Testing of an Evaporative Cooling System That Supplies Air Near the Dew Point Temperature
Abstract
For many years it has been known that an evaporative cooling system can be designed to supply cool air close to the dew point temperature of the ambient air. Prototypes have been built to demonstrate the principles and temperatures achievable, but the technology has never been developed due to its high cost and complexity. A new counterflow indirect evaporative cooler has been developed which addresses the disadvantages of previous systems.
