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?
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 :)
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 :)
