Abstract
A cooling device is constructed by a water impermeable member defining a water passage, the water impermeable member being provided with a vapor permeable member which is permeable to water vapor and impermeable to water, and has the form of a mesh and made of a material having water repellency. The cooling device has a long-life operation while preventing wear-out of the vapor permeable member. Further, optimally setting the size of an opening of the mesh member enables to securely dissipate water vapor outside of the cooling device through the vapor permeable member while efficiently suppressing water leak.
Claims15
A cooling device comprising:
- a water passage having a portion being a vapor permeable member that is permeable to water vapor and impermeable to water, and has the form of a mesh and is made of a material having water repellency;
- and
- a water absorbing member being disposed in the water passage, wherein the water absorbing member is a filter member comprising a cloth including plant fiber.
A condenser for condensing a refrigerant, comprising:
- a refrigerant flow tube for allowing a refrigerant to flow, the refrigerant flow tube having a surface for dissipating heat generated by condensation of the refrigerant outside;
- and
- a cooling module which is provided in close contact with a heat dissipative surface of the refrigerant flow tube to absorb heat generated by condensation of the refrigerant by utilizing latent heat for water vaporization on the heat dissipative surface, the cooling module having a cooling device including:
- a water passage a part of or a whole of which is defined by a vapor permeable member permeable to water vapor and impermeable to water, the vapor permeable member having the form of a mesh and made of a material having water repellency.
An air conditioning system comprising:
- a compressor for compressing a refrigerant;
- a condenser including a heat dissipative surface for cooling the refrigerant compressed by the compressor to condense the refrigerant;
- an expansion valve for allowing the condensed refrigerant to adiabatically expand;
- and
- an evaporator for evaporating the expanded refrigerant while absorbing heat from an external air, the condenser including:
- a refrigerant flow tube for allowing a refrigerant to flow, the refrigerant flow tube having a surface for dissipating heat generated by condensation of the refrigerant outside;
- and
- a cooling module which is provided in close contact with a heat dissipative surface of the refrigerant flow tube to absorb heat generated by condensation of the refrigerant by utilizing latent heat for water vaporization on the heat dissipative surface, the cooling module having a cooling device including:
- a water passage a part of or a whole of which is defined by a vapor permeable member permeable to water vapor and impermeable to water at least partly, the vapor permeable member having the form of a mesh and made of a material having water repellency.
A cooling device comprising:
- a water passage having a portion being a vapor permeable member that is permeable to water vapor and impermeable to water, and has the form of a mesh and is made of a material having water repellency;
- and
- a water absorbing member being disposed in the water passage wherein the water absorbing member is a filter member.
