The operational range of the evaporative cooler means, particularly one chilling air and/or water to 79.degree. F. or less when the outside ambient air temperature rises to 120.degree. F. at a relative humidity as high as 50%, is extended by pre-cooling the intake water with a thermoelectric heating

The operational range of the evaporative cooler means, particularly one chilling air and/or water to 79.degree. F. or less when the outside ambient air temperature rises to 120.degree. F. at a relative humidity as high as 50%, is extended by pre-cooling the intake water with a thermoelectric heating/cooling element, typically of about 5 kw. capacity. The extension of the operational range of the evaporative cooler so realized obviates, or reduces, use of an expensive parallel air conditioning system in the cooling of buildings, particularly houses, in hot but generally dry climates, such as in the inland regions of the Southwestern United States.
