Supply Air Temperature and Humidity Interaction on Thermal Performance of Indirect Evaporative Air Cooling
The 9th Annual Conference of Young Scientists on Energy Issues (CYSENI 2012) 2012
Guntars Frīdenbergs, Arturs Lešinskis

In an indirect evaporative air cooling (IEAC) installation air is cooled by means of adiabatic humidification process. By passing over an air/air heat exchanger this air cools the supply or mixed (supply and extracted) air. A clear interaction can be observed between the relative humidity and temperature of the supply air and the thermal comfort implemented in the building. To be able to predict the performances of this technique well, a good knowledge of the supply air relative humidity and temperature are thus important. Paper presents the results of measurements carried out in summers of 2008, 2009 and 2010 in a simulated nonresidential building in 3 cities of Latvia: Riga, Liepaja and Gulbene which makes indirect evaporative cooling usable. An evaluation of the indoor summer comfort is made and the interaction between the thermal performance and outdoor air parameters (humidity and temperature) are investigated.
