Abstract
A cooling apparatus for an air conditioner or a refrigeration system for reducing the cost of operation and maintenance without utilizing electricity, without the need of a supply of fluid that is specially pressurized and without the deposition of nonevaporative components of the fluid. The air conditioner or refrigeration system has an air cooled coil and means for producing a current of air for cooling the coil. The cooling apparatus comprises: (a) a reservoir of fluid, (b) means for transferring the fluid from the reservoir to the cooling apparatus, (c) a fluid control device activated by the current of air for cooling the coil, the fluid control device directly engages the flow of and the pressure of the fluid for restricting the flow of the fluid therethrough when the current of air for cooling the coil is not operative and for permitting the flow of fluid therethrough when the current of air for cooling the coil is operative, (d) a fluid treatment device for affecting the nonevaporative components of the fluid prior to engaging the fluid with the coil to prevent, to inhibit or to mitigate the deposition of the nonevaporative components on the coil, (e) means for spraying silicone on the coils prior to engaging the coils with the fluid, and (f) means for dispersing the fluid to the coil from the fluid control device for further cooling the coil and increasing the efficiency of the air conditioner or the refrigeration system.
