Summary

IT WAS FOUND THAT IN MANY REGIONS OF THE WORLD, THE AVERAGE WI ND VELOCITY IS OVER 3 M/S AND IN COASTAL AREAS WIND VELOCITIES OF 5-8 M/S ARE QUITE NORMAL. LABORATORY TESTS WERE THEREFORE UNDERTAKEN WITH VARIOUS WIND VELOCITIES AND DIRECTIONS USING SPECIALLY CONSTRUCTED CONDENSERS WITH VARYING FIN SPACINGS, COIL DEPTHS AND COIL ARRANGEMENTS. IN PRESENTING THIS WIND-COOLED CONDENSER, THE AUTHOR HAS MADE A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE POWER CONSUMPTION OF COMMERCIAL FAN-COOLED CONDENSERS AND THE COST EFFECTIVE SIZE OF FANS. CALCULATIONS SHOW THAT THE WIND-COOLED CONDENSER IS MORE ECONOMIC THAN THE FAN-COOLED COUNTERPART. IN EXTREME CLIMATES, THE WIND-COOLED CONDENSER CAN BE ASSISTED BY AN EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM TO REJECT PART OF THE LOAD. A. H. S.
