Abstract
Evaporative cooling is a kind of technology to utilize the decalescence and cooling of evaporation of water. In order to decrease the relative humidity of outdoor fresh air and improve the applied range of evaporative cooling techniques, a novel evaporative cooling experimental system that employs solar energy powered reel dehumidifying system to pretreat the outdoor fresh air is proposed in this research. Experimental tests for this system were performed in a typical residential building in Xi'an. The result shows that the evaporative cooling system can effectively decrease the indoor temperature to 28℃, and maintain the relative humidity to about 70%. The solar energy powered reel dehumidifying system can further improve the operation effect of this system. The research result has directive significance to promote the evaporative cooling system in the future application in residential buildings.
