Option 2 : Adiabatic Evaporative Cooling

Concept:

Cooling tower:  It is a heat rejection device that is used to cool the water stream by evaporating some of the water flow into an air stream.

Adiabatic evaporative cooling: Water cools due to evaporation and air gets heated and humidified. It indicates Adiabatic Humidification in the figure below.

Sensible cooling:  It is the process of extracting sensible heat from the air with an evaporator. The wet-bulb temperature and total heat content of the air decrease and the relative humidity increases. There is no change in dew point or moisture content.

Humidification/Dehumidification: ω (moisture content) increases in humidification and decreases in dehumidification but DBT remains constant.

Chemical dehumidification: In this process, Dry Bulb Temperature (DBT) increases and specific humidity (ω) decreases.
