  • EVAPORATIVELY COOLED MINI-SPLIT AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20150253046
    Abstract: In at least one aspect of this disclosure, a refrigeration system includes an evaporatively cooled condenser configured to transfer heat from the refrigeration system to an atmosphere, an air inlet in fluid communication with the condenser, and an evaporative cooling medium disposed between the atmosphere and the condenser such that at least a portion of an airflow from the atmosphere passes through the evaporative cooling medium to reduce the temperature of the airflow before passing the airflow over the condenser. The evaporative cooling can improve system cooling efficiency by 20-50% or even greater in dry climates.
