Summary

EVAPORATIVE COOLERS ARE DISTRIBUTED INTO TWO CATEGORIES: CONVENTIONAL CLOSED-CIRCUIT EVAPORATIVE COOLERS AND AIR AND WATER SPRAY EVAPORATIVE COOLERS WHERE WATER IS INJECTED AS A MIST INTO THE AIR STREAM AND IN COCURRENT FLOW. FOR BOTH TYPES OF UNITS THE LITERATURE ON THERMAL PERFORMANCE AND PRESSUR DROPS IS DISCUSSED AND TEST AND CALCULATED VALUES ARE COMPARED. FOR CONVENTIONAL COOLERS, PREDICTION PROCEDURES ARE GENERALLY SATISFACTORY, BUT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN IN ORDER TO PREVENT BAD DISTRIBUTION. FOR AIR SPRAY EVAPORATIVE COOLERS THE STUDY SHOWS THE GREAT SIGNIFICANCE OF FOULING.
