Hollow Fiber Membrane-based Evaporative Cooling Systems covers the principles, applications, and optimization strategies of the evaporative cooling method. It demonstrates how this technology is a promising solution for fulfilling substantial cooling needs while reducing energy consumption.The book explores how the hollow fiber membrane-based evaporative cooler can solve the problems of droplet drift, mold growth, and air-water cross-contamination in conventional direct evaporative coolers. Due to the adaptability of this technology, it has the potential to satisfy the demand for sustainable thermal management across various domains, including data centers, electronic devices, agricultural settings, and industrial processes. This book will benefit researchers and graduate students studying advanced cooling systems, low-carbon technologies, and membrane materials, as well as industry professionals involved in advancing energy-efficient HVAC systems. Addresses the pressing need for sustainable cooling solutions. Bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation. Discusses an emergent, innovative solution for energy-efficient thermal control. Investigates practical applications from building space cooling to industrial process refrigeration. Includes several case studies on an evaporative water cooler and an air-cooling application.
About the Author: Dr. Xin Cui is an Associate Professor with the School of Human Settlements and Civil Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University. He received his Ph.D degree from National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2015 under Prof. Kian Jon Chua's supervision. Dr. Cui's main research interests are advanced air-cooling technologies, green air-conditioning systems, and building energy analysis. He has published more than 70 international peer-reviewed papers and participated in editing 2 academic monograph chapters. In the past five years, as a principal researcher, he has undertaken more than 10 scientific research projects, including the funding supports from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Key Research and Development Program of Shaanxi, and China Postdoctoral Science Foundation. He has been invited to participate in the International Energy Agency (IEA) Solar Heating and Cooling Programme (Task 63) to carry out international cooperation. He has received the Best Paper Award during the 12th International Symposium on Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning (ISHVAC 2021), and the Best Presenter Award in AUA-SEGT 2022 academic conference.Mr. Weichao Yan is a doctoral candidate at Xi'an Jiaotong University in China, specializing in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) engineering. His research focuses on evaporative cooling technology, optimization design of hollow fiber membrane modules, enhanced heat and mass transfer, and building energy conservation techniques. He has published 20 papers in renowned journals such as Applied Energy, Energy, and Applied Thermal Engineering. Mr. Yan has presented his work at over 10 international academic conferences, delivering oral presentations on his research findings.Dr. Chua Kian Jon holds the position of Associate Professor within the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore. Since 1997, his research has been focused on renewable energy systems and heat recovery systems. Dr. Chua has extensive experience in both modeling and experimental work, particularly in the realm of thermal energy systems, where he has applied nanomaterials and nanotechnology. With over 250 international peer-reviewed journal publications, six book chapters, and eight recent monographs, Dr. Chua is a recognized authority in advances in thermal energy and cooling systems.He has been elected to prestigious fellowships, including those from the Royal Society, the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the Energy Institute, and the IMechE. His publications have received over 16,200 citations, with a current h-index of 69. Consistently, recognized as one of the top 1% of scientists globally by the Universal Scientific Education and Research Network and top 2% of energy researchers by Elsevier, he also serves as Associate Editor for several leading journals in Elsevier, Wiley, and Taylor & Francis and sits on the editorial boards of many others. His research has earned him multiple local, regional, and international awards.
