Resumo: The main objective of this study was to experimentally validate a mechanistic model for predicting the cooling efficiency (η) of wetted porous plates built with expanded clay. The expanded clay material was physically characterized by specific mass, surface area, and volume. The model was validated with dry bulb temperature (Tdb, °C) and air relative humidity (RH, %) data, which were continuously monitored in two different points, upstream and downstream the direction of the air passing through the porous plate. Data collection was carried out consecutively for a period of 10 days, between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Average values for η, simulated and observed, were 74.8 ± 7.4% and 68.3 ± 8.3%, respectively. Based on the developed model, it was observed that η was higher than 40% for Tdb > 30 °C and constant RH at 45%. The simulation for predictions indicates that the increase in the air temperature greater than 20 °C may affect negatively the production in greenhouses from states located in tropical and subtropical countries as Minas Gerais, Brazil, if some design criteria in the evaporative cooling system are not revised.

El material de arcilla expandida fue físicamente caracterizado encontrando su masa específica, área superficial y volumen. El modelo fue validado con datos de temperatura de bulbo seco (Tdb, ° C) y humedad relativa del aire (humedad relativa,%) que fueron continuamente monitoreados en dos puntos diferentes, en contra y a favor de la dirección del aire que pasa a través de la placa porosa. La recolección de datos se llevó a cabo de forma consecutiva durante un período de 10 días entre las 11:00 y 4:00 p.m. Los valores medios de η, simulados y observados, fueron 74,8 ± 7,4% y 68,3 ± 8,3%, respectivamente. Basado en el modelo desarrollado, se observó que η fue mayor del 40% para Tdb> 30 ° C y HR constante en 45%. La simulación indicó que el aumento de la temperatura del aire puede afectar negativamente la producción en invernaderos en Estados como Minas Gerais, Brazil, si no se revisan algunos criterios de diseño en el sistema de enfriamiento por evaporación.Universidad Nacional de Colombia2018-10-05T20:01:33Z2018-10-05T20:01:33Z2017-12info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfALVES-DAMASCENO, F. et al.
