This is moving away from the discussion but think you can answer my
question.

Many years ago, when I lived in the San Fernando Valley I had a
refrigeration unit. The humidity levels there were marginal for use of
a swamp cooler. However, with 30% RH they would provide some cooling.

What bothered me was the compressor/condenser sitting out in the sun at
115 degrees. I had thoughts about getting a window type swamp cooler
and sitting it on the ground by the unit and blowing cooled air on the
coils. I never have heard of anyone doing that.

The 30% RH came with temperatures in the 90s. At 115 the RH was usually
very low.

Do you think that set-up would be worthwhile?

Rheam at that time did make a unit with copper coils. It had pump that
sprayed water on the coils. It had a water tank like a swamp cooler.
About 1/3 the way down the coils was a small trough that caught a little
water which was drained off, keeping the mineral content down.

I remember an office building that had a fountain that was actually the
cooling pond for their air conditioner. They had to raise the fountain
nozzles to get more evaporation when the water got too warm.
