Evaporative Cooling
Greenhouse Swamp Cooler Systems
While some plants thrive in heat, others require a cooler environment to stay healthy. A greenhouse evaporative cooling system—often called a swamp cooler—is one of the most effective ways to reduce temperatures in small to midsize greenhouses, particularly in dry climates. By adding moisture to the air, these greenhouse cooling units can lower temperatures by as much as 40°F, creating a comfortable and stable environment for your plants.
Efficient Greenhouse Cooling Units
Greenhouse Megastore carries swamp coolers from QuietCool and other top manufacturers, available in sizes for DIY setups, commercial greenhouses, garages, enclosed patios, and workshops. Each greenhouse evaporative cooling system works by moving air across water-saturated aspen pads or rigid media pads, lowering temperatures while also improving air circulation.
You have the choice of a thru-wall, portable or wet-wall greenhouse cooler. Though-wall coolers are the most efficient system and provide the freshest air while portable swamp coolers give you versatility to cool different areas. A self-contained greenhouse cooler wall is best for large areas, though additional fans will be needed to circulate the cooled air.

What is the best way to cool a greenhouse in hot weather?
A greenhouse evaporative cooling system, or swamp cooler, is one of the most effective methods. It lowers temperatures by evaporating water into the air while improving airflow.
Do evaporative coolers work in humid climates?
Evaporative coolers are most effective in dry regions. In humid climates, they still provide air circulation but may not lower temperatures as much.
What size evaporative cooler do I need for my greenhouse?
The right size depends on your greenhouse’s square footage and airflow needs. Larger greenhouses may require a thru-wall or wet-wall system, while smaller setups can use portable swamp coolers.
How often do greenhouse cooler pads need to be replaced?
Aspen pads may last one cooling season, while rigid media pads can last several years. Regular maintenance and cleaning extend pad life and keep your cooling system efficient.
