The nozzle chamber, in which water is sprayed into the air stream using mechanical nozzles, is the main unit for these processes in central air conditioning systems (AHUs). The types of nozzles used do not have a sufficiently high effect of interfacial surface forming due to increased metal usage and the broad total dimensions of certain chambers, i.e., they do not have intensive heat and mass transfer. The authors performed testing of the apparatus in the direct iso-enthalpic air cooling mode to improve the performance of the nozzle chamber. Thus, the experiments conducted confirm the relatively high efficiency of FET operation at small values of irrigation coefficient B ≥ 1.0. The area highlighted is characterised by the unstable operation of other nozzle types. Therefore, FET nozzles can be operated at irrigation factor values B = 0.1…1.0. Experiments have shown that this equation is applicable for practical calculations, with a relative error of ±6.7%. The aerodynamic resistance of the spray chamber nozzle chambers is also according to the data not exceeding 160 Pa.
Issues of microclimate mitigation in Uzbekistan during the summer period require urgent resolution. It should be noted that currently there are very few research, as well as practical recommendations related to the formation of a favorable microclimatic environment in cities with a hot climate. The simplest and most economical way of cooling, in dry and hot climates, is the evaporative cooling of a dry air stream. One of the possible ways to increase the efficiency of the system is the use of night evaporative cooling of water, followed by its accumulation for daytime cooling in heat-insulated batteries. The conducted experiments testify that rather simple and cheap natural sources of cold can be used along with machine cold sources for air conditioning of residential buildings in Uzbekistan.
The paper describes the calculation of evaporative-radiant cooling of recycled water in summer air-conditioning systems. A differential equation for the heat balance of water flowing down an inclined plane is derived. As one possible way of increasing the efficiency of air conditioning systems based on cooling water by adiabatic evaporation in the air flow the use of night-time evaporative cooling of the water, followed by daytime cooling in insulated storage tanks. The temperature of the water chilled in this way is 3-4 ℃ lower than the temperature of the water chilled during the day, and the final water temperature is close to the saturation temperature of the outside air. The equations for calculation of mass transfer coefficients, radiation and heat transfer coefficient of an insulated bottom of an evaporative-radiant water-cooling unit are given. Based on the Mathcad program and the result of the calculation, the dependence of the final water temperature on the initial water temperature is obtained. As a result of the calculation, the specific heat capacity of the evaporative radiant water-cooling unit for the production of free cooling is determined.
