Abstract

The thermal and hydraulic performance of a modified two-stage evaporative cooler is evaluated. Variables considered are the mode of operation, packing thickness, mass flow rate of the water flowing to the precooler, and the mass flux of water flowing over the packing media. The effectiveness of the system increased with the increase of the mass flow rate of water flowing to the precooler, decreasing the mass flux of water flowing to the packing, and with the increase of the packing thickness. The effectiveness of the system with structured packing was higher than that with sheathy leaf base or natural fiber packing.
