Employing the spray system to alleviate the thermal action of air-conditioning in summer

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 55, P. 104133 - 104133

Published: Feb. 17, 2024

Widespread adoption of air-conditioning significantly enhances indoor thermal comfort in summer, but the heat dissipation from these outdoor units contributes to an increase ambient air temperature, exacerbating urban island effects. Consequently, as conditions worsen, energy consumption associated with is likely escalate. The spray system becomes a suitable choice due obvious advantage absorption through droplet evaporation. To assess effectiveness reducing release, comparative study was conducted between two identical buildings same system, only one which incorporated system. Three installed locations are considered location inlet (Case 1), outlet 2) and both & 3) units. results demonstrated average temperatures were reduced by 4.0 °C, 6.3 7.9 °C for Cases 1–3, respectively, accompanied reduction 18.8%, 13.9%, 37.3% respectively. most significant benefits observed when unit 3). established virtuous cycle improvement, evaporation enhancement, temperature reduction.
