EVAPORATIVE COOLING IN NONTRADITIONAL CLIMATES.

Author(s) : NATION J. A.

Summary

THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE OPERATION OF VARIOUS TYPES OF EVAPORATIVE OR ADIABATIC SATURATION COOLING SYSTEMS. ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO MULTISTAGE SYSTEMS AND SEVERAL UNIQUE AND RELATIVELY UNKNOWN SYSTEMS ARE DISCUSSED. IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE SUPPLY AIR TEMPERATURES EQUIVALENT TO THOSE OF MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS IN MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. A BUILDING WAS SIMULATED IN SIX US CITIES SELECTED FOR DIFFERING CLIMATES. EVAPORATIVE COOLING CAN SAVE FROM 10 TO 100% OF THE CONVENTIONAL MECHANICAL COOLING ENERGY. SYSTEM COSTS ARE STILL RELATIVELY HIGH AND PAYBACK RELATIVELY LONG IN MOST CASES.
