Abstract
An adiabatic process condensing unit is disclosed for incorporation in air conditioning systems operating in a non-conventional manner to achieve superior energy-saving results. The condensing coils wherein hot Freon gas from the compressor is cooled and condensed to provide liquid Freon for delivery to the evaporator is contained within a path for conducting cooling air therethrough. Prior to passing through the condensing coil, the cooling air is passed through an adiabatic pad wherein it is cooled to wet bulb temperature such that the condensing coil is cooled by wet bulb temperature air rather than ambient air. Additionally, the liquid Freon from the condensing coil is passed through a cooling coil submerged in wet bulb temperature water to provide additional cooling of the liquid Freon. In the preferred embodiment shown, the structure is designed to assure that all air passing through the condenser coil is at wet bulb temperature. Non-conventional sizing relationships between the system components are described which achieve maximum energy conservation.
