Building level dehumidification and cooling

摘要

A system for cooling heat producing components in a building includes a duct coupled to a room of the building and one or more air moving devices. The duct includes a constricted section. The air moving devices move air through the constricted section of the duct such that water in the air is converted from water vapor to water droplets. The water droplets are carried downstream from the constricted section in a two-phase mixture comprising air and water.

主权项

1. A method of removing heat from electrical systems in a building, comprising:
moving air through a constricted section of a duct such that at least a portion of water in the air is converted from water vapor to water droplets; moving a two-phase mixture comprising air and at least a portion of the water droplets; and cooling one or more electrical devices using at least a portion of the two-phase mixture.
