Max air conditioner development: Advanced indirect/direct evaporative cooling: Final technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7010879
This project developed and tested advanced evaporative cooling systems. Analysis of psychrometric information and test results are included. Indirect performance factors (PF) of 1.10+ were obtained on supply air systems (no return). Total PF's of over 1.50 and temperature drops of 55/sup 0/F were obtained for indirect/direct evaporative cooling supply systems at 1% El Paso design conditions (100db/64wb ambient 45db supply with no return). A computer design model was developed and applications are indicated for evaporative cooling, refrigeration combination, desiccant cooling combination, and cooling towers. Bacchus Industries is pursuing commercialization of the developed technology.
