Air Conditioning System with Evaporative Cooling Apparatus.

Abstract

An air conditioning system is described which incorporates evaporative cooling apparatus adapted to sequentially pass compressed air from a compressor through a heat exchanger and expansion cooling turbine and into an enclosure. A condensate extractor is interposed downstream of the expansion cooling turbine and located above the heat exchanger. A nozzle is mounted to the heat exchanger and connected via a water conduit to the condensate extractor so that gravity delivers extracted condensate to the nozzle. The nozzle communicates via an air conduit with the compressor so that compressed air disperses the extracted condensate through the nozzle to impinge upon the heat exchanger thereby effectuating evaporative cooling.
