EVALUATING DESIGN TEMPERATURES FOR HVAC APPLICATIONS IN EXTREME CLIMATES.

Author(s) : RICHARD O. E.

Summary

THE PAPER ADDRESSES IN DETAIL AN EXPLANATION OF EXTREME TEMPERATURE ANALYSIS. IN DESIGNING FOR LARGE BUILDINGS THE THERMAL MASS OF THE STRUCTURE, AS RELATED TO DURATIONS OF TEMPERATURE ABOVE A SPECIFIED THRESHOLD VALUE, BECOMES THE DRIVING FORCE IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT OUTSIDE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WILL IMPACT ON THE HVAC SYSTEM. MUCH OF THIS PAPER DEALS WITH TEMPERATURE DURATION STUDIES.
