Abstract AR

تقدم الورقة وصفا لمبرد بالتبخر اللامباشر لمكون من أنبوب حراري مضمن في فخار نفاذ.

أجريت تجارب لاختبار تأثير خصائص الفخار كالنافذية و سمك الجدران و القطر الخارجي للأنبوب الفخاري على فاعلية المبرد.

كما تمت دراسة فاعلية المبرد في تبريد غرفة قياس سعة 18 م3 و قد لوحظ انخفاض في درجة الحرارة بمقدار 8 و 3 درجة على مقياس سلسيس لكل متر مربع من الفخار.

Abstract EN

An indirect evaporative cooler incorporating a porous ceramic and a heat pipe was described.

Experiments were carried out to examine the effects of various ceramic properties, such as porosity, wall thickness, and outside diameter.

Use of the cooler for a chilled ceiling in an environmental chamber was also investigated.

Atemperature drop of 3.8oC per square metre of ceramic surface area was achieved for an 18 m chamber
