Abstract
Energy cost has inspired design engineers to seek new means to reduce consumption as a primary cost control measure. World concern for energy supply has also added to the designer's burden. For many years, Swartwout Industries, Inc. through its Hy-dryer Systems Division, has marketed industrial drying machinery. These heat reactivated dryers can handle latent loads in industrial air conditioning systems. Through waste heat conservation, air conditioning costs can be reduced 25 to 50%, with applications of these dryers to conventional problems. In company with this approach, re-newed interest in evaporative cooling offers additional means to curb the rising cost of conditioning air for human or product comfort.
