Evaporative air coolers are high-efficiency, energy-saving cooling devices that combine water cooling and air cooling technologies. Their core principle is heat exchange achieved through the cross-flow of air, spray water, and circulating water, utilizing the latent heat of vaporization of water and the sensible heat of air for combined heat dissipation. The following analysis focuses on their types and applicable scenarios:
1. Direct Evaporative Air Cooler
Principle: Sprayed circulating water comes into direct contact with the air, absorbing heat through water evaporation, resulting in cooling and humidification.
Applicable Scenarios: Low-humidity areas (such as Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Ningxia, etc.), for comfort cooling in residential and public buildings.
2. Indirect Evaporative Air Cooler
Principle: Air is cooled through an air-to-air heat exchanger without increasing air humidity.
Applicable Scenarios: Low- to medium-humidity areas, industrial buildings (such as textile mills, flour mills, foundries) to improve worker comfort.
3. Composite Evaporative Air Cooler
Principle: Combines direct and indirect evaporative cooling technologies.
Applicable Scenarios: Areas with high wet-bulb temperatures, industrial scenarios requiring efficient heat dissipation.
