The Ultracooler air conditioner uses a thermodynamic cycle called
the Maisotsenko Cycle (M-Cycle) that capitalizes on natural, clean
energy - psychrometric energy - found in our atmosphere. This cycle
can improve any energetic or refrigeration cycle.
The patented heat and mass exchanger was developed to
economically take advantage of the M-Cycle. A heat and mass
exchanger (HMX) consists of several plates of a special plastic that
is designed to wick water evenly on one side and transfer heat
through the other side. The plates are stacked on each other,
separated by channel guides.
The purpose of the channel guides is to provide structure to the
exchanger as well as direct air movement within the HMX. The channel
guides divide the incoming air stream into product air and working
air. The product air is always separate from the working air and
stays within dry channels the entire length of the exchanger. The
product air is cooled sensibly (rejecting its heat to the working
air), and can be designed to cool below the wet bulb temperature of
the incoming air stream. The product air travels the distance of the
exchanger and into the space designated for cooling.
The working air initially enters dry channels where it is
pre-cooled sensibly before it is fractioned into multiple streams
which are directed into wet channels. The heat from the product air
is transferred to the working air in the wet channels by means of
evaporation (mass transfer and state change). The heat is exhausted
out the sides of the HMX and then to the atmosphere.
Because the heat from the product air is rejected to the working
air through heat exchange surfaces in the exchanger, the product air
only experiences sensible cooling - cooling without adding
humidity. The product air stream is completely separate from the
working air and never comes in contact with a wetted surface. This
process occurs multiple times in a short physical space within the
exchanger, resulting in progressively colder product and working air
temperatures.
The HMX system is modular, so the size and shape of a Ultracooler
air conditioner can be changed to meet user requirements. The
Ultracooler computer modeling program can be used to design for
specific needs. In addition, the product air to working air ratio
can be adjusted for a particular application.
