Abstract
Misting apparatus includes a housing defined by a bottom wall, a top wall, a pair of side walls and a pair of end wall assemblies; a plenum chamber within the housing; a fan mounted in one of the end wall assemblies for supplying air flow to the plenum chamber; at least one misting nozzle located proximate to an outlet side of the fan to thereby supply droplets of water into the air flow, and a moisture eliminator mounted in the other of the end wall assemblies. The moisture eliminator is shaped to remove unevaporated water droplets from the cooled air before the air exits the plenum chamber. A method of supplying cooling air to a space includes the steps of a) adding water droplets to a flow of air to thereby generate a flow of cooled air; b) removing unevaporated water droplets from the cooled air; and c) delivering the cooled air to the space.
Description
- There are many situations where it is desired to provide evaporative cooling in an area, or of people or other living beings (such as plants or animals) within the area. For that purpose, low pressure (under 100 psi), medium pressure (100 but under 200 psi), and high pressure (200+ psi) systems are commercially available. However, most such systems, while providing effective cooling, also add humidity to the air which in some cases is undesirable. Examples of current misting systems may be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,628,273; 6,175,969 and 6,262,826. These systems are utilized in a marine environment and provide for evaporative cooling associated with watercraft. In some applications, however, it is desirable that the cooled air not have the higher humidity level generated by the use of misting nozzles that add water droplets to the air.
- According to the present invention, a compact misting apparatus or unit, usable with or without additional ducting, not only creates a high pressure mist to reduce the temperature of air flowing through the unit, but also eliminates a significant portion of the moisture before the cooled air exits the unit. In an exemplary embodiment, the misting apparatus includes a housing having top and bottom walls, a pair of side walls and a pair of end wall assemblies that, together, define an interior plenum chamber. A fan and associated misting nozzles are mounted in one of the end wall assemblies and a moisture eliminator is mounted in the opposite end wall assembly such that air is drawn into the plenum chamber by the fan and cooled by the mist introduced by the misting nozzles (via latent heat of evaporation). As the cooled air flows through the moisture eliminator, unevaporated droplets are removed before the air flows into the space or area to be cooled.
- At least one and preferably a plurality of misting nozzles are mounted in the center hub of the fan, at the outlet or downstream side of the fan, so that air flowing into the plenum chamber entrains the droplets of water emitted as a fine mist via the one or more nozzles.
- The moisture eliminator in the opposite end wall assembly may comprise a plurality of generally vertically oriented vanes provided with individual profiles that are specially shaped to turn the air flow as it passes over and through the profiled surfaces. Since the unevaporated water have a higher mass than the air, the unevaporated droplets will impinge on the vane surfaces, forming a liquid film that is pushed along the vane surfaces into areas of low pressure located behind respective hook structures formed on the vanes. Here, the liquid film coalesces into larger droplets that drain via gravity onto the bottom wall of the plenum chamber. A drain in the bottom wall returns the water to a sump from which the water is recirculated to the misting nozzles.
- A suitable pump supplies water at high pressure (typically between about 200 and 1000 psi) to the misting nozzles that are designed to emit droplets having a maximum cross sectional dimension of between about 5 and 100 microns.
- Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention relates to a misting apparatus comprising a housing defined by a bottom wall, a top wall, a pair of side walls and a pair of end wall assemblies; a plenum chamber within the housing; a fan mounted in one of the end wall assemblies for supplying air flow to the plenum chamber; at least one misting nozzle located proximate to an outlet side of the fan to thereby supply droplets of water into the air flow, the at least one misting nozzle connected to a source of water under pressure; and a moisture eliminator mounted in the other of the end wall assemblies, the moisture eliminator shaped to remove unevaporated droplets before the air flow exits the plenum chamber.
- In another aspect, the present invention relates to a method of supplying cooled air to a space comprising a) adding water droplets to a flow of air to thereby generate a flow of cooled air; b) removing unevaporated water droplets from the cooled air; and c) delivering the cooled air to the space.
- In still another aspect, the invention relates to a method of cooling an area comprising a) introducing water droplets having a size of from 5-100 microns into an airflow entering a plenum chamber to thereby cool the airflow; b) removing unevaporated water droplets from the airflow as the airflow exits the plenum chamber; and c) supplying cooled airflow to the area.
- The invention will now be described in connection with the drawings identified below.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partially cut away, illustrating a compact mating apparatus for cooling an area, with an integrated moisture eliminator in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 2 is a cross-section of a misting nozzle appropriate for use with the apparatus illustrated inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of one application for the apparatus shown inFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 4 is a schematic view of an apparatus as shown inFIG. 1 with ducting added between the apparatus and a remote outlet for the cooled air. - With reference to
FIGS. 1-3 , themisting apparatus 10 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a box-like housing 12 that is made up of abottom wall 14, atop wall 16, a pair ofside walls end wall assemblies end wall assembly 22 includes axially spacedwall sections fan 30. The assembly is secured to the housing top, bottom and side walls by any conventional means. The fan itself may be any suitable commercially available fan, for example, an 8 inch “Whisper Quiet Axial Marine Fan” available from Delta “T” Systems, Inc. of Jupiter, Fla. This fan generates flows to 607 CFM and is secured within its own flangedhousing 32 of cast aluminum that is secured by any suitable means, such as bolts, to the axially spacedwall sections end wall assembly 22. Thefan 30 includes acenter hub 34 to which is secured anozzle assembly 36 that, in the exemplary embodiment, includes a plurality of misting nozzles that may be of the type sold by Fogco Systems, Ltd., of New Castle-on-Tyne, U.K., and that are preferably constructed of brass or steel. Eachindividual nozzle 38 may include one or more nozzle orifices 39 (not drawn to scale), each having a diameter of between about 0.2-0.5 mm. When supplied with water at a pressure of between about 200-1000 psi, the orifice(s) 39 of thenozzles 38 deliver a mist of water droplets having a maximum cross sectional dimension of between about 5-100 microns. This provides maximum flash evaporative cooling (the latent heat of evaporation of water is about 600 calories/gm), to reduce the temperature of the airflow in the plenum chamber by about 12-15° F. - Water is supplied to the
misting nozzles 38 by means of a tube orconduit 40 that is connected to a pump (not shown). The pump per se is not part of this invention, and any suitable pump or other device for pressurizing liquid to a pressure of about 200 to 1000 psi may be utilized. For example, one suitable pressurizing pump is a Triplex Direct Drive Plunger Pump Model 2SF sold by Cat Pumps of Minneapolis, Minn. The mist emitted from thenozzles 38 is entrained into the airflow exiting thefan 30 in the direction of the flow arrow inFIG. 1 in a direction from the end wall assembly 22 (the inlet end) towards the end wall assembly 24 (or outlet end). Thus, the mist laden air flows through aplenum chamber 42 within thehousing 12 toward theend wall assembly 24.End wall assembly 24 is also comprised of axially spacedwall sections moisture eliminator assembly 48. This assembly is also secured to the top, bottom and side walls by any conventional means, and comprises a plurality of generally verticallyoriented vanes 50 that are each formed with a curved profile so that air flowing in the flow direction is caused to turn as it flows between the vanes. - Each
vane 50 is formed with anintegral hook portion 52 that creates alow pressure area 54 along the vertical length of the vanes. In operation, since the unevaporated mist or moisture droplets have a higher mass than air, they cannot change direction as quickly as air and, as the air flows through thevanes 50, the moisture droplets impinge upon the surfaces of thevanes 50, forming a liquid film that is driven by the air flow into thelow pressure areas 54 between thehook portions 52 andvanes 50. As water collects in these low pressure areas, it will coalesce and form droplets that drain by gravity through one ormore slots 54 in thewall section 44, onto thebottom wall 14 of the housing. The water will then flow through adrain 56 to a sump (not shown) from which water will be recycled to themisting nozzles 38 on thehub 34 of thefan 30. - It will be appreciated that the apparatus as described may be located behind the wall of an interior space, with the
end wall assembly 24 andmoisture eliminator 48 located flush with the wall surface so that cooled relatively dry air will flow into the area where cooling is desired. One such example is shown inFIG. 3 where theapparatus 10 is mounted behind anexterior wall 58, with theend wall assembly 24 substantially flush with the outside surface of thewall 58, such that cooled air is supplied to a patio oroutside eating area 60 of, for example, a restaurant. Of course, the site location of the unit may be varied as desired. -
FIG. 4 illustrates, schematically, another embodiment where amisting unit 62 similar tounit 10 inFIG. 1 , is located remote from a cool air supply vent orgrill 64 mounted on avertical wall 66, withducting 68 extending between theunit 62 andvent 64. It will be understood that the moisture eliminator may be integrated with theunit 64 similar to the arrangement inFIG. 1 , or it may be incorporated into thevent 64. - While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
