THE USE OF INDIRECT EVAPORATIVE COOLING TO REDUCE PEAK ELECTRIC DEMAND IN NEW OFFICE BUILDINGS.

Author(s) : PETERSON J. L., HUNN B. D.

Summary

THE REDUCTIONS ARE ACHIEVED BY PRECOOLING VENTILATION AIR AND EXHAUSTING ENERGY FROM THE LIGHTING SYSTEM TO THE AMBIENT ENVIRONMENT, RESULTING IN REDUCED EQUIPMENT SIZES. THE INDIRECT EVAPORATIVE COOLER IS ASSUMED TO BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF A SINGLE-ZONE ROOFTOP UNIT THAT IS PROVIDED TO COOL A 1,000 M2 SINGLE-STORY OFFICE BUILDING. COST COMPARISONS BETWEEN ROOFTOP COOLING SYSTEMS THAT INCORPORATE INDIRECT EVAPORATIVE COOLING AND CONVENTIONAL VAPOUR-COMPRESSION ROOFTOP COOLING SYSTEMS SHOW THAT PEAK ELECTRIC POWER REDUCTIONS CAN BE ACHIEVED AT A FRACTION OF THE COST OF PROVIDING THE POWER IN NEW ELECTRICAL GENERATING FACILITIES.
