Natural Cooling with Evaporation and Night Sky Radiation
Nowadays, architects, engineers and designers are ignoring the potential value of the most basic principles of natural cooling: Solar control (shade) Convective cooling Conductive cooling Evaporative cooling Radiant cooling In the first part of the article, solar control, convective cooling and conductive cooling were discussed in detail. When they cannot provide enough cooling then we may have to make use of evaporation. Evaporative Cooling The hottest areas tend to be dry and are ideally suited for evaporative cooling if water is available. When water is limited it can be used sparingly for just personal cooling. In general, direct evaporative cooling … Continue reading
