Summary

The performance of five different types of atomiser was examined under varying operating conditions. From these tests it was possible to identify the most appropriate atomiser for the application and carry out further tests to determine the effect of other parameters such as water temperature and atomiser location. A system model has been used to interpret the findings of these tests to see how the energy performance of an actual air cycle system is affected by evaporative spray cooling. Further tests must be carried out before a definitive understanding of evaporative spray cooling is reached. These are expounded in this paper.
