What is the difference between Air Conditioning and Evaporative cooling?
The Evaporate cooling system is cheaper than Air Conditioning. But Air conditioning works on higher level air cooling than EC. EC does not use hazardous gases for cooling air, it naturally cools air.
The air conditioner uses the compressor for cooling process and EC doesn’t use it.
Air conditioning maintains the level of cooling in all weather conditions but EC fails in this task. Evaporate cooling system does not have an outdoor unit to throw the hot air outside. And this is the advantage of Air Conditioning that it throws the hot air outside and create a cooler environment inside the room or home.
Summary: Many people like Evaporative Cooling as the cool air feels like an ocean breeze. However if you prefer colder dry air you need to expend the energy to operate an Air Conditioner. Many people prefer the ocean breezes produced by Evaporative Coolers rather than the dry air of an Air Conditioner. However if the humidity is oppressive or you cannot provide proper ventilation to an area you must typically use an Air Conditioner. See #2 regarding humidity determination. The following are brief examples of the differences between A/C and evaporative cooling: a. You must not recirculate air cooled by evaporation back into the Evaporative Cooler. You may recirculate air cooled by an air conditioner back into the Air Conditioner. b. You must allow proper Ventilation like having outside air drawn into an Evaporative Cooler and provide an air escape through a window(s) or door, which helps keep your cooled air fresh. Normally you do not allow outside air to circulate through an Air condit
