Apparatus:
Air washer unit, Wet and dry bulb temperature and psychrometer chart.
Theory:
An air washer is used for heating, cooling, humidifying and dehumidifying of the
air. In the winter season warm water is sprayed to increase the moisture content of
the dry air whereas in summer cold water is sprayed to decrease its moisture
content. Air washer is also used for cleaning of the air. The air first flows the
through the filter that separates dust from the air stream and then to the water
sprays the removes the remaining impurities by washing. The air washer is actually
an adiabatic air saturator in which the air follows a constant wet bulb process.
Knowing the dry bulb temperature of air at the inlet and outlet of the air washer,
wet bulb temperature, the efficency of air washer can be calculated as the follows.
