INDIRECT EVAPORATIVE COOLING USING PLATE TYPE HEAT EXCHANGERS.

Summary

THE APPLICATION OF A PLATE-TYPE AIR-TO-AIR HEAT EXCHANGER IS DISCUSSED AS IT APPLIES TO INDIRECT EVAPORATIVE COOLING. THE HEAT TRANSFER ASPECTS OF THE EVAPORATION ON THE METAL'S < COOLING TOWER > SIDE AND THE RESULTANT HEAT DISSIPATION ON ITS < DRY > SIDE ARE DISCUSSED. RESULTS OF PERFORMANCE TESTING ARE PRESENTED SHOWING EFFECTIVENESS AND PRESSURE DROP AS FUNCTIONS OF CORE GEOMETRY AND AIR AND WATER FLOW RATES. MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS, AND CHEMICAL TREATMENTS ARE REVIEWED.
