  • Patent number: 9138761
    Abstract: An intermixing assembly for an evaporative air conditioner includes an elongated housing and a nozzle positioned in the housing. The housing has an inlet for receiving ambient air from a source thereof and an outlet. The nozzle is positioned adjacent the housing outlet and has a first inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized water; a second inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized air; and an outlet for dispensing the pressurized water and pressurized air and mixing them with the ambient air to form a mist near the housing outlet.

  • Patent number: 9091450
    Abstract: An evaporative air conditioner system includes a heat exchanger having an inlet and an outlet and a plurality of passageways between the inlet and the outlet; a pump and nozzle assembly for introducing pressurized air and water to the inlet of the heat exchanger to create a mist of water droplets suspended in air; a vacuum assembly for creating a partial vacuum near the outlet of the heat exchanger to draw the mist through the passageways and to the outlet of the heat exchanger to remove heat from the heat exchanger through evaporative cooling; and a transfer mechanism for moving a medium past the heat exchanger to remove heat from the air without permitting the medium to mix with the mist drawn through the heat exchanger.
