Abstract

In the coming decades, a large portion of the world population is expected to embrace urbanization. The demand for thermal comfort in populous and congested urban centres, especially in developing countries across the globe, is expected to rise many folds. Alternates to conventional air-cooling systems are water-based evaporation cooling. Recently introduced efficient multi-stage indirect evaporative cooling using the Maisotsenko(M)-Cycle has shown success with improved performance by theoretically reaching the dew-point of the incoming air. However, the impact of large-scale use of such cooling devices shall inadvertently leave huge strains on the urban useable water resources. On the other hand, cooling, as usual, is not sustainable with the global demand for air cooling units shall grow many folds up to 5.0 billion units over the next decade compared to currently 1.3 billion in service units.
