THREE-STAGE EVAPORATIVE AIR CONDITIONING VERSUS CONVENTIONAL MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION.

Author(s) : ANDERSON W. M.

Summary

THE PAPER EXAMINES THE ECONOMICS OF THREE-STAGE INDIRECT/DIRECT EVAPORATIVE AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. THE THIRD STAGE OF COOLING IS CONSIDERED TO BE SUPPLIED BY MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION, TYPICALLY DIRECT EXPANSION OR CHILLED WATER. A PARAMETRIC STUDY OR SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS ISPERFORMED TO IDENTIFY THE KEY VARIABLES THAT INFLUENCE THE ECONOMIC EVALUATION REQUIRED TO JUSTIFY THE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH INSTALLING AN INDIRECT/DIRECT EVAPORATIVE AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM IN LIEU OF A CONVENTIONALMECHANICAL REFRIGERATION SYSTEM. A SERIES OF GRAPHS ARE PRESENTED THAT WILL ALLOW TO ESTIMATE THE ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF THREE-STAGE EVAPORATIVE AIR-CONDITIONING FOR HIS PARTICULAR BUILDING APPLICATION AND WEATHER CONDITIONS.
