The original design allowed for addition of a 'cooling' module to

How was that going to work? Evaporation of water? Known colloquially in
industry as a Swamp Cooler, as it cooled the air while raising the
humidity. Only worth doing in dry areas, in which the UK is not
included. Arizona is a decent bet.



This was a going to be a powered cooler ... compressor based I assume
based of 2.5Kw expected current draw.

What was unclear was where teh waste hot air was going (assume loft space)
