Résumé

A numerical model for dew-point counter-flow indirect evaporative coolers was presented. Unlike the conventional models, a more realistic boundary condition on separating wall was obtained by simultaneous solving of momentum, energy, and mass transfer equations of flows coupled. In addition, the model's accuracy was increased through considering 3D hydrodynamical and thermal developing flows. The model predicted the supply air temperature and the results were compared to experimental data as well as previous numerical models. It was shown that the maximum deviation of the supply air temperature was under ±3.53 %. It was found that these modifications on the numerical model reduced the computation error about 41.1 %. Moreover, it was found that the difference between maximum errors of 3D and 2D models was about 4.5 %; however, the 3D model consumes 14 times more CPU time. Finally, the sensitivity of the system's operation was studied using the developed model.
