Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2595739A] An apparatus for cooling a first air stream 10, the apparatus comprising: a first air flow path 100 that passes the first air stream sequentially through a first cooling section 13, an evaporator section 14, a low-grade condenser section 21 and a direct evaporative cooling section 16; a second air flow path 200 that passes a second air stream 20 through a high-grade condenser section 24; and a refrigerant circuit interconnecting the evaporator section and the high-grade condenser section, wherein: the first cooling section 13 is configured to cool the first air stream; the evaporator section 14 is configured to cool the first air stream by passing heat from the first air stream to a refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit; the low-grade condenser section 21 is configured to heat the first air stream; the direct evaporative cooling section16 is configured to cool and humidify the first air stream; and the high-grade condenser section 24 is configured to cool the refrigerant of the refrigerant circuit by transferring heat from the refrigerant to the second air stream.
