The History of Evaporative CoolingThe History of Evaporative Cooling
Evaporative cooling is the oldest form of air conditioning ever used
The ancient Greeks used to fill terracotta pots full of water and leave them by doors and windows to benefit from evaporative cooling
The Arabs hung wet blankets over doors and windows to achieve the same effect
The physics of evaporative coolingThe physics of evaporative cooling
Evaporative cooling is a natural phenomenon that
occurs when moving air passes over a wetted medium
or water source, i.e. fountain, river, sea, shower, etc.
The human body uses evaporative cooling through
sweating to maintain a constant body temperature.
The physics of evaporative coolingThe physics of evaporative cooling
Warm dry air when passing over water liberates some of
the water in the form of an evaporate. This adiabatic
process converts sensible heat (that which can be
measured by a thermometer) into latent heat.

The net result is air which has measurably lower
temperatures than ambient air (approximately 6-7 oC for
typical Irish summer temperatures) but has increased
levels of relative humidity
