Ok I have a lot of DIY exp so I can build a box and run the ducting and electric with ease.
The problem I have been thinking about is how to humidify and cool the air here.
I live in the Vegas Valley so it often gets 110+F and the humidity is often 20% or less.
I had thought about buying on old fridge ( maybe the smaller dorm size ones) and running pipe through it as a reverse radiator.
Of course that would be best with copper pipe and that cost $$$$. pvc would work but I still would not have the humidity I seek even if I ran it around inside the fridge enough to cool it.
My mind wandered back to my days working in the body shop biz as a painter.
It was 2 WIFEtimes ago but we had a water wash system that cleaned the air leaving the spray booth.
So I got to thinking I could kill 2 birds with one stone if I percolated the air coming in through water.
It would cool it and pick up h2o all at once.
I was thinking maybe an old cooler. Then if I needed to I could always add some ice/ frozen 2 liter bottles or whatever to chill the water.
I tried to sketch up a quick idea I am about to try and add the pic to this post.
I welcome any input and thank
My fan would pull the air though the cooler and into the grow box.
I am also thinking it may be even better to run the pipe into a old fridge, and then through water container inside the fridge. as I could set it and forget it as the fridge would keep the water a set temp
you all for your time !

My swamp cooler doesn't work that well lately either.... Tried the frozen water bottles to keep temps down in my last summer rdwc grow... worked well but was a twice a day water bottle change, pia...
