Does a swamp cooler work better in sun or shade?

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.
