Abstract:
A direct evaporative cooling system add-on to the existing air conditioning system for more effectively removing the Latent-heat-of-condensation of the refrigerant of the system greatly enhances the EER rating of the system. Upgrading the conventional air-conditioning systems from air cooled refrigerant-condensing-radiator to water-evaporative-cooling via an ADD-ON unit, comprising a reservoir that stores water to be periodically pumped up a pipe under pressure controlled by the electronic controller for timing and quantity. The water is sprinkling uniformly with the help of a plurality of holes in the pipeline wetting the condensing radiator, some of which evaporates cooling the radiator and the excess returning to the reservoir to be recycled over the radiator repeatedly allowing the evaporation and heat exchange process to continue. This cooling effect reduces the pressures required by the compressor at the same time reducing the power drawn from the electrical grid saving money on the electric bill and in turn reducing the carbon foot print created by the use of air conditioning.
