Type of article: Article

Summary

Describes an experiment conducted to determine the role of the thermal storage mass and its location in a cooling system based on longwave nocturnal radiation. States this parameter was found to be significant both for the amount of cooling power available and for the internal temperatures of the cooled space. Notes that the very existence of the thermal storage mass as part of the cooling system is important, but its location and the coupling between it and the radiating surface are even more important.
