It uses evaporative cooling. the principle works really well in hot areas with low relative humidity. Many homes in Salt Lake city have tis kind of cooling. However, it does not work well in areas that are hot and humid. The air already has a ton of moisture, so there is less 'opportunity' for evaporative cooling.
