本文讨论了各种类型的蒸发或绝热饱和冷却系统的运行。特别关注多级系统，并讨论了几个独特且相对未知的系统。结果表明，在该国许多地区，送风温度可能与机械制冷系统的送风温度相当。还显示了在100%外部空气系统和传统再循环系统上使用蒸发辅助冷却的效果。对美国六个城市的一栋建筑进行了模拟，根据不同的气候条件选择，并证明蒸发冷却可以节省传统机械冷却能量的10%到100%。在大多数情况下，系统成本仍然相对较高，回报相对较长。引文:研讨会论文，佐治亚州亚特兰大，1984年

This paper discusses the operation of various types of evaporative or adiabatic saturation cooling systems. Particular attention is given to multistage systems and several unique and relatively unknown systems are discussed. It is shown that it is possible to have supply air temperatures equivalent to those of mechanical refrigeration systems in many parts of the country. Also shown is the effect of using evaporative assist cooling on hundred percent outside air systems and on conventional recirculating systems. A building was simulated in six U.S. cities selected for differing climates and demonstrated that evaporative cooling can save from ten to one hundred percent of the conventional mechanical cooling energy. System costs are still relatively high and payback relatively long in most cases.
