EVAPORATIVE COOLING ?

Evaporative Cooling is the ideal solution for reducing

temperatures in large Indoor Areas. It Provides
significant cooling at a fraction of the price of Traditional
air conditioning, typically 70 % less. This
makes cooling large commercial and industrial premises
a viable option.
One or more evaporative coolers are installed either on
the ground directly outside the building, or on the wall
or Roof. The Unit cools air by drawing it in through
continually wetted pads. This chilled air is then pumped
into and distributed around a building via ductwork.

Desert Coolers
Anevaporative cooler(alsoswamp cooler,desert
coolerandwet air cooler) is a device that cools air
through theevaporationof water. Evaporative cooling
differs from typicalair conditioningsystems which use
vapor-compressionor absorptionrefrigerationcycles.
Evaporative cooling works by employing water's large
enthalpy of vaporization
Desert coolers are based on the simple principle that
when unsaturated air comes in contact with water, the
water evaporates. In the process, the moisture content of
air increases, while its temperature decreases. The
resulting cold but moist air is used for providing cooling.
Thus a desert cooler is a simple device, which consists of
an arrangement for blowing dry and hot air over a wet
surface and an arrangement for keeping the surface wet
continuously. The cooler normally consists of a blower and

The cooling potential for evaporative cooling is

dependent on the wet bulb depression, the difference
betweendry-bulbtemperature andwet-bulb
temperature. Inarid climates, evaporative cooling can
reduce energy consumption and total equipment for
conditioning as an alternative to compressor-based
cooling. In climates not considered arid, indirect
evaporative cooling can still take advantage of the
evaporative cooling process without increasing humidity.
Passive evaporative cooling strategies offer the same
benefits of mechanical evaporative cooling systems
without the complexity of equipment and ductwork.

Adiabatic cooling with humidification: (Evaporative

cooling).
Cooling of air with the help of water available at room
temperature (initially) is accompanied by addition of
water vapor in air. When this water is circulated again and
again adiabatically (i.e. without addition of external heat
to water) this process is called Evaporative Cooling.
Air is passed horizontally through a vertically downward
water spray of fresh water coming down from the nozzles
of air washers. Water is re-circulated by pumps which
suck water from a drain pit and pump it through nozzles
of air washer bank. Due to continuous circulation of water
air washer will soon attain a temperature equal to wet
bulb temperature of air entering the air washer.
Temperature of air washer will remain now constant till
the outside air condition remains constant.
