What the heck is a roof swamp cooler?
Enjoyed the question (and xln't response!).
Interesting how very common terminology just doesn't apply in some parts of the country.
Besides the desert (hot, dry climates), roof mounted (whole house) "Swamp Coolers" were very common in parts of Los Angeles when the San Fernando Valley was first developed.
Plenty are still there - although most have been replaced by refer units.
However, many businesses still use swamp coolers for areas that are not practical for refer units (workshop areas, etc.).
