Description
Evaporative cooling is energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost effective in many applications and all climates. Applications range from comfort cooling in residential, agricultural, commercial, and institutional buildings, to industrial applications for spot cooling in mills, foundries, power plants, and other hot environments. Several types of apparatus cool by evaporating water directly in the airstream, including (1) direct evaporative coolers, (2) spray-filled and wetted-surface air washers, (3) sprayed-coil units, and (4) humidifiers. Indirect evaporative cooling equipment combines the evaporative cooling effect in a secondary airstream with a heat exchanger to produce cooling without adding moisture to the primary airstream.
