CONT

Evaporative coolers offer, when water is available, an alternative to refrigerated cold stores (especially in dry, low humidity air conditions) and there have been efforts to promote them in many developing countries. They can reduce temperature by 10–15 °C and maintain high humidity, which is beneficial to quality of horticultural produce for example.
