AirLoopHVAC vs ZoneHVAC:EvaporativeCoolerUnit for Evaporative Cooling system

I want to model a Direct Evaporative Cooler for a multi-zone residential building. I have found the example "1ZoneEvapCooler" which uses an "AirLoopHVAC" object. My question is what is the difference between the AirLoopHVAC and the "ZoneHVAC:EvaporativeCoolerUnit" object when simulation an evaporative cooling system.
