Air conditioner including a plurality of evaporative cooling units

Abstract

An air conditioning system includes evaporative cooling units, each evaporative cooling unit including a first V-shaped portion of a winding of microporous hollow fibers that are configured to receive a liquid, and a second V-shaped portion of the winding of microporous hollow fibers that are configured to receive the liquid, where the second V-shaped portion is coupled to the first V-shaped portion, and an internal cavity is disposed between the first V-shaped portion and the second V-shaped portion. The air conditioning system also includes a plumbing assembly configured to supply the liquid to the plurality of evaporative cooling units. The air conditioning system also includes a controller configured to control the plumbing assembly to change a flow rate of the liquid, or to block the liquid from at least one evaporative cooling unit of the plurality of evaporative cooling units.
