The effect of humidity on the Deletc Eco-Cooler

Question:

Hello,
I'm from Bombay, India. I was wondering how effective the Eco Cooler M would be in a 1000L tank in a city like Mumbai, where the humidity is over 90% (assuming the cooler is placed outside/balcony)?

Thanks,

Adriel
 



Answer:

Adriel

The humidity will have an affect on the efficiency of the unit as high humidity will reduce evaporation.

It is generally based on a humidity of 50% when we size the unit.

If it is outside then you normally have a higher efficiency as the water vapour is easier to remove and the incoming air is normally drier.

From about 80% the cooling effect drops off rapidly and so it does not really make sense financially if the humidity is always over 90%

Thank you for the interest though

Regards

Stuart
