ABSTRACT:
A cooler for use with gaseous process fluids such as air containing a vapor has a vapor adsorption unit for passing process air through an adsorption media to dry the air, a heat exchanger to control the temperature of the heat adsorption media and process air, a vapor removal system for removing the adsorbed vapor from the adsorption media, and a humidification unit to add a vaporizable liquid to the dried process air, so as to vaporize the liquid into the dried process air. Thus, heat in the process air is utilized for the latent heat of vaporization of the liquid to reduce the temperature in such process air, while maintaining a predetermined humidity level in said air. The vaporizable liquid may be sprayed into the process fluid as a mist. Excess cooled coalesced liquid may be used in a heat exchanger to precool the process fluid before it enters the humidifier. The invention includes a method of chilling a gaseous fluid, by means of adsorption of vapor from such fluid while controlling the temperature thereof, and subsequently adding a vaporizable liquid to such dried fluid whereby to vaporize such liquid and thus cool the fluid.
