System for evaporative cooling of an air conditioning condenser or a radiator to enhance efficiencies

A system connected to a water supply for pre-cooling ambient air drawn into an air conditioning unit having a condenser by providing a misting spray of water that evaporates rapidly to cool the air conditioning condenser, the system comprising:

• a water supply connection connected to the water supply, the water supply connection directs water from the water supply into the system;
• a water treatment assembly for treating aspects of the water supplied through the water supply connection having a controllable flow reducer that regulates a water flow through the system to create a water pressure at a plurality of misting nozzles;
• a water delivery assembly that receives water from the water treatment assembly and delivers the misting spray indirectly to the air conditioning unit by delivering the misting spray outward proximate the air conditioning unit to be drawn in by the air conditioning unit, wherein the water delivery assembly comprises the plurality of misting nozzles positioned on an exterior surface of the condenser, and wherein the plurality of misting nozzles is oriented to direct the misting spray away from the condenser;
• and
• a wireless controller that manages a passage of water from the water supply to the misting spray, wherein the wireless controller regulates the passage of water to the plurality of misting nozzles in response to detecting operation of a fan of the condenser, and wherein the wireless controller controls the flow reducer to adjust the water pressure in response to a sensor detecting an amount of water droplets that exceeds a threshold.

A method for pre-cooling ambient air drawn into an air conditioning unit having a condenser, the method comprising the steps of:

• connecting the air conditioning unit to a water supply, a water treatment assembly, and a water delivery assembly such that water supplied by the water supply passes through the water treatment assembly and exits from the water delivery assembly as a misting spray proximate to the condenser, wherein the water treatment assembly comprises a controllable flow reducer that regulates a water pressure at a plurality of misting nozzles, wherein the water delivery assembly comprises the plurality of misting nozzles positioned on an exterior surface of the condenser, and wherein the plurality of misting nozzles are oriented to direct the misting spray away from the condenser;
• controlling the misting spray by managing a passage of water from the water supply to the misting spray;
• and
• managing water flow to provide a misting spray that limits water droplets wasted by indirectly delivering the misting spray to the air conditioning unit by directing the misting spray outward proximate the air conditioning unit to be drawn in by the air conditioning unit, and regulating the water flow to the plurality of misting nozzles in response to detecting operation of a fan of the condenser, and controlling the flow reducer to adjust the water pressure at the plurality of misting nozzles in response to a sensor detecting an amount of water droplets that exceeds a threshold.
