A flow of ambient air is passed through the dry tube side and a resulting stream of dry cooled air is recovered. The streams of moist and cooled air are combined and the resulting stream of combined air is discharged into the exterior of the structure.

The subject invention can be utilized to transfer heat from a heat source to a coolant such that the transferred heat can be effectively transported to another location. Examples of heat sources from which heat can be transferred from include, for example, fluids and surfaces. The coolant to which the heat is transferred can be sprayed onto a surface which is in thermal contact with the heat source, such that the coolant sprayed onto the surface in thermal contact with the heat absorbs heat from the surface and carries the absorbed heat away as the coolant leaves the surface. The surface can be, for example, the surface of an interface plate in thermal contact with the heat source or a surface integral with the heat source. The coolant sprayed onto the surface can initially be a liquid and remain a liquid after absorbing the heat, or can in part or in whole be converted to a gas or vapor after absorbing the heat.

Abstract: With the proposed evaporative air-cooling system, we can achieve the reduction of the temperature of a space by making use of the natural characteristic of water to absorb heat during its vaporization from the body with which it is in contact. It comprises large wet surfaces created with a small mass of water within a limited space due to the activation of the molecular powers of water and of other material with molecular powers relevant to the ones of water. These wet surfaces are thin cloths, made of cotton or other material with features similar to that of cotton, impregnated with water in a controlled manner so that they can be kept wet at all times. These moistened cloths (12) are placed on bodies (G2) inside which the air of the space to be cooled circulates. Thus, when a vaporization is effected from the wet surfaces into the free atmosphere, heat is absorbed by these bodies producing a “vaporization cold” inside them.
