Free cooling: A total HVAC design concept
Abstract
The free cooling concept which relates to system of air conditioning for mild, medium altitude and/or dry, hot climatic areas, whereby chillers and refrigerated cooling may be totally eliminated was examined. Substance of system comprises: (1) precooling of structure overnight; (2) direct exhausting of heat from light fitting; and (3) an improved process of evaporative cooling. Impact is that air conditioning for small and large new buildings may be facilitated at low capital costs with substantially reduces year round energy requirements. Standby chillers may be provided for depending on area and building characteristics.
