It is 100 degrees in the valley, but I refuse to go. Here in the mountains it is 81 degrees and 30% humidity, not miserable, but worth a little cooling.
Swamp cooler on with no outside air to intake because it is very dry, running on low fan. Windows blocked out with sunshades, Reflectix. Penthouse down. Inside started at 81 degrees.
Half hour later outside was 82 degrees. Inside was 80 at the counter with humidity up to 40%. Floor temperature where the hose is was 79. Turned the fan to high.
Hour later outside was 82 degrees. Inside was 81 with humidity up to 45% counter and floor. Turned fan to low again and cracked a window so it would have outside air.
Hour and 45 later 80 degrees outside. Inside was 83 and humidity up to 45%.
No way it is going to cool this much space. However I took it outside, sat in the shade with one hose down my pants and one blowing on my face and was very cool.
Next test will be sitting in the shade in really hot weather and see if I am still comfortable.
