Investigation of direct contact heat exchange with conditioned water sprays.

Author(s) : HENSLEY J. L., BRYAN J. E.

Summary

An experimental investigation was performed to determine to what degree conditioned water sprays can be used to cool and dehumidify air. Experiments were carried out over a range of conditions to understand the effect of droplet size, water temperature, air velocity, temperature, and relative humidity. It was determined that droplet size and relative humidity had the greatest impact on heat and mass transfer. Further, spray rebound and collection were found to be the primary challenge in controlling cooling and dehumidification.
