Fuck that those are just over priced over sized swamp coolers which uses water. Even though water emits nothing or near nothing, swamp coolers/evaporative coolers are highly ineffective and you’d be filling it with water quite a lot or you’d be hooked to a water line and unless they were fully able to be 100% disassembled and cleaned and unless people actually cleaned them they’d be just mildew sources running in your homes.
Propane refrigerant is the best for the ozone. It’s just not used in mini splits in the US. If propane was used we’d be fine. https://www.npga.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/NPGA-Enviro-1pg-555283.pdf and all you gotta do is change a filter and ask someone to come over and recharge it once a year. It’ll never be phased out and it’s highly effective as a refrigerant.
I had a quick look but most links were tiktok… Just a oversized freestanding AC unit that they like to run in outdoor seating areas in Dubai. Not sure how widespread they are that’s the only place I’ve ever seen them.
It’s fine we just need more of those Dubai-style outdoor AC units /s
