EVAPORATION TYPE COOLER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an evaporation type cooler capable of suppressing increase of electric power consumption and suppressing increase of a consumption of cooling water.SOLUTION: An evaporation type cooler comprises a fluid flow pipe having a heat transfer property for letting a fluid to be cooled flow, a water absorption member which is installed to cover the outer surface of the fluid flow pipe and has a water absorbing property, a water supply part supplying water to the water absorption member, and a gas supply part which supplies a gas to the water absorbed into the water absorption member to make the fluid to be cooled in the fluid flow pipe radiate heat by evaporative latent heat of the water to cool the same. The water supply part has plural water supply ports capable of supplying water, which generates the evaporative latent heat necessary for cooling the fluid to be cooled, to the water absorption member.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】電力消費の増大を抑制可能であり、また冷却水の消費量の増大を抑制可能な蒸発式冷却器を提供する。【解決手段】蒸発式冷却器は、伝熱性を有して被冷却流体を流すための流体流通管と、前記流体流通管の外側面を覆うように装着されて含水性を有する水吸収部材と、前記水吸収部材に水を供給する給水部と、前記水吸収部材に吸収された水に気体を供給して前記水の蒸発潜熱により前記流体流通管内の前記被冷却流体を放熱させて冷却する気体供給部と、を備え、前記給水部は、前記被冷却流体を冷却するために必要な蒸発潜熱が生じる水を前記水吸収部材に供給可能な給水口を複数有して構成されている。【選択図】図１
