Author(s) : HUGHES P. J.

Summary

A SURVEY OF WSHP SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS CURRENTLY UTILIZED IN COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THE PAPER SUMMARIZES THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY. THE SURVEY IDENTIFIED 4 BASIC WSHP SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS. IT IDENTIFIED 2 LIQUID FLOW PATH TYPES. IN THE < OPEN-LOOP > FLOW PATH, LIQUID FROM THE ENVIRONMENTIS DISCHARGED BACK TO THE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH OPERATING WSHP. IN THE < CLOSED-LOOP > FLOW PATH, LIQUID IS CONTAINED IN A CLOSED SYSTEM AND RECIRCULATED THROUGH THE WSHP. A SURVEY OF WSHP SYSTEM APPLICATION CHARACTERISTICS WAS ALSO PERFORMED. THE PAPER PRESENTS THE RESULTS OF THIS SURVEY IN THE FORM OF A SERIES OF GENERALIZATIONS INTENDED TO ASSIST DESIGNERS IN SELECTING THE MOST BENEFICIAL WSHP SYSTEM CONFIGURATION.
