  • Patent number: 4489565
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the provision of cooling through the utilization of aerosol sprays is disclosed. The hot water output of a load device is stored until low ambient temperatures exist, whereupon the hot water is atomized and exposed to the ambient air to be cooled thereby. A spray cooling system can also be combined with an artificial ice making system to provide even lower load device input temperatures. Specialized insulating devices can be used in connection with the artificially made ice to decrease the heat transfer between the ice and the ambient air during warm weather.
