Abstract
An evaporative cooling system includes an indirect cooling coil containing a cooling fluid to be circulated and a blower assembly configured to generate an inlet air stream through the indirect cooling coil. The cooling fluid in the indirect cooling coil is a slurry of water and phase change material.
Claims4
An indirect evaporative cooling system, comprising:
- a fan for selectively generating an inlet air stream;
- a first heat exchanger in fluid communication with said inlet air stream, said first heat exchanger being oriented downstream of said fan and circulating a cooling fluid via a cooling channel;
- a cooling tower located downstream from said first heat exchanger, said cooling tower having a secondary heat exchanger;
- and
- wherein said cooling fluid is comprised of a mixture of water and a non-water phase change material;
- and
- wherein a portion of said cooling channel extends into said cooling tower adjacent said secondary heat exchanger, such that said cooling fluid exchanges heat with said inlet air stream in said first heat exchanger prior to said cooling fluid being directed to said secondary heat exchanger for further heat transfer.

An indirect evaporative cooling system, comprising:
- a fan for selectively generating an inlet air stream;
- an indirect heat exchanger in fluid communication with said inlet air stream, said indirect heat exchanger circulating a cooling fluid through said indirect heat exchanger via a cooling conduit;
- a cooling tower located downstream from said indirect heat exchanger, said cooling tower including a secondary heat exchanger that is fluidly isolated from said indirect heat exchanger;
- wherein said cooling fluid is comprised of a mixture of water and a non-water phase change material;
- and
- wherein a portion of said cooling conduit extends into said cooling tower adjacent said secondary heat exchanger, such that said cooling fluid exchanges heat with said inlet air stream prior to said cooling fluid being directed to said secondary heat exchanger for further heat transfer.
