2. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

   The system has very high efficiency but, like other evaporative cooling systems, is constrained by the ambient humidity levels, which has limited its adoption for residential use. It may be used as supplementary cooling during times of extreme heat without placing significant additional burden on electrical infrastructure.

3. Absorption refrigerator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_refrigerator

   Both types use evaporative cooling: when the refrigerant evaporates (boils), it takes some heat away with it, providing the cooling effect. The main difference between the two systems is the way the refrigerant is changed from a gas back into a liquid so that the cycle can repeat.

4. Cooling tower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower

   Since the cooling towers are based on the principles of evaporative cooling, the maximum cooling tower efficiency depends on the wet bulb temperature of the air. The wet-bulb temperature is a type of temperature measurement that reflects the physical properties of a system with a mixture of a gas and a vapor, usually air and water vapor

5. Vacuum cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_cooling

   Vacuum cooling is a rapid cooling technique for any porous product that has free water and uses the principle of evaporative cooling.Vacuum cooling is generally used for cooling food products that have a high water content and large porosities, due to its efficacy in losing water from both within and outside the products.

6. Evaporation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

   Demonstration of evaporative cooling. When the sensor is dipped in ethanol and then taken out to evaporate, the instrument shows progressively lower temperature as the ethanol evaporates. Rain evaporating after falling on hot pavement. Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. [1]

7. Wet-bulb temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature

   The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that may be achieved by evaporative cooling of a water-wetted, ventilated surface.. By contrast, the dew point is the temperature to which the ambient air must be cooled to reach 100% relative humidity assuming there is no further evaporation into the air; it is the temperature where condensation (dew) and clouds would form.
