Abstract

An air conditioning system and method whereby water sprays are arranged and modulated in air washers from recirculated water and a cooled or non-cooled central water source to provide precise psychometric (dry bulb temperature, relative humidity, dew point temperature and specific humidity) conditions in the space being conditioned while conserving energy by reducing the cooling load, reducing the pumping horsepower load, and eliminating reheat under all weather conditions. This system also reduces maintenance and operating costs by allowing chemical treatment, makeup water, water overflow, and water filtration to be provided in a central location even with multiple air washers and water chillers.
