Description
Summary:To improve the performance of an air-conditioning system (A/C) in sub-tropical climates This paper presents an experimental study by studying the double effect of indirect evaporative cooling integrated with heat pipe heat exchanger (HPHE) on sensible heat recovery as well as the coefficient of performance (COP). In this study, HPHE was used consisting of two rows of copper tubes with a diameter of 0.014 m, and length of the evaporator is 0.3 m, the condenser is 0.3 m and the adiabatic is 0.15 m. The results showed that the use of a heat pipe heat exchanger decrease the temperature of air inlet condenser of (A/C) system from (2-3) degree and improves the coefficient of performance by 10 % when compared to conventional cooling systems. HPHE filled with acetone with filling rate of 70%.
