Abstract:
|
This study investigates the feasibility of using
direct and indirect evaporative cooling systems for
correctional facilities in two different Texas climatic
regions with the DOE-2.1E hourly energy simulation
program. The analysis is based on adding user
defined functions to the DOE-2 SYSTEMS subprogram
to simulate direct and indirect evaporative
cooling configurations. The DOE-2 program was run
with two weather tapes, one for Kingsville, Texas and
one for Abilene, Texas during April, July, and
October to resemble neutral, summer and winter
weather conditions. The results showed that direct
evaporative cooling is applicable in April for Abilene
and October for Kingsville. The indirect evaporative
cooling is feasible in July for Abilene and April for
Kingsville. |
