Abstractt
The rapid population growth has prompted the construction of apartment buildings for residence, especially in big cities. The rapid development of apartment and office buildings was followed by a search for the need for electrical energy input, especially to meet the need for compressor-based air conditioning (AC). Dew Point Evaporative Cooler is a cooling machine that uses the principle of evaporative cooling. This evaporative cooling is technically called adiabatic cooling which is an air conditioning process that is carried out by allowing direct contact between air and air vapor so that it occurs from sensible heat to latent heat. Thez variablesz measured inz thisz studyz werez variationsz inz humidityz withz airz flowz velocitiesz of 4.8zm/s, 9.5zm/s, and 11.3zm/s. The highest cooling capacity performance in the combined direct and indirect evaporative cooling system occurs at the highest air flow velocity V3 = 11.3m / s. Where the cooling efficiency = 2.294, the temperature drop in dry bilb = 6.425oC, the cooling effectiveness = 3.6 kW, ER = 4.1, and the value The total average air humidity (?RH) at air flow velocity V1 = 61.15%, V2 = 83.025%, and V3 = 91.325%.
