So, if you have a large fan and need some extra cooling it might be
worth a try... Even putting damp laundry on an airer and blowing air
though it should lower the air temperature some way.
cheers,

Interesting bit of DIY - personally I'd question increasing the humidity
or the air in the house any further, but if the results suit you then
congratulations! Try overnight - see if it helps getting a decent nights
kip in this weather.
Nice to see someone else has also found they can work. There seems to
be a fair bit of argument over evap coolers in our damp climate. From
what I've observed, they do work at providing cooling in a small zone
right in front of the fan, and if youre willing to sit next to one this
makes quite a comfort difference on hot days. The requirements for
cooling a building and just providing a local coolspot are different.
