![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Energy saving potential of an indirect evaporative cooler as a pre-cooling unit for mechanical cooling systems in Iran Energy saving potential of an indirect evaporative cooler as a pre-cooling unit for mechanical cooling systems in Iran](/preview/png/264180.png)
The performance of indirect evaporative cooling system (IEC) to pre-cool air for a conventional mechanical cooling system has been investigated for four cities of Iran. For this purpose, a combined experimental setup consisting of an IEC unit followed by a packaged unit air conditioner (PUA) was designed, constructed and tested. Two air simulators were designed and used to simulate indoor heating load and outdoor design conditions. Using of experimental data and an appropriate analytical method, the performance and energy reduction capability of combined system has been evaluated through the cooling season. The results indicate IEC can reduce cooling load up to 75% during cooling seasons. Also, 55% reduction in electrical energy consumption of PUA can be obtained.
