New Use For Swamp Cooler – as a Chilled Water Loop
When working at a building in Sunnyvale, CA we were planning to place a new chiller and chilled water loop in operation for a customer, while there we ran across the equipment pad and saw the equipment in the photo below. We weren’t sure whether to be in awe of the cleverness of the designer for this equipment configuration or wonder why something like this was created. What you see in this picture is a car radiator married to a swamp cooler and the swamp cooler blows cooled air through it. In the San Francisco bay area of California the swamp cooler will cool the ambient air 15 degrees. This means that if it is 90 degrees outside – the air out of the swamp cooler will be 75 degrees.
