evaporative coolers as compared to air conditioning?

A evaporative cooler cools the space by evaporating water and using the latent heat of vaporization to cool the air. It works great in low humidity climates, where yo can knock off 30 degrees from the ambient air. I live in Phoenix, Arizona , and in June when it is 110 and dry as a bone, , I can get damp 80 degree air in my workshop. In Late July, during our humid season, It is still 110, with 50-60 percent humidity, I get 90 degrees damp air. Not so good. On REALLY humid days, (70-80% +) at 110, I get 100 degree humid air. Very bad. If your rainy season is the same as your hot season, this won't work very well. If you have nice, dry hot air, works great!

I can tell you what a evaporative cooler is. it has water running to the cooler, it has a float in it when it gets full of water it shuts it off, and it has a pump to get the pads wet so the air is cool when it is blowed into the house. As for the Philippines i don`t see why not.

Check the weather, if the dew point is above 50 an evaporative cooler will not be effective in your area.

If you normally have high humidity it will not work properly. A better option would probably be a ductless ac unit. For more info on evaporative coolers see the swamp cooler page at my source.

Previous poster is correct; but what is it? Evaporative cooling can be acheived in its' simplest form by just wetting a towel and draping it over what you want to cool. Better ones use a porous ceramic (fired but unglazed clay) stood in a bowl of water - relying on capillary action to draw water up into the structure and evaporate thus cooling it. Compared to a/c it is not much good but it is cheap and does work without power.
