Abstract
Indonesia is a tropical country with a fairly high temperature of around 30 - 35oC and with a relative humidity level of 70% -
80% to get a standard room comfort, which is 22a° C – 25d° C with relativeehumidity (400% Relative Humidity) 40% -60%.
(ASHRAE standard 62-1989 ASHRAE, Washington DC (1989)) cooling system0is required. With the above problems, an air
conditioning machine that is energy efficient and environmentally friendly, dew0pointuevaporativescooling, is needed. Dew
point8indirectuevaporative8cooling is a cooling processhwithout direct contact with air on the cooling media. This study
uses an in-line solid dry pad configuration withiaatotal of 20 bars containingfdrykice. Drylice isuput intoya padawithoappipe
length of 400dmmywithya 100% dryoice filling volume. Testing is done to determine the performance of indirect evaporative
cooling system dew point, which includes "cooling efficiency, energy efficiency ratio (EER), cooling capacity, dry bulb
temperature drop, condensation rate". The variables measured in this study were variations in humidity with a Heater
Capacity of 1kW, 1.5kW, and 2kW. The result of this research is SDP cooling performance which occurs due to the best
variation of humidity in the heating of 1.5 kW with Relative Humidity = 49.4%, reduction in dry ball temperature (?Tdb) that
occurs in each variation of air humidity, namely: heater capacity 1 kW with ?Tdb = 2.3250C, heater capacity 1.5 kW with
?Tdb = 3.40C, heater capacity 2 kW with ?Tdb = 30C, SDP capability in handling air latent loads is best at a capacity of 2
kW heater with relative humidity = 43.2%
