Swamp coolers, is a term that refers to a cooling tower composed of a device that moves air through a medium where water passes over. These swamp coolers work well to add moisture to normally dry air. This type of cooling system are usually found in very dry climates and cost very little to operate compared to air conditioners.
Its not the air thats slow its you
It is a function of the "dew point" of the air at any given moment. If relative humidity is high, the dew point will also be high and the swamp cooler air will be relatively warm. If relative humidity is low, the dew point will also be low and the swamp cooler air will be relatively cold. A swamp cooler in Phx AZ will put out air about 30 degrees less than the outside air, and works more efficiently when the humidity outside is very low.
The Unit being in Sun or Shade will have NO effect on how well a Swamp Cooler performs. Operation of Swamp / Evaporative Cooler effectiveness is determined by Ambient temperature / dew point and relative humidity. They are optimum in Dry / Hot / Low Humid climates such as found in the South West Desert areas of the U.S. The higher the Humidity / Dew Point, the LESS EFFECTIVE a Swamp / Evaporator Cooler will be. They cool by adding moisture to the Air. So the higher the Humidity is, the more the moisture content is in the air already, thus being less effective. Air can only support so much moisture before it starts to condensate. ( You will then start to feel Sticky and less comfortable ) Again, the Unit being in the Sun, verses being in the Shade, WILL NOT change the Coolers effectiveness in operation.
A desert is cooler because of the loneliness outside
Yes, it is recommended to leave windows open when using a swamp cooler. This allows for proper circulation and ventilation, as the cooler draws in fresh air from outside. Keeping windows open also helps to prevent the air in your space from becoming too humid.
Swamp cooler, fans, ceiling fans.
Sure. Just shut the betroom door and turn the swamp cooler air vent off. Start up the A/C and enjoy cool dry air.

A desert cooler, also called a swamp cooler, depends on low humidity and evaporation to cool the air. It loses efficiency when the humidity is high, such as during the rainy season. Less water will evaporate when the air is already nearly saturated with water.
I have a mobile home and the swamp cooler is broken and so during summer my home is so..... Hot inside as if you were in a sauna even turning on all the fans and having all the windows open to let cool air in yet still it does not even cool down my mobile home...
If one has gone on fishing or hunting trip in the swamp and need to bring a drinks cooler along, it is possible that you can keep your drinks cool for several hours. All that is needed is an electric cooler that can be charged using an adapter to plug into your car.
Swamp coolers only work well in areas with low humidities, such as the desert. They are only capable of lowering the temperature by about 20 degrees if the humidity is quite low. An air conditioner would be much cooler.
Arizona has a much lower humidity.
Warm air is less dense than cooler air.
The cool air will sink and the warm air will rise.
