The Enhanced Dew-Point Evaporative Cooling with a Macro-Roughened Structure

“…As net-zero carbon emission has become an emergent mission to ensure our sustainable future, it is imminent to seek for an energy-saving and environmentally friendly cooling technology. Among all potential cooling technologies [3][4][5][6], dew-point evaporative cooling (DPEC) has witnessed a burgeon due to its outstanding sensible cooling effectiveness and coefficient of performance (COP) at a low cost, allowing the air to be cooled towards its dew-point (DP) temperature [7].…”
