Maisotsenko Dew-Point (M-Cycle) Formulation:
• Product Air Outlet: T_out = T_db,in − ε_dp · (T_db,in − T_dp) [°C]
• Wet-Bulb Effectiveness: ε_wb = (T_db,in − T_out) / (T_db,in − T_wb) > 100%
• Sensible Cooling (Zero Humidity Added): Q̇ = ṁ_product · c_p · (T_db,in − T_out) [kW]
• Energy Efficiency Ratio: COP > 25 (90% electricity reduction vs compressor AC).

📘 Calculation Methodology & M-Cycle Standards

Maisotsenko Dew-Point Sub-Wet-Bulb Principle

By pre-cooling the working air before it enters the wet channels, the thermodynamic limit shifts from the ambient wet-bulb ($T_{wb}$) all the way to the ambient dew-point temperature ($T_{dp}$), yielding wet-bulb efficiencies exceeding $100\%$.

Sensible Cooling Without Humidity Addition

The product supply air stream never contacts the wet surface directly, delivering crisp, dehumidified-feel sensible cooling without increasing the indoor relative humidity.

Key Engineering Assumptions

Counter-flow / cross-flow M-Cycle perforated dry-to-wet channel plate stack.
Sub-wet-bulb psychrometric path with dew-point effectiveness $\epsilon_{dp} \approx 75 - 88\%$.
Widely used in desert climate HVAC, datacenter free-cooling, and hybrid DOAS rooftop units.
