MessageThanks for the reply Jay,
I have been trying to find out more info on the web, and try to fill in =
the question of how air conditioner and evaporative coolers works.
On another hand, i found something like this in one of the local =
electronic retailer chain here.

Evaporative coolers MUST be in a dry environment to work correctly. =
If there is any kind of humidity present, then they will not work worth =
a flip. Problem with EC is that they are usually big and cumbersome and =
need to be outside to work really well.

Hi guys,
This is a question especially for those of you who have or planning =
on building an enclose cockpit (especially for the f16), i.e. with a =
canopy. How do you deal with temperature that will bound to build up =
within the pit?
=20
Heat generated from all the electronics, backlid panels, extra =
monitors (If you are not using a projector) and your own body heat
The only reason why I want to have a canopy is not for aesthetic but =
for "Sound proofing" myself when I talk over RW (because I share room).I =
dont want to "premanently" sound proofing myself by suffercating myself =
from within the cockpit. Turning the pit into a coffin :)=20
To make matter worse I live in a flat where I cant break any walls =
to put in a ducted reverse cycle air cond... I have grills and bars on =
my windows to keep out intruders so no way I can put in a wall/window =
mounted air cond. My only hope would be a portable air conditioner or =
one of those evaporative coolers...modify it and throw an inlet into the =
pit.
My second question would be, evaporative coolers, are they any =
effective in cooling the inner space of the f16 pit? because the price =
of one of them is like 1/10 of a portable air conditioner.
Would love to hear all of your thoughts :)
