Another tip I’ve seen, if you have heat over 100 you’re not supposed to use a fan. The moving air removes the cooler air slightly above the skin and replaces it with warmer air. Under 100 it’s good to use a fan.
Running water (such as a stream) is going to likely be better as you rarely have 100 degree water, but I’m assuming the same applies.
- hetspookjee 5y agoMy reasoning is that the cooling actually comes from adiabatic cooling, so using a fan to speed up the evaporation will improve the cooling effect. Mileage may vary though considering the humidity and temperatures.
- devenson 5y agoI think you mean evaporative, not adiabatic.
