Summary
The migration of vapour from evaporator to condenser in low temperature ambients improves chiller performance significantly. The design considerations which affect system performance and reliability are described, and existing systems are used to show the importance of considering plant location at the early stages of building design. The differences in weather patterns for three sites, United Kingdom, Colorado, USA and Turkey are presented, with resultant variations in efficiency calculations. Future trends in thermosyphon cooling are described.
