A simplified model for analysis of heat and mass transfer in a direct evaporative cooler

Thermodynamic analysis of the evaporative-vapour compression based combined air conditioning system for hot and dry climatic conditions

“…This may be caused by limited cooling performance of the indirect evaporative cooler (IEC) in hot and humid climate. Fouda et al [6] studied the heat and mass transfer, process in direct evaporative cooler. A simple mathematical model is developed to describe the heat and mass transfer between air and water in a direct evaporative cooler.…”

Estimation of the Water Temperature Influence on Direct Evaporative Cooler Operation

“…The performance and efficiency of evaporative coolers has been the object of investigation of numerous scientific groups during the past decades and the exported results are quite interesting• most recently, papers were published by Fouda & Melikyan (2011), Kachhwaha & Prabhakar (2010), Lazzarin (2007), Wu, Huang & Zhang, (2009), Finlay & Harris (1984. The approaches adopted in these papers are based on analyzing heat and mass transfer phenomena or on the balance between sensible and latent energy load.…”

Review on Evaporative Cooling Systems

“…The temperature must be high enough to allow for evaporation and the relative humidity must be low enough to allow for more water vapour to enter the air. Water quality also has an important role in both evaporation and keeping the system well maintained (Fouda and Melikan, 2011).…”
