a solution that best suites their needs. Have a great day.
That was excellent, the only video that clearly explained the answer I was looking for
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the positive feedback.
Have a great day.
is reverse cycle aircon warm enough at winter? thanks
If i may, i'd add that evaporative system adds humidity indoors and reverse cycle cooling removes humidity from indoor air.
That is correct and thanks for your comment. Have a great day.
