Abstract

In this study, a multi-stage regenerative-cross-flow dew-point evaporative cooler performance is analyzed and compared to the performance of a regenerative dew-point evaporative cooler. The most beneficial configuration of the proposed exchanger was established on the basis of its geometry and performance analysis using validated numerical models. For specific outlet air parameters, it was found that the multi-stage cooler with a working-to-primary air-flow ratio equal to 0.3 reaches 5.6% lower outlet air temperatures and 10.2% higher cooling capacity when compared to the regenerative unit. The proposed cooler provides lower outlet air temperatures for all average outdoor air parameters in selected locations, for both dry and humid outdoor air parameters (e.g., Denver (USA) and Izmir (Turkey)).
