Abstract
An intermixing assembly for an evaporative air conditioner includes an elongated housing and a nozzle positioned in the housing. The housing has an inlet for receiving ambient air from a source thereof and an outlet. The nozzle is positioned adjacent the housing outlet and has a first inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized water; a second inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized air; and an outlet for dispensing the pressurized water and pressurized air and mixing them with the ambient air to form a mist near the housing outlet.
Claims8
An intermixing assembly for coupling with a heat exchanger of an evaporative air conditioner, the intermixing assembly comprising:
- an elongated housing with an inlet for receiving ambient air from a source thereof and an outlet for coupling with the heat exchanger;
- a plurality of spiral vanes positioned within the housing for creating turbulence in the ambient air as it passes through the housing;
- and
- a nozzle positioned adjacent the housing outlet, the nozzle having—
- a first inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized water;
- a second inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized air;
- and
- an outlet for dispensing the pressurized water and pressurized air and mixing them with the ambient air to form a mist near the housing outlet for delivery to the heat exchanger.
An intermixing assembly for coupling with a heat exchanger of an evaporative air conditioner, the intermixing assembly comprising:
- an elongated housing with an inlet for receiving ambient air from a source thereof and an outlet with an inwardly tapered neck for coupling with the heat exchanger;
- a plurality of spiral vanes positioned within the housing for creating turbulence in the ambient air as it passes through the housing;
- and
- a nozzle positioned adjacent the housing outlet, the nozzle having—
- a first inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized water;
- a second inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized air;
- and
- an outlet for dispensing the pressurized water near a center of the nozzle and the pressurized air around the dispensed pressurized water to mix the pressurized water, the pressurized air, and the ambient air to form a mist near the housing outlet for delivery to the heat exchanger.
