ALTHOUGH EVAPORATIVE COOLING IS DEPENDENT ON THE DESIGN WET BULB TEMPERATURE, IT IS A TECHNIQUE THAT IS NOT LIMITED TO HOT DRY AREAS. ALTHOUGH THESE AREAS CAN, IN MOST CASES, UTILIZE DIRECT EVAPORATIVE COOLING YEAR-ROUND, THIS METHOD OF COOLING CAN BE COST EFFECTIVE FOR MOST AREAS. IT IS A COOLING METHOD THAT CAN BE USED FOR VIRTUALLY ANY AIR COOLING APPLICATION, FROM SPOT COOLING OF HEAT TREAT WORK STATIONS TO INDOOR COMFORT COOLING. WITH SKYROCKETING UTILITY RATES, IT IS TIME TO TAKE A LOOK BACK TO FIND THAT EVAPORATIVE COOLING, A TECHNIQUE OVERLOOKED FOR MANY YEARS, IS A METHOD OF ACHIEVING SUBSTANTIAL ENERGY SAVINGS.
