Abstract

The increasing use of non-renewable energy causes increasing greenhouse gas emissions, so that this can have a negative
impact on the environment. One of the uses of non-renewable energy that needs to be reduced is the cooling sector.
Environmentally friendly energy in the cooling sector is the use of evaporative cooling, one of which is M-IEC which is included
in indirect evaporative cooling and is included in the development of the evaporative cooling type, because it combines the
direct evaporative cooling process and indirect evaporative cooling. In this study, the Maisotsenko-Indirect Evaporative
Cooling cooling system was carried out with a counter flow air pattern by varying the primary air mass flow rate of 0.055296
kg / s, 0.041472 kg / s and 0.027648 kg / s. The distribution of the primary air mass flow rate will greatly affect the inlet air
temperature and outlet air temperature, the highest ?TDB is obtained at a primary air mass flow rate of 0.027648 kg/s, the
highest wet bulb effectiveness (?wb) and dew point effectiveness (?dp) occur at a primary air mass flow rate of 0.027648 kg/s
due to the factor that the lower the air mass flow rate, followed by the low dry bulb temperature will produce higher
effectiveness. The highest cooling capacity (Qs) occurs at a primary air mass flow rate of 0.05296 kg/s because the maisotsenko
cooling system depends on the high dry bulb inlet temperature and its air mass flow rate so that it will produce a greater
cooling capacity. The highest energy efficiency ratio (EER) occurs at a primary air mass flow rate of 0.05296 kg/s, the amount
of EER is highly dependent on the cooling capacity produced, where the cooling capacity will also increase with the increase
in the primary air mass flow rate.
