How hot does it get in your shop?
Sundaybest:
I have a 1,500sq ft warehouse an today it got to 95 degrees. Are portacools worth it?
Nation03:
Hovers between 82 - 95 degrees in here depending on the humidity outside. I don't turn the AC on, just not worth it. The thing drips like crazy and when the dryers are on it's not even doing anything. I stick with fans in strategic locations. I can bare the heat as long as there is some sort of a breeze coming at me. I thought about the portacools but I'm not sure they're really worth it in a larger space with high ceilings.
BP:
Mid 80's with the AC on.

Yes, portacools do a great job if you are pulling enough air out of the warehouse. They do nothing but jack up the humidity if you don't exchange the air.
The trick with them is turn the water down so you see dry spots on the coils. That way you know the water is evaporating. Also, I hate to stress this too much...AIRFLOW. We have 2 exhaust fans for about 3,000 square feet. I know one of them is rated 1,200cfm, I think the other is right around there or a little larger.

It's all about air exchange. Get the air in, like a motor, then out like an exhaust.
Swamp coolers work great in low humidity areas.
