Question

Which of the following is NOT a physical mechanism that causes air to rise?A) orographic liftingB) frontal wedging C) adiabatic coolingD) convergence

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Adiabatic cooling systems function similarly to dry cooling systems, but with the incorporation of pre-cooling pads; running water over pre-cooling pads and drawing air through the pads depresses the ambient dry bulb of the incoming air. The depressed dry bulb allows for greater system heat rejection.

he result of this is that adiabatic systems are highly effective in hot, dry environments, while using less water than traditional evaporative units. Adiabatic units also deliver the required cooling capacity in a smaller footprint and/or lower fan motor horsepower than a completely dry cooler/condenser.
