MULTI-UNIT EVAPORATIVE COOLING SYSTEM FOR STRATIFIED THERMAL AIR CONDITIONING

The invention relates to a multi-unit air conditioning system that conditions ambient air below the wet bulb temperature without the use of a mechanical vapor compression system. The system includes two or more individual units. Each unit can include a heat exchanger and evaporative porous media. By varying output of one or more cooling units and controlling water circulation, the system can condition air to variable temperatures. The system can produce a stratified air flow, whereby layers or pockets of air with discernable dry bulb temperatures and/or humidity remain intact. This can improve efficiency of the system and thermal comfort. 本发明涉及一种多单元空气调节系统，所述多单元空气调节系统在不使用机械蒸汽压缩系统的情况下将环境空气调节到湿球温度以下。所述系统包括两个或更多个单独的单元。每个单元都可以包括热交换器和蒸发多孔介质。通过改变一个或多个冷却单元的输出和控制水循环，所述系统可以将空气调节至可变温度。所述系统可以产生分层空气流，从而使具有可辨别的干球温度和/或湿度的空气层或气穴保持完整。这可以提高所述系统的效率和热舒适性。
