Summary

An analysis of makeup air requirements and annual operating hours versus outdoor wet bulb temperature data can show a viable payback period for this system in many locations and applications. Because the system uses 100% outside air during all cooling hours, buildings requiring large amounts of makeup air have experienced exceptionally low power costs. The two-stage evaporative-chilled water system demonstrated provides improved indoor air quality and economical cooling even in areas with low power costs.
