What’s the difference between the Coolerado and a swamp cooler?

I am a licensed HVAC contractor and am always looking for greener solutions for my customers. This looks interesting but I suspect it will need further development before marketing to consumers on the local level. Until then there are geothermal systems that allow you to realize up to 60% energy savings vs. traditional systems. There is no flame, no flue, no odors and no loud outdoor equipment. Heating, air conditioning and hot water can all be attained from a single compact unit. http://www.myorlandoac.com/

I really do not understand all of the negativity coming from the tree hugging community; So the unit uses water–the water vapor is absorbed into the atmosphere–where it can begin the process of osmosis through the tonoplast membranes of certain kinds of plants, and possibly enhance the life of a tree or two in the long run! As for the comments about it being a generic swamp cooler–wow, how is it possible for someone to miss the point more. Granted, a swamp cooler uses water as does this unit, but that is the end of the similarities. The comment about the solar unit in the window–this comment is off the point as well–which is better to release into the atmosphere, R-12 or H20? End of that discussion. This unit is a HUGE step in the right direction. If our footprint can be reduced from a size 12 to a size 11 1/2, it is a step in the right direction–In this case though we’re talking about going from a 12 to a 6–WOW! We are talking about eliminating the need for Coal Fired Power, in turn eliminating damage to the atmosphere through all of the different chemicals involved with the process, no more mercury being introduced to the environment from the power generation process, no more need for the loss of refrigerants into the atmosphere in turn elimating the degradation of the ozone caused by them. Oh yeah and the Techie dude talking about batteries–have you ever seen a fuel cell that looks just like a capacitor the size of a beer can–i have an inverter that you install a 12 pack of those beer can looking thingies (not batteries)and I can run a 40 amp service for 3 days straight Without the aid of the solar panels that are hooked to them normally. Yeah, really, It Is Like FM (Freaking Magic) Yeah dude, You aught to look into that! Look, I have absolutely no investment into this equipment or the company that makes it (AT LEAST NOT YET THAT IS), But I have been a lowly industrial wireman for the last 25 years, and I cannot find a single flaw with this unit! I would give my left (imagine any body part you like) to be a part of an outfit that is going to be the pioneer into the technology such as this–this could match the empire of Bill Gates before long, and it would be built by making an environmentally friendly product which actually gives back to the environment. I say if you are reserved about jumping on board, go ahead look the other way, but don’t Knock something like this that has the potential to make such a big contribution to this planet. I am going to do everything that I possibly can to Jump On Board!! It’s my opinion, take it for what it is worth to you!

So, you are saying that any green technology is not viable today because of the manufacturing process? How about a wind turbine or solar panel? The producing lifespan of a wind turbine or a solar panel for outweighs the amount of energy to produce them. Solar panels can last 20-25 years producing energy. Just how much energy do you think it takes to make a panel? Ok, now how about this? What if you are the manufacturing and produce solar panels, which you install on the factory to meet your energy requirements to make more panels? Wouldn’t that bring down the carbon footprint of production?

Ok im not an engineer but i am a highly trained and expeienced hvac technician,installer and innovation/gadget nut. let me start by saying water nuetral sounds like some gov’t language used to cover the fact that something is b/s. You cant save money on green power sources yet, the technology just isnt there,period. we can try to add batteries to stuff,make stuff run on solar,dual fuel or hybrids,all of these things need power to manufacture,ship,service,and whatever other processes neede to get the product to the end user…

case in point a toyota prius hybrid when all factors of energy usage from star of manufacture to end of effective lifespan will have consumed more energy than a Hummer H1 (thats the really big one).

oh yeah and the Hummer has a life expectancy twice as long as the prius.

anyway, solar is the future, but until someone can come up with a cell that is actually energy efficient and cost effective, we’re married to conventional methods of producing and consuming energy.

Looks like an interesting product, will be a great innovation if it can work as well as it is made out too.

Well I must say its good to see people are trying to make a difference on our ever so dying planet! First of all I will not knock the Coolerado its a low powered swamp cooler that can run from a renewable energy source! I have already built and patented the first ever many years ago along with RP Banning Ca the problem is there is not a large market! good luck guys hope there is no IP problems here. Joey thanks for the plug on GreenPRM! there you will find a true solar powered air conditioning unit,it does use mechanical cooling only using a few oz of 134a refrigerant. the unit ranges from 13,200 BTU’s to 20,00 BTU’s and can run from all power supplys available! All you greeny’s remember you have to feed the beast so dont complain about the cost of solar! you wanted it here it is 24vdc @ 40 amps! 13,000 BTU’s

runnin straight off your panels.Dont have 1000 watts of solar well what ever you do have for solar will have to do plug it in and let the 120v make up the difference add panels as your budget allows until you get there! There are on board batteries so the unit can run during outages how ever long you want!just have to size your battery bank for your desired outage run time! Guys this thing really is the Coolest way to go Green!
