Indeed, there is evidence that the ancient Egyptians employed their own form of evaporative cooling to keep from frying during the summer heat. While evaporative cooling equipment has changed since the times of the ancient Egyptians, the principle remains the same - converting sensible heat to latent heat through the evaporation of water to remove heat from [...]
