The Maisotsenko Cycle
The Maisotsenko Cycle
(OP)
Have you guys ever experienced this equipment? They claim that the air db temperature can be reduced below its initial wbt. I have been trying for hours to understand the process on a psychro chart now at the verge of forgetting what I know sofar. But they say it works and got some awards already.

Unfortunately I don't have the book with me. Can you send the pages?
Actually this site doesn't talk about using external sources for either cooling or heating. They just manage it with the same air and use water injection for evaporative cooling.

I guess I can see how it works, but wonder if the extra metal to run counterflow tubes is worth it? Are you running numbers now for a new system design? Would like to know if it makes economic sense, what the payback is.
RE: The Maisotsenko Cycle
Thanks a ton. I got it. The process in the above link seems to be a bit different. I am in touch with those people and got something to read(report by DOE).
Btrueblood,
This topic came up in another website forum. I think I gathered sufficient data to do the analysis. Will let you know if I come up with anything.
PS: The manufacturer says it is better to go with a 95% safer design approach though the test results prove 100% whereas theoretical claims were above 100%(actually they say it is just above dew point)

Its a neat way to create a very high capacitance for evaporation, but one caveat: it kind of stalls out as you approach frosting temperatures, as the whole premise breaks down when the channels start to fill up with frost.
