Show 'I I I I Tha Magna Valley News, August 1 , 2002 TimeAVet 7 Business Central air vs. swamp coolers for summer cooling With record high temperatures throughout the state during the past month, Utahns are all looking for the best way to neat the heat, while energy officials are looking for ways to meet increasing energy demands. This brings in the question "What is the best way to keep cool but still be economical? The following is a "tale of the tape" for central air conditioners versus evaporative coolers, also known as tain than CAC. Most of that cost is for water used by the coolers CAC use an average of 1,600 more kilowatt hours per year than evaporative "swamp coolers". The initial investment for an Evaporative swamp cooler ' is $J ,000 less than for a .direct expansion ( the typical type) central air conditioner. coolers. That's enough energy to provide a typical Evaporative coolers cost $63 more per year to main ChamberWest honors Kent Winder Kent Winder, left, was honored by ChamberWest Board of Directors chairman Mike Skousen at the July membership luncheon for his organization of the Chamber's most successful Scholarship and Awards dinner. This year, the dinner raised $3,500 in scholarships, an Increase of $2,500 from what was raised in 2001. Scholarship monies will go to local high school students. Attendance at the dinner was up by 40 percent with 250 attendees, compared to 145 in attendance last year. The dinner included a Hawaiian luau with live Polynesian entertainment and a live auction.

In the past, the most common evaporative coolers has a cooling potential of 0 degrees, which is out of the comfortable range of many people but the newest coolers can cool to temperatures or 0 degrees, a more acceptable comfort level. This is close to the potential of CAC. Air conditioners don't produce humidity to the extent of evaporative coolers. During the life of the unit, evaporative cooler consumers can expect to save approximately $1,400 with overall savings to society as a whole (including all system costs for production and distribution of electricity) of nearly $3,000. Energy demands are at an high in Utah. This is, is part, due to that high temperatures. It can also be attributed, however, to the fact that more people are using central air conditioners than ever before. New homes are being built with CAC and many people are converting from evaporative swam coolers to 75-8- CAC. In 1960, only 12 percent of U.S. homes were air conditioned. Today 80 percent are. Swamp coolers use substantially less energy and save money compared to CAC. The humidity factor in 65-7- swamp coolers is something that you either love or hate. If you are one of those people who don't mind humidity, swamp coolers are a great way to beat the heat while saving money and energy. Those who have CAC. can save three percent on their electricity costs for every degree that the thermostat is set above 72 degrees. If the thermostat is set at 78. it can save 8 per- all-ti- 1 cent in energy costs.
