Introduction
 Evaporative cooling:- the function of an evaporator is to absorb heat
from the surrounding location or medium which is to be means of a
refrigerant.
• The temperature of the boiling refrigerant in the evaporator must always
be less than that of the surrounding medium so that the heat flows to the
refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant from the expansion valve enters into the
evaporator which it boils and changes into vapour.
• Evaporative cooling is a natural phenomenon that occurs when moving air
passes over a wetted medium or water source, i.e. fountain, river, sea,
shower, etc.
• The human body uses evaporative cooling through sweating to maintain a
constant body temperature.
Types of evaporative
cooling
 Two types of evaporative cooling system:-
1. Direct evaporative cooling,
2. Indirect evaporative cooling.
 Direct evaporative cooling:- is used to lower the temperature and
increase the humidity of air by using latent heat of evaporation, changing
liquid water to water vapor. In this process, the energy in the air does not
change. Warm dry air is changed to cool moist air.
• The heat of the outside air is used to evaporate water. The RH increases
to 70 to 90% which reduces the cooling effect of human perspiration. The
moist air has to be continually released to outside or else the air becomes
saturated and evaporation stops.
Direct evaporative cooling
Working
• A mechanical direct evaporative cooler unit uses a fan to draw air through
a wetted membrane, or pad, which provides a large surface area for the
evaporation of water into the air.
• Water is sprayed at the top of the pad so it can drip down into the
membrane and continually keep the membrane saturated.
• Any excess water that drips out from the bottom of the membrane is
collected in a pan and recirculated to the top.
• Single stage direct evaporative coolers are typically small in size as it only
consists of the membrane, water pump, and centrifugal fan.
Indirect evaporative cooling
Indirect evaporative cooling
• Figure shows the schematic of a basic, indirect evaporative cooling
system. As shown in the figure, in an indirect evaporative cooling process,
two streams of air - primary and secondary are used.
• The primary air stream becomes cooled and humidified by coming in
direct contact with the wetted surface (o-o’), while the secondary stream
which is used as supply air to the conditioned space, decreases its
temperature by exchanging only sensible heat with the cooled and
humidified air stream (o-s).
• Thus the moisture content of the supply air remains constant in an
indirect evaporative cooling system, while its temperature drops.
• Obviously, everything else remaining constant, the temperature drop
obtained in a direct evaporative cooling system is larger compared to that
obtained in an indirect system, in addition the direct evaporative cooling
system is also simpler and hence, relatively inexpensive.
Advantages
• Less expensive to install and operate.
• Substantially lower operating and power costs. Energy savings can be as
high as 75 %.
• Ease of fabrication and installation.
• Lower maintenance costs.
• Ensures a very good ventilation due to the large air flow rates involved,
hence, are very good especially in 100 % outdoor air applications,
• Better air distribution in the conditioned space due to higher flow rates.
• Very environment friendly as no harmful chemicals are used
• Evaporative cooling increases humidity. In dry climates, this may improve
comfort and decrease static electricity problems.
Disadvantages
 Compared to the conventional systems, the evaporative cooling systems
suffer from the following disadvantages:-
• Most evaporative coolers are unable to lower the air temperature as
much as refrigerated air conditioning can.
• High dewpoint (humidity) conditions decrease the cooling capability of the
evaporative cooler.
• Evaporative coolers require a constant supply of water to wet the pads
• Since the required air flow rates are much larger, this may create draft
and/or high noise levels in the conditioned space,
• Precise control of temperature and humidity in the conditioned space is
not possible,
• May lead to health problems due to micro-organisms if the water used is
not clean or the wetted surfaces are not maintained properly.
Thank you
