Is a Swamp Cooler more efficient with many or fewer openings for venting?

Hi, Swamp coolers are not a big thing in my area because of the high moisture content normally in our air.
They are most effective in very dry hot air climate situations.
The answer to your question is rather simple because the whole purpose of the system is to evaporate the cool water by the dry air which in turn has a refrigerating effect on that air.
If you do not have adequate outlets then the air will become saturated and humid and moist rendering it not only but humid as well eventually.
Things need to be balanced for best operation and most efficient operation to be achieved.
To much of anything is not good, but, then the opposite also holds true.
In the world of engineering you find everything to be a compromise.
Its always variable and a give and take.
Same goes for your system.
Imagine yourself as the engineer and using a very high tech piece of analyzing equipment to set your system to its best point for your likes.

Why does the desert cooler not work in the rainy season?
The desert (swamp) cooler depends upon evaporation of water for cooling. During the rainy season the air is already pretty much saturated with water vapor so little water evaporates from the cooler and they become inefficient. They are most efficient when the relative humidity is below 20%.
What is more comfortable air-conditioning or swamp cooler?
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.
Could a portable swamp cooler be be made to work better on high humidity days by using it concurrently with a room dehumidifier?
Yes, in theory, but impractical in execution. A swamp cooler normally pulls in outside air to treat, not inside air. If they are set up to recirculate inside air, they will over humidify the air, and cause sweating problems. A dehumidifier will be adding heat from the compressor into the space while it does its' job, while you then have three motors running (dehumidifier, pump, fan). For that running price, I think you could air condition your space. Those energy use calculations can be run, and you could determine it for sure. Find an engineering student to help you; it sounds like an interesting set of questions.
What is swamp resistor?
Resistor placed in the emitter lead of a transistor circuit to minimize the effects of temperature on the emitter-base junction resistance.
Are swamp coolers effective?
the water's latent heat of vaporization is being pulled from the air, the water pulls heat from the room to undergo a phase change.
How do you replace the bearings in your swamp cooler?

Is a desert cooler or a swamp?
A desert is cooler because of the loneliness outside
How do you get mold out of your swamp cooler?
Put a lot of copper pennies in your swamp cooler. The copper will kill the mold using IONs or something.
Swamp cooler leak?
the best thing for a swamp cooler leak, is a copper pipe, or plumbing sealant, its similar to jb weld, only its waterproof, and made for leaks.
Do Home windows have to be open when using a swamp cooler?
Home windows do have to be open when you are using a swamp cooler. You do not open them all the way, they should be opened part way.
How AC is better than desert cooler?
On humid days, such as during the rainy season, swamp (desert) coolers are not very efficient at cooling the air. Air conditioners are not affected by high humidity.
Why does the desert cooler not work in the rainy season?
The desert (swamp) cooler depends upon evaporation of water for cooling. During the rainy season the air is already pretty much saturated with water vapor so little water evaporates from the cooler and they become inefficient. They are most efficient when the relative humidity is below 20%.
Why does your swamp cooler blow slow air?
Its not the air thats slow its you
What temperature is swamp cooler air?
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.
How long should you leave a swamp cooler pump on?
5 to 10 min
Where are the fuses in a swamp cooler?
There should be one near to the input power connection.
