replies: text: Theoretically devices like this can cool arbitrarily close to the dew point, which is what makes them effective in the dry desert climates. This also means that, apart from the SW US, Spain and Australia, they're quite useless in western countries. Right now the temperature in my room is 26⁰C, dew point is 22⁰C, so it would cool to about 23⁰C. I wouldn't buy a refrigerator like that, even if it costed me only €1. Which brings me to the point, the sentence about potential use in western countries can be removed. It's hardly encyclopedic anyway. If somebody thinks it is, just reinstate.

thread_title:  technical details? 

message: This system would appear to be ideal for chilly bins/coolers/ice boxes. A link from this article to such a product would be useful. I'll search for a link now 121.73.7.84 (talk) 12:11, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  chilly bins 

message: I found quite a lot that would be useful to add to this article, but also quite a lot that I can't verify. Can someone please take a look at these links and the references they cite (as applicable) and see if there's anything we can incorporate? Sutematsu (talk) 22:21, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additional References 

message: Before I added cites and additional info, I saw that the article mentioned that this type of refrigeration had been mentioned in hieroglyphics. However, I couldn't find anything to support this, and removed the reference. If someone else knows where we can get a reference to this, please add it. Sutematsu (talk) 22:25, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Is the "Pot-in-Pot Preservation Cooling System" technically any different? Is it not simply that Nigerians were generally unaware of the underlying technology - despite it having been used through Europe and North America for thousands of years.Royalcourtier (talk) 20:12, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

message: The last section reads like a commercial for the Nigerian pot-in-pot: "Pot-in-pot refrigeration has had multiple positive impacts on the population that uses them beyond the simple ability to keep food fresh for longer periods of time and decreasing instances of food-related disease", etc.Royalcourtier (talk) 20:17, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Commercial marketing 

message: Perhaps we can mention some discontinued popular evaporative coolers like the 
Osokool (see here). The top of this cooler was made of chalk and had an indentation into it in which you poured water. The evaporative effect of the wet chalk caused a temperature drop inside the box.
Also, perhaps we best mention Emily Cummins' evaporative cooler (see here and here)
