Baics
- OSE's Design for a Dessicant-Humidifier Cycle Refrigeration based Hydronic Cooling system
Existing Open Source Designs
Minimum Viable Product
Basic Design
Part A
Part/Componet B
BOM
Column Packing
- Should be simpler than a Spray Tower system due to it's "open" nature (even if in a sealed+clean container, it doesn't have a sealed pressurized liquid tube)
- Bioballs would work and are inexpensive
- Stainless Steel Scrubbers based packing would work as well (would a conductive packing offer any advantages over thermally insulative plastic? )
Fans
- Inline Fans may work, but the added pressure of a centrifugal fan should help with "pushing the air through the packed column?"
- This ties into the spray tower vs packed column issue
- "VIVOSUN 4 Inch 195 CFM Inline Duct Ventilation Fan" ( ~33 USD Each)
Power Distribution
- The fans will run on AC power, so a "power bar" style surge protector should suffice
Pumps
- "Fountain Pumps" usually go for ~20-50 usd each (need to determine GPH flow needed/diminishing returns on higher flow?)
PVC Pipe
- 4in PVC Pipe seems like the largest size at the local "Home Depot" store
PVC Pipe Fittings
- Will need a Y fitting at the base to have the sump seperated from the air inlet
- Also want caps for the sump
- Any fittings for the tops?
