Since I have time now... :) Looking to build a 2-dog house that will have 6'x10' enclosed portion that I'd like to cool during the summer. Not interested in window units. How best to cool that ~60 sq ft is the ask here. Full Texas sun, will have it insulated, solar power would be ideal but 120v power could be made available. Ideas please. |

Build a smaller Swamp cooler.. plenty of ideas on YouTube. ETA:  Homemade Evap. Air Cooler - The "5 Gallon Bucket" Swamp Cooler! DIY - can be solar powered! I’ve used one like this while hunting/ fishing & camping in the back of a truck, a cargo van, and a wall tent. Worked pretty good. |

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

If It's a permanent structure is there any reason you couldn't rent a trencher and bury a nice long run of pipe with an input, output and inline booster fan to make a geothermal AC? If the run is long enough you should be able to maintain 55-60 output and it only costs you electrically to run a fan. It wouldn't work for a house, but it doesn't take much air to cool a doghouse. |
