An apparatus for indirect-evaporative gas cooling comprises a shell (1) with an inlet fitting (2) and outlet fittings (3,4). The inlet fitting (2) is for letting in a total gas stream. The outlet fitting (3) is for letting out the main gas stream and is located on the side of supplying the main gas stream to the consumer. The outlet fitting (4) is for letting the auxiliary gas stream to the atmosphere and is located on the side of the inlet fitting (2). The shell (1) accommodates a wettable capillary-porous solid (6), wherein there are provided moist ducts (7) and dry ducts (8) which intercommunicate on the side of the outlet fitting (3). This makes it possible to adjust the ratio between the surface areas of the dry and moist ducts, whereby the cooling efficiency is considerably increased.
An apparatus for indirect-evaporative gas cooling, comprising a shell (1) with a total gas stream inlet fitting (2), and outlet fittings (3, 4) respectively for a main stream and an auxiliary stream which flows counter-currently to the mainstream, and a plurality of moist ducts (7) provided in said shell (1) and made of a wettable capillary-porous material, and of dry ducts (8) made of a moisture-proof material, both the dry and the moist ducts intercommunicate on side of the shell on which mainstream outlet fitting is located (3), and a means for feeding a liquid wetting the capillary-porous material, characterized in that the respective moist and dry ducts (7, 8) are established in a capillary-porous solid (6) placed in the shell (1), while the dry ducts (8) are essentially tubes (9) whose ends extend beyond the capillary-porous solid on a side of the shell on which the inlet fitting is located (2) and are secured in a tube plate (16) spaced apart from the capillary-porous solid (6) so as to define an auxiliary gas outlet chamber (17) communicating with the outlet fitting (3).
