Evaporative precooling can solve capacity problems and save energy.

Summary

In some instances, as much as a 37% reduction in kilowatthour consumption and capacity loss has been documented. Because the air entering into the condensing coil remains relatively cool compared to the ambient temperature, the air conditioning unit performs as if the actual temperature were much lower. This allows the unit to cycle normally, and reduces the unit capacity losses associated with higher temperatures.
