A/C Condenser Evaporative Cooling Assist
I am wondering if any company offers an evaporative cooler designed to reduce RV A/C condenser inlet air temp to assist in 95+ deg temps? I designed such a system (inspired by some mechanical engineer...

Chum lee,
I get it that you understand the technical concept of evaporative cooling to assist the A/C by significantly reducing condenser temperature. Your responses however seem to suggest that this is an impractical solution looking for a suitable problem. I have already demonstrated to myself how well it works on a home residential system under extreme temp conditions. I would agree that under normal camping conditions there is no need to assist an RV A/C. It is the extreme high ambient temperature conditions that I routinely run into every year (as do others camping in Jul/ Aug here in TX) where the heat load exceeds the A/C BTU capacity (which unfortunately is decreasing as temps go above 95) that would benefit.
Yes. Your idea is a good one but only within the narrow range of the application you want to use it for. IMO, most people want simple broad range solutions that work well ALL THE TIME because they are lazy (I am too) and don't want to be bothered with endless complicated technical issues. I encourage you to continue your education, work hard, build your experience, find solutions, and figure out a way to make them work.
