Feasibility study of evaporative cooling systems based on Maisotsenko cycle in cities of Iran

This article introduces direct and indirect evaporative cooling systems. Then a special type of indirect evaporative cooling systems working based on the Maisotsenko cycle is introduced. Systems based on the Maisotsenko cycle can ideally reduce the inlet air temperature to the dew point temperature of the inlet air. The wet-bulb efficiency of these systems is higher than other indirect evaporative cooling systems. These systems can reduce energy consumption up to 90% compared to traditional ways. In the following, by classifying the different climates of Iran, the possibility of using this system in different cities of Iran has been investigated. The obtained results show that due to the different climatic conditions of cities of Iran, using these systems is not suitable for cities with high relative humidity and large difference between dry-bulb and dew point temperatures such as Rasht, Sari, Ramsar, and Ardabil.
