One of the key differences is that for air conditioning units to be effective, all doors and windows must be closed, whereas an evaporative cooler can be used outdoors.

An evaporative cooler, or a swamp cooler, works by pulling in hot air and passing it through a moistened pad. The moisture in the pad evaporates, resulting in cooler air being expelled. A portable air conditioning unit uses refrigerant to cool the air, a compressor to compress the refrigerant, and a fan to move the cool air.

This is calculated by looking at the physical dimensions of your area and the output of the air cooling unit. There are several other factors to consider, including how many windows or glass frontages you have, where the room is located, if there is any electrical equipment and the room's height.
