Cheap way to freeze my room (not literally)

[urbina.christian123]

My room is very small, just enough room to fit a full-size bed and a small desk in. I have a window (that I cannot install a window ac in) that is hit directly by the sun, it gets ridiculously hot in here to the point of where I sweat. I'm not allowed to work so I am very limited to what I can buy. I am trying to find a way to basically freeze my room, or at least cool it down to where I can use a blanket to sleep.

You basically have two options, since you cant do any window mounts.
You can get a portable AC unit (most of which require a window shim for an air intake, but the unit is inside the room)
Or you could get a portable swamp cooler, much cheaper on power, but less effective by far.

What is a swamp cooler?

Basically a swamp cooler moves air through a water saturated material, raising ambient humidity. This included with the large blower they use cools the house through evaporation. They never come close to an ACs level of cooling, but they are okay for much cheaper, and they are cheaper to run.

Since you said freezing, I dont think one would work for you.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it. Nice PC build btw.

Hey thanks, its mostly second hand but it gets the job done.

Seems like it would cause a great deal of rust and corrosion.

No, swamp coolers are a very common form of cooling in arid environments. The air coming out is simply humid, and the evaporation creates a "cooling" effect. Ive been running one for over a decade.
