A system and method for cooling air includes using a refrigerant cooling
system and further using a refrigerant liquefaction subsystem or method
that includes using a heat sink cooler ("pre-cooler") to cool the heat
sink coolant before it is used to cool the refrigerant in the condenser.
One aspect of the refrigerant liquefaction subsystem may use a water mist,
which may be prepared by atomizers, high pressure nozzles, piezo-electric
ultrasonic nebulizers, or the like, to cool the heat sink coolant.
