What is evaporative cooling?

Answer 1

Evaporative wet cooling is just what it sounds like. In a system using said principles, we evaporate a "wet" coolant and take advantage of the heat sinking ability of the liquid to absorb thermal energy when it changes state from a liquid to a gas or vapor. We're all familiar with the feeling of "coolness" on our bodies in certain situations. Let's say it's a hot day, and we've been standing in a closed space for a while. Our bodies get damp as we perspire. Now let's say we step out into a breeze, and we notice that our arms suddenly feel cool. That's the sweat evaporating off our skin and taking some of the thermal energy that is distributed there with it when it goes. Presto! We feel immediately cooler on our skin as more and more water evaporates and takes more energy with it. In the standard swamp cooler, we see a mesh of so-called batting held around a fan assembly. Water is pumped up over the batting and allowed to dribble down through it. The fan pulls outside air through the moist batting, and evaporative cooling draws thermal energy out of that air. That air is then cooler. The cool air is then directed out of the fan and into a space we wish to cool. Simple evaporative wet cooling.

Answer 2

Evaporative

cooling - as a liquid evaporates, the surface of the liquid that remains behind cools down. It occurs because the "hottest" molecules, those with the greatest kinetic energy

, are the most likely to leave as gas.

Answer 3

It is the component of the A/C system that is located in the passenger compartment of the vehicle

Answer 4

a system or process in which the heat is removed from an object by the evaporation ofa liquid coolant; also, the process in which outside air is pre-cooled before passingthrough a space.

Answer 5

No....
