  2. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

    Evaporative cooling of ordinary helium forms a 1-K pot, which can cool to at least 1.2 K. Evaporative cooling of helium-3 can provide temperatures below 300 mK. These techniques can be used to make cryocoolers, or as components of lower-temperature cryostats such as dilution refrigerators. As the temperature decreases, the vapor pressure of the ...

  3. Pot-in-pot refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot-in-pot_refrigerator

    Pot-in-pot refrigerator. A clay pot cooler filled with vegetables. A pot-in-pot refrigerator, clay pot cooler[ 1] or zeer ( Arabic: زير) is an evaporative cooling refrigeration device which does not use electricity. It uses a porous outer clay pot (lined with wet sand) containing an inner pot (which can be glazed to prevent penetration by ...

  4. Turbine inlet air cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbine_Inlet_Air_Cooling

    Turbine inlet air cooling is a group of technologies and techniques consisting of cooling down the intake air of the gas turbine. The direct consequence of cooling the turbine inlet air is power output augmentation. It may also improve the energy efficiency of the system. [ 1] This technology is widely used in hot climates with high ambient ...

  5. Windcatcher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windcatcher

    Aghazadeh Mansion in Abarkooh, Iran, has an elaborate 18-m windtower with two levels of openings, plus some smaller windtowers. A windcatcher, wind tower, or wind scoop ( Persian: بادگیر) is a traditional architectural element, originated in Iran (Persia), used to create cross ventilation and passive cooling in buildings. [ 1]

  6. Passive cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_cooling

    A traditional Iranian solar cooling design using a wind tower. Passive cooling is a building design approach that focuses on heat gain control and heat dissipation in a building in order to improve the indoor thermal comfort with low or no energy consumption. [ 1][ 2] This approach works either by preventing heat from entering the interior ...

  7. Cooling tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower

    This equivalent ton is defined as the heat rejection in cooling 3 US gallons per minute (11 litres per minute) or 1,500 pounds per hour (680 kg/h) of water by 10 °F (5.6 °C), which amounts to 15,000 British thermal units per hour (4.4 kW), assuming a chiller coefficient of performance (COP) of 4.0. [14]

    Heath B-4 engine, 25 hp at 2800 rpm. Certificated (CAA, ATC-456) [4] June 3, 1932. LNA-40 Parasol Wingspan of 31 ft 5 in (9.58 m), V-form struts. One or two seats. 465 pound empty weight. Door moved to opposite side of fuselage to accommodate hand-propping the clockwise turning 37 hp (28 kW) (at 2550 rpm) Continental A40 powerplant. First built ...

  9. Evaporative cooling chambers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooling_chambers

    Evaporative cooling chambers. Evaporative cooling chambers (ECCs), also known as "zero energy cool chambers" (ZECCs), are a type of evaporative cooler, which are simple and inexpensive ways to keep vegetables fresh without the use of electricity. Evaporation of water from a surface removes heat, creating a cooling effect, which can improve ...
