A.C. and Swamp Cooler
(OP)
We have a shop where they teach people to work on automobiles. It uses a swamp cooler for cooling and they say it gets really warm in there. We are thinking of installing an air conditioning unit but are wondering if they would just fight each other since one humidifies and the other dehumidifies. What is your experience?

There also may be a large make-up air load if exhaust fans are running during occupied hours. Unless this air is also conditioned, the outside air load may be the issue.

Wherever SWAMP coolers are used at least 80% of the room air to be exhausted(displacement so that Humidity build up does not happen.
There is no point in adding the air conditioner there instead you can chill the water that is being sprayed on the swamp cooler so that the wet bulb depression improves giving better cooling.

Indirect evaporative cooling would be one way to continue to use the swamp coolers (exhaust stream is cooled by the swamp coolers, a heat transfer device; heat pipe, coils, etc) moves the 'cool' over to supply airstream. DX cooling takes you the rest of the way there.
