Abstract

This study performed of a water cooling system by using a steam ejector and jet condenser to drop the temperature of the water in aquafarm by about $5^{\circ}C$ from $25^{\circ}C$ or higher in this research, to replace the present water cooling system, Ive focused on a water cooling system operated by latent heat of evaporation, thus this system needs a vacuum pressure to evaporate the water in enclosed tank. The water cooling effects are dependent on the vacuum pressure in the enclosed tank, and the cooling water is generated by evaporation. As the experimental results, the absolute vacuum pressure obtained was about $5{\sim}8mmHg$ using a steam driven ejector with jet condenser in experiments. The obtained results are respectively ${\Delta}T=7^{\circ}C$, ${\Delta}T=5^{\circ}C$ and ${\Delta}T=5.5^{\circ}C$ at heat exchanger flow rate 4L/M. The obtained results are respectively ${\Delta}T=5.5^{\circ}C$, ${\Delta}T=5.5^{\circ}C$ and ${\Delta}T=5.5^{\circ}C$ at heat exchanger flow rate 4.5L/M.
