RE: It's that time of year again...

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

They certainly don't dehumidify the air; we had one in our office last year
when the normal aircon broke, and after a while you could feel the humidity
in the air, to the extent where we turned it off.  It was certainly cooler,
but also very, very humid.  It used to put a bucket of water into the air
every hour or so. Quite an odd feeling really, like being in a hot, humid
country, except it wasn't hot.

My brother picked up one of the water cooling things - it looks like a
portable air-con unit (about the same size) - but works by having a water
tank inside with a fan.

So shouldnt be de-humidifying the air

...when an automater's thoughts turn to AirCon.


One slight wrinkle, compared to the normal annual post.

Peter (7 months), has one of those childhood rash things that will 1:
sort itself out in a year or so, but 2: does NOT like dry air.

Can anyone recommend a cooling technology that is (relatively)
portable (likely to move inside 2 years), but won't dry out the air
too much?
