Summary
It has been known for some time that evaporative cooling can be used to cool air so that it approaches its dew point temperature. Prototypes have been built to demonstrate the principles and temperatures achievable, but the technology has never been developed due to its high cost and complexity. A new counterflow indirect evaporative cooler has been developed which addresses the disadvantages of previous systems. This paper presents results obtained from monitoring the cooler installed in both a residential and commercial application in Australia. The performance characteristic of the counterflow indirect evaporative cooler in regards to its outlet temperatures and electrical energy efficiency are discussed and compared to conventional systems that use refrigeration.
