The question:<\/p>\n
What does “refrigeration” mean for cooling? An evaporator? Central air? Standing in the open fridge?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bravo! You have exposed one of the oozing wounds in the Arizona Regional Multiple Listings Service. Right there among all the utilities information, it will say “Refrigeration”.<\/p>\n
What does it mean?<\/p>\n
Refrigeration is distinguished from either an evaporative cooler, a wall air conditioning unit or nothing. An evaporative cooler — also known as a swamp cooler — works by blowing dry desert air through a burlap-like pad saturated with water. A certain amount of the water evaporates, cooling the air, which is then blown through the house as a crude form of air conditioning. An even cruder form of this cooling system was invented by Native Americans in the Southwest.<\/p>\n
Refrigeration, of course, is true central air conditioning. A noble gas is put under high pressure, causing it to cool substantially. This cold gas is forced through a radiator, as air is driven past the cold radiator fins. The cooled air is blown thorough the house.<\/p>\n
There is actually an interim step between the evaporative cooler and central air conditioning — the chiller system — a heating and cooling system not-unlike the radiator systems used Back East.<\/p>\n
Now you know more than you’d ever dreamed about desert cooling systems.
