Abstract[English]
An air conditioner (400) includes an air flow path (408) configured to direct an airflow (115, 105) in a direction. The air conditioner (400) also includes an evaporative cooling membrane panel (100) disposed within the air flow path (408) and including a face (113) disposed at an oblique angle (409) relative to the direction. The face (113) is defined by microporous fibers (104) of the evaporative cooling membrane panel (100). Each microporous fiber (104) is configured to receive liquid (107) in a fluid flow path (112) of the microporous fiber (104) such that the air flow (115, 105) over the microporous fiber (104) generates a vapor (114). Each microporous fiber (104) is also configured to release the vapor (114) into the air flow (115, 105) via pores (111) of the microporous fiber (104).[French]
Un climatiseur (400) comprend un trajet d'écoulement d'air (408) conçu pour diriger un écoulement d'air (115, 105) selon une direction. Le climatiseur (400) comprend également un panneau à membrane de refroidissement par évaporation (100) disposé à l'intérieur du trajet d'écoulement d'air (408) et comprenant une face (113) disposée selon un angle oblique (409) par rapport à la direction. La face (113) est délimitée par des fibres microporeuses (104) du panneau à membrane de refroidissement par évaporation (100). Chaque fibre microporeuse (104) est conçue pour recevoir un liquide (107) dans un trajet d'écoulement de fluide (112) de la fibre microporeuse (104) de sorte que l'écoulement d'air (115, 105) sur la fibre microporeuse (104) génère une vapeur (114). Chaque fibre microporeuse (104) est également conçue pour libérer la vapeur (114) dans l'écoulement d'air (115, 105) par l'intermédiaire de pores (111) de la fibre microporeuse (104).
