This presentation explores evaporative cooling technologies that can vastly reduce onsite energy use of building systems. Systems explored include direct and indirect airside systems, as well as evaporative pre-filters at condensers. These new systems are compared on an energy and cost basis to conventional air-cooled systems or hydronic systems with a conventional plant and cooling tower. A case study compares the benefits of different systems in climates across the United States to examine the benefits available in different regions.
