Abstract:
An apparatus for cooling the ambient air in a structure, the apparatus comprising:a plurality of air supply ductwork systems associated with a structure, the plurality comprising at least a first ductwork system and a second ductwork system; an evaporative cooler having a water reservoir and a cooled air output connection to an air flow control mechanism; and a refrigerated air-conditioning system having a water-cooled condenser coupled to the evaporative cooler reservoir and a cooled air output connection to the air flow control mechanism; wherein the air flow control mechanism is configured to receive output air flows from the evaporative cooler and from the refrigerated air-conditioning system, and the flow control mechanism is operative to add at least portions of the output air flows from both the evaporative cooler and the refrigerated air-conditioning system together to form a combined air flow, and direct the combined air flow to at least one of the plurality of air supply ductwork systems.
