Abstract

This paper numerically investigates the performance of the three highly efficient, advanced indirect evaporative air coolers: the “classical” cross-flow Maisotsenko cycle (M-Cycle) heat and mass exchangers and two novel combined M-Cycle air coolers proposed by authors. The novel heat and mass exchangers are based on a combination of parallel and counter-flow and cross and counter-flow schemes. An original mathematical models were developed and validated against experimental data.
