[FRIAM] evaporative cooling

[thompnickson2 at gmail.com]

A technical question for you high-desert scientists:

 

How far can one take evaporative cooling?  With dewpoint temperatures in the
teens, how far down can the output of a swamp cooler be.  This relates to a
question I asked you all in the dead of winter: given a dewpoint temperature
way below freezing, what is the warmest shade temperature at which an icicle
can form. 

 

This is the kind of question that a Massachusetts resident would never think
of, let alone ponder on.
