    I have a patent pending system that contains cold air and segregates hot air using air curtains.The hot air is not exhausted because that requires fresh air and the costs for heating/cooling/humidification/dehumidification of the fresh air.I use large air to air heat exchangers with evaporative and dry cooling capability. my blog on the dcj contains a link to drawings and schematics.take a look,I would appreciate feedback
