Water mist cooling system

Abstract

An indoor and outdoor cooling system that is provided with a one or more nozzles that are adapted to spray a fine water mist into the air. The cooling system also includes a fan and a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier is adapted to introduce dehumidified air into the area being cooled. The mixing of the dry dehumidified air with the water mist causes the water mist to evaporate which causes the removal of the vaporization heat from the surrounding air to lower the air temperature.

1 . An indoor and outdoor cooling system for cooling a given area, the cooling system comprising:
 a pressurized water supply;   at least one water nozzle coupled to the pressurized water supply, the water nozzle adapted to spray water in fine droplets to form a mist;   an air compressor for compressing air;   a dehumidifier system for dehumidifying the air compressed by the air compressor;   an air nozzle that is adapted to expel air that has been modified by the air compressor and dehumidifier system, the air nozzle positioned to lie near the water nozzle, and   a fan adapted to assist in mixing the mist and the modified air to cause evaporation of the mist, which causes a decrease in the temperature of the given area.   
   
   
       2 . The cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the dehumidifier system uses porous moisture absorbent materials to dehumidify the pressurized air. 
   
   
       3 . The cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the dehumidifier system uses a desiccant type dehumidifier. 
   
   
       4 . The cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the dehumidifier system uses a membrane dryer type dehumidifier. 
   
   
       5 . The cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the dehumidifier system uses an adsorption type dehumidifier. 
   
   
       6 . The cooling system of  claim 5 , wherein the absorption type dehumidifier includes a first tower of absorbing material and a second tower of absorbing material and further including a valve that allows for the selective transfer of compressed air between the towers. 
   
   
       7 . The cooling system of  claim 2 , wherein the fan blade is positioned behind the water nozzle and the air nozzle. 
   
   
       8 . The cooling system of  claim 7 , further including a housing, wherein the fan blade is positioned within the housing. 
   
   
       9 . The cooling system of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one water nozzle is coupled to a water manifold. 
   
   
       10 . The cooling system of  claim 2 , wherein the porous moisture absorbent material is zeolite. 
   
   
       11 . An indoor and outdoor cooling system for cooling a given area, the cooling system comprising:
 a pressurized water supply;   at least one water nozzle coupled to the pressurized water supply, the water nozzle adapted to spray water in fine droplets to form a mist;   a compressed air supply;   a dehumidifier system for dehumidifying the compressed air supply;   an air nozzle that is adapted to expel compressed dehumidified, the air nozzle positioned to lie near the water nozzle, and   wherein the mist and the dehumidified air mix to cause the mist to evaporate and decrease the temperature of the air in the given area.   
   
   
       12 . The cooling system of  claim 11 , wherein the dehumidifier system uses porous moisture absorbent materials to dehumidify the pressurized air. 
   
   
       13 . The cooling system of  claim 11 , wherein the dehumidifier system uses a desiccant type dehumidifier. 
   
   
       14 . The cooling system of  claim 11 , wherein the dehumidifier system uses a membrane dryer type dehumidifier. 
   
   
       15 . The cooling system of  claim 11 , wherein the dehumidifier system uses an adsorption type dehumidifier. 
   
   
       16 . The cooling system of  claim 15 , wherein the absorption type dehumidifier includes a first tower of absorbing material and a second tower of absorbing material and further including a valve that allows for the selective transfer of compressed air between the towers. 
   
   
       17 . The cooling system of  claim 12 , wherein the cooling system includes a fan blade that is positioned behind the water nozzle and the air nozzle. 
   
   
       18 . The cooling system of  claim 17 , wherein the cooling system further includes a housing, and wherein the fan blade is positioned within the housing. 
   
   
       19 . The cooling system of  claim 17 , wherein the at least one water nozzle is coupled to a water manifold. 
   
   
       20 . The cooling system of  claim 12 , wherein the porous moisture absorbent material is zeolite.
