Author(s) : SCOFIELD C. M.

Summary

THE HEAT PIPE HAS FOUND NEW APPLICATION AS A DRY TYPE OR INDIRECT EVAPORATIVE COOLING COMPONENT FOR ARID CLIMATES. A SPRAY COIL TECHNIQUE IS EMPLOYED ON THE < WET > SIDE OF THE HEAT PIPE TO PRODUCE A DRY COOLING EFFECT ON THE MAKEUP AIR SIDE. ITS USE FOR CONSTANT VOLUME MULTIZONE AND VARIABLE AIR VOLUME SYSTEMS IS EXAMINED. THE PERFORMANCE IN THE SUMMER AND IN THE WINTER IS ANALYZED. THE LOCATION OF THE HEAT PIPE IN ORDER TO INCREASE OUTDOOR AIR QUANTITIES FOR VAV SYSTEMS IS DISCUSSED. SYSTEM COSTS AND POTENTIAL SUMMER AND WINTER ENERGY SAVINGS ARE DEVELOPED.
