摘要
The principle of an indirect evaporative cooler using porous ceramic as the cooling source and a heat pipe as the heat transfer device is presented in this paper. A heat and mass transfer mathematical model is developed to simulate the properties of the indirect evaporative cooler. The simulation results are verified by the experimental data. The theoretical model can be used to predict the performance of the indirect evaporative cooler. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
