An intermixing assembly for an evaporative air conditioner includes an elongated housing and a nozzle positioned in the housing. The housing has an inlet for receiving ambient air from a source thereof and an outlet. The nozzle is positioned adjacent the housing outlet and has a first inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized water; a second inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized air; and an outlet for dispensing the pressurized water and pressurized air and mixing them with the ambient air to form a mist near the housing outlet.

1. An intermixing assembly for coupling with a heat exchanger of an evaporative air conditioner, the intermixing assembly comprising: an elongated housing with an inlet for receiving ambient air from a source thereof and an outlet for coupling with the heat exchanger;a plurality of spiral vanes positioned within the housing for creating turbulence in the ambient air as it passes through the housing; anda nozzle positioned adjacent the housing outlet, the nozzle having— a first inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized water;a second inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized air; andan outlet for dispensing the pressurized water and pressurized air and mixing them with the ambient air to form a mist near the housing outlet for delivery to the heat exchanger. 2. The intermixing assembly of claim 1, wherein the nozzle discharges the pressurized water out of a central area of the nozzle. 3. The intermixing assembly of claim 2, wherein the nozzle discharges the pressurized air around the pressurized water. 4. The intermixing assembly of claim 3, further comprising a plurality of vanes positioned in the nozzle for creating turbulence in the pressurized air as it passes through the nozzle. 5. The intermixing assembly of claim 3, wherein the housing is generally circular in cross section. 6. The intermixing assembly of claim 3, wherein the housing outlet has an inwardly tapered neck. 7. The intermixing assembly of claim 1, further comprising an air blower for providing pressurized air to the inlet of the elongated housing. 8. An intermixing assembly for coupling with a heat exchanger of an evaporative air conditioner, the intermixing assembly comprising: an elongated housing with an inlet for receiving ambient air from a source thereof and an outlet with an inwardly tapered neck for coupling with the heat exchanger;a plurality of spiral vanes positioned within the housing for creating turbulence in the ambient air as it passes through the housing; anda nozzle positioned adjacent the housing outlet, the nozzle having— a first inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized water;a second inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized air; andan outlet for dispensing the pressurized water near a center of the nozzle and the pressurized air around the dispensed pressurized water to mix the pressurized water, the pressurized air, and the ambient air to form a mist near the housing outlet for delivery to the heat exchanger.
