I think your swamp cooler will work just fine. Maybe crank up the air movement on hot days but 85 degrees is pretty good for orchids. Its really the cool off at night that matters. You can have 100 degree days (which happens a lot here in Texas!) but if it cools off by 20 degrees at nigh, your plants will be fine.
