Abstract
To study the heat and mass transfer characteristics of an evaporative cooler for cooling high-temperature working fluids, an experimental device of the evaporative cooler was built, and a corresponding test system was constructed. Then, the experimental study was carried out based on an orthogonal experimental design, and the law and extent of the influence of water flow in the tube, the spray water flow rate, the inlet water temperature in the tube, and the air flow rate on the heat dissipation, cooling efficiency, and heat and mass transfer coefficients were obtained. The correlation equations of the heat and mass transfer coefficients were obtained by fitting the orthogonal experimental data, and the validity of the correlation equations was confirmed by the verification experiment.
