Summary

The principle of an indirect evaporative cooler using porous ceramic as the cooling source and a heat pipe as the heat transfer device is presented in this article. A heat and mass transfer mathematical model was developed to simulate the properties of the indirect evaporative cooler. The simulation results are verified by the experimental data. The theoretical model can be used to predict the performance of the indirect evaporative cooler.
