Evaporative Mist Cooling as Heat Dissipation Technique: Experimental Assessment and Modelling

Extending the potential of evaporative cooling for heat-stress relief.

Factors were analyzed that limit the range of environmental conditions in which stress from heat may be relieved by evaporative cooling in shaded animals. Evaporative cooling reduces air temperature (Ta), but increases humidity. Equations were developed to predict Ta reduction as a function of ambient temperature and humidity and of humidity in cooled air. Predictions indicated that a reduction...

Evaluation of Evaporative Cooling for Heat Transfer in the Condenser of Window-Air Conditioners

There is a demand for reduced power consumption in the vapor compression refrigeration cycle. Coefficient of performance of window-air conditioners considerably decreases and power consumption increases under very hot conditions. These problems have encouragecl studies aimed at improving the performance of window-air-conditioners by enhancing the heat transfer rate in the condenser. In this ar...

Review of Refrigeration Technologies for High Heat Dissipation Electronics Cooling

It is envisioned that conventional air cooling techniques using heat sinks are not able to sufficiently cool future generations of high heat dissipation semiconductor processors. Thus, alternative cooling approaches are being extensively studied as substitutes. This paper presents a literature review of the available refrigeration systems and system simulation models for electronics cooling. Th...
