An apparatus is described for treating air for use as a coolant for machinery. The treatment includes cooling the air with water without injecting water droplets into the air stream which droplets can visibly be seen to come to rest on the machinery. The principal elements of this water treatment apparatus comprises: low water resistance evaporation means for cooling air passing therethrough; and water dispensing means for uniformly adding water to the water evaporaton means by having water exude from the water dispensing means over an area of mutual contact with the water evaporation means. Improved embodiments employ a temperature sensing mechanism for activating the air treating mechanism dependent upon the temperature of the ambient air. A further embodiment includes a water pressure regulator means for maintaining the required effluence from the water dispensing means to obtain the optimum wetting of the evaporation means.
An apparatus for the treatment of a stream of air passing through the apparatus comprising:
In an air conditioning apparatus of the type having an efficiency which is reduced by the condensation of water droplets upon the cooling coils of the compressor, an apparatus for delivering a water cooled air stream to the air conditioning apparatus and for preventing water droplets from becoming a part of the air stream, the combination comprising:
The method of using Celdek material as an evaporator member in an air treatment apparatus for home air conditioning units with which it is important to eliminate water droplets from the air stream passing through the evaporator member, comprising the steps of:
