We present simulation result on a evaporative air conditioner which was design based on a counter-flow closed-loop configuration consisting of separated working channels and product channels. The evaporative air conditioner is able to cool air to temperature below room temperature, it means below 27°C.To investigate the performance of the evaporative air cooler under a variety of conditions, the Eulerian-Lagrangian computational fluid dynamics(CFD)model was adopted. The dimension of the air flow passages, and product to working air flow performance were analyzed. Simulation results have indicated that the evaporative air conditioner is able to achieve a higher wet-bulb and dew-point effectiveness with lower air velocity, smaller channel height, larger length to height ratio, and lower product to working air flow ratio. |
