  2. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

    An evaporative cooler (also known as evaporative air conditioner, swamp cooler, swamp box, desert cooler and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water. Evaporative cooling differs from other air conditioning systems, which use vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycles.

    diagram of a double-effect falling film evaporator. Condensing vapors from flash tank B1 heat evaporator A2. •1=feed •2=product •3=steam •4=vapors. In chemical engineering, a multiple-effect evaporator is an apparatus for efficiently using the heat from steam to evaporate water. [1]

  4. Evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator

    In this system, the engine-cooling water is passed through a heat exchange, where it is cooled by concentrated seawater. Because the cooling water, which is chemically treated fresh water, is at a temperature of 70–80 °C (158–176 °F), it would not be possible to flash off any water vapor unless the pressure in the heat exchanger vessel is ...

  5. Heat recovery ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_ventilation

    A heat recovery system helps keep a house ventilated while recovering heat being emitted from the inside environment. The purpose of heat recovery systems is to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another fluid, from one fluid to a solid, or from a solid surface to a fluid at different temperatures and in thermal contact.

  6. Passive cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_cooling

    Passive cooling covers all natural processes and techniques of heat dissipation and modulation without the use of energy. [1] Some authors consider that minor and simple mechanical systems (e.g. pumps and economizers) can be integrated in passive cooling techniques, as long they are used to enhance the effectiveness of the natural cooling process.

  7. Water heat recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heat_recycling

    Installing a water heat recycler reduces energy consumption and thus greenhouse gas emissions and the overall energy dependency of the household. Typical retail price for a domestic drain water heat recovery unit ranges from around $400 to $1,000 Canadian. For a regular household, water heating is usually about 20% of overall energy demand.
